Game Development and Release Information
The game was initially announced by Japanese developer Nitroplus and its graphics production team, Nitro Arts (formerly Nitroplusarts). “Dolls Nest” is slated for release on PC via Steam. While some early announcements indicated a 2024 release window, the game was later postponed to Spring 2025 to ensure higher quality, with a specific release date of April 23, 2025, also mentioned.
