The Collector by MaxBluePanda

You are an unnamed doll trapped in the twisted collection of a cruel Collector. He experiments on his toys, mutilating them and turning them into hollow shells of their former selves.
Now, he has begun doing the same to you, but this time, you have a chance to escape.
Use whatever you can find to aid your escape. Navigate through his domain, confront the toys he’s mangled beyond recognition, grow stronger, and fight your way to freedom.
But the Collector has noticed your absence and is hunting for you. Hide behind objects to avoid his gaze, but remember: to truly escape, you may have no choice but to face him in battle.

I was able to play two rounds:
One round where I collected objects... On repeat? No inventory, nothing. But okay, I managed to advance a few tables, some pawns attacked me and other strange things happened. It was very pretty and the music created a nice atmosphere. Then finally, with no way through, I decided to “jump” and fall into the void. A boss fight ensued in which all the pins I had collected were useless. I died.
Second game, an infinite loop: I can only do two tables, the objects respawn in a loop.
I don't know if I was just unlucky. In any case, the concept is great and the art direction is really cool.
I didn't really understand the gameplay, i tried dodging the collectors attacks but didn't know how to attack back or how to continue on forward
I restarted it about ten times and managed to see a few locations. Somehow, I even made it to the boss fight with the Collector, but he took me down :)
I can’t really judge the gameplay part, but the art and visual style are top-notch — I really liked them!
