Verdict: Not Recommended

Toymaker (2017) is a walking simulator that doesn't offer much beyond exploration and the occasional jumpscare. While the atmosphere might appeal to some, the game feels repetitive and heavily relies on luck, making it frustrating rather than enjoyable. The lack of a clear purpose and unrefined mechanics make it hard to recommend unless you're specifically looking for a minimalistic, unpredictable experience with hidden passages.

Even though updates are promised with more levels, the core gameplay doesn't justify the time investment for most players. There are better alternatives out there for anyone looking for a more polished and engaging walking simulator. Proceed with caution.
