Story and Gameplay
Following a family tragedy, Tom and his mother Sara seek a fresh start at Jagged Shore Cliff. Inside their new home, a dusty cabinet holds an unsettling doll named Baptiste accompanied by a warning against releasing it from its glass prison.
Drawing inspiration from classic horror tales such as Annabelle and R.L. Stine's Night of the Living Dummy, alongside games like P.T., Layers of Fear, and the Outlast series, Baptiste focuses on atmospheric tension and emotional depth rather than direct jump scares. Players explore an ominous mansion, solve puzzles, and piece together clues while navigating a child's perspective on trauma and the descent into madness.
