2. Nameless ~The one thing you must recall~
Another classic from the Cheritz vault, Nameless casts you as Eri, your average high school student with a penchant for collecting ball-jointed dolls.
She treats them like family, but cannot tell a single soul of her hobby, for fear of being branded as ‘that freak who keeps the creepy doll things in her bedroom, oh god burn them with fire’.
When her grandfather dies and leaves her all alone, she turns to the dolls for company. As one tends to do. This is until she has a bizarre dream where feathers come out of her diary, and she awakens to strange sounds coming from her kitchen.
It sounds like the premise of a survival horror game, and if you’ve ever actually looked at a ball-jointed doll, you may think that perhaps it is.
Needless to say, her BJD — which is a most vulgar acronym — have sprung to life, and have fortunately taken the form of cute, non-threatening boys!
All of the dolls have their own unique foibles, such as an early model that feels inferior because he was designed without all of the features of his successors (aww), and one with a gorgeous yet insincere face because he was designed for adults (eww).
