Awakened by the dying will of a forgotten god, a sentient statue known as the Doll of Marble is cursed with eternal life. Unable to die, she wanders a world that exploits her indestructible form, while centuries of loss and suffering deepen her despair. Even Death denies her, revealing her fate lies beyond its grasp. Bound to an existence without end, she retreats into isolation, a relic of divine hubris waiting for the universe to unravel. Her story is one of immortality, longing, and the search for an end that may never come.

The Marionettes Curse
In the small, unassuming town of Havenbrook, an eccentric toymaker named Mr. Gallows crafted intricate marionettes, each one more lifelike than the last. After his sudden and mysterious death, his workshop was abandoned-until curious teenagers stumbled upon it decades later. When 16-year-old Cassie and her friends discover an ornate marionette hidden in a locked trunk, they take it home as a creepy souvenir. But the doll, named Lucille, isn't just a lifeless toy. She has a mind of her own-and a thirst for vengeance.

As accidents turn deadly and paranoia spreads, Cassie uncovers the truth about Mr. Gallows' dark experiments and the sinister force that animates Lucille. Now Cassie must confront the horrifying reality: Lucille isn't just a puppet-she's a killer.

Scarring
Scarring tells the story of Matilda, a porcelain doll brought to life in a city dying of plague and decay. Inside her fragile body beats a mechanical heart - cold, steady, and unrelenting - a symbol of both her creation and her curse. As she awakens to awareness, Matilda begins to question what it means to exist, to feel, and to suffer, haunted by the relentless ticking within her chest. Her creator, Lancier, is a nobleman driven by loneliness and obsession, seeking perfection through lifeless beauty. But when his creation begins to think and feel for herself, his fascination turns to fear and cruelty. Through Matilda's eyes, Scarring explores the birth of emotion in something meant to be soulless - a fragile rebellion against the man who made her and the collapsing world that surrounds them.
