Description

"Girl Doll Toy: Tamashii wo Kudasai" (translated as "Girl Doll Toy: Please Give Me Your Soul") is an obscure and intriguing title for the Sega Saturn, released exclusively in Japan in 1997. The game blends elements of adventure, horror, and simulation, creating a unique gaming experience. Players assume the role of a doll maker who discovers a mysterious doll named Maria in an old European mansion. The main objective of the game is to solve the mystery surrounding Maria and the mansion by exploring different rooms, collecting objects, and interacting with various characters. The game's atmosphere is heavily influenced by Gothic themes and storytelling, which adds to its eerie and immersive gameplay.

Developed and published by Outrigger Koubou, "Girl Doll Toy: Tamashii wo Kudasai" did not see widespread popularity, largely due to its limited release and niche appeal. The game features a mix of 2D sprites and 3D backgrounds, which was a common graphical approach during the era to blend detailed character art with more dynamic environments. Gameplay involves puzzle-solving and decision-making, with multiple endings that depend on the player's choices throughout the game. Although it never became a mainstream hit, the game has gained a cult following over the years due to its unique concept and haunting storyline, making it a sought-after collector's item for fans of Japanese exclusive Sega Saturn games and those who enjoy horror-themed adventures.
