KIWIWALKS Announces Shadow Of The Doll For 2027
KIWIWALKS is returning to the Witch's Spring world with a new protagonist and a full action RPG framework, testing whether the series' audience follows the setting rather than a returning cast.

KIWIWALKS announced Shadow of the Doll: Piyorita's Story on September 14. The 3D story action RPG is planned for 2027 on PC via Steam and consoles, with Japanese display and subtitles. Players control Piyorita, a doll who wakes in a white room called the Nest and enters a world hidden behind a mirror, absorbing other dolls to become the one and only finished product.
The game inherits the worldview of the Witch's Spring series but hands the lead to a new doll named Piyorita, born with her emotions and memories blank. A voice wakes her and pushes her to take the life force of other dolls and make herself complete, while failures who want the voice's recognition turn jealousy and hostility on her.
Exploration covers rooms behind the mirror, and the order players release them changes how the story unfolds. Combat is sword-based action with unlimited dashing, magic, elevation, and obstacles, and a Nest base handles crafting and boss dolls that become playable.
