Synopsis Shade of the Marionette is a story-driven 3D action RPG in which you explore hidden rooms beyond the mirror, absorb other dolls, and strive to become the Masterpiece. Awakened by a familiar voice, the “little bird” opens her eyes for the first time in the “White Nest.” She sets out in search of the “food” prepared especially for her. Meet the Protagonist A doll given the name Piyorita. Quiet, taciturn, and calm by nature. She was born a blank doll, devoid of both emotion and memory. Drawn onward by a familiar voice, the other “Failures,” and surroundings that somehow feel familiar, she explores the rooms beyond the mirror with one goal: to become the Masterpiece. The World The “little bird” awakens to a familiar voice in a white Nest that, for reasons she cannot explain, feels strangely familiar. Guided by the gentle voice, she takes up a weapon to absorb the “food” prepared for her. Still incomplete, she is told by the Voice that to become the Masterpiece, she must steal the life force of other dolls and make herself whole. The rooms beyond the mirror lead to worlds that are unfamiliar, yet somehow not new. As though they had been prepared solely for her. She battles the dolls she encounters and fills herself with their life force, but even these beings she has never met seem strangely familiar. Yet the other Failures, desperate to earn the Voice’s approval, view the “little bird” with jealousy and hostility and compete to become the Masterpiece... Will the “little bird” truly be able to become the Masterpiece?
