Dolls Nest

Dolls Nest is a third-person action game set in Hod, a vast, ruined factory world. You control a mecha girl, a Frame Unit born to help recover what was taken from her creator, as you investigate the structures and their inhabitants.

Explore interconnected areas in search of resources, equipment, hidden routes, and encounters. Defeating area bosses opens new regions, while shortcuts and return points link paths through Hod. NPC events and side quests can also be discovered along the way.

Combat combines ranged and melee weapons with dodging and boosted movement; both dodging and weapon use consume energy. Swap Frame Unit parts and weapons to change your build and approach. The story is revealed through encounters and scattered clues rather than a continuous explanation.

In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the mix of mecha customization and Souls-like exploration, especially searching Hod’s interconnected industrial spaces for hidden items and shortcuts. The ruined-world atmosphere and the ability to shape a build with different parts and weapons are also recurring draws. Some reviewers find the combat and exploration rough around the edges, so the positive response is not uniform.
