Finding all five dolls

Tips

In short Collecting every doll requires you to search every room slowly and interact with anything suspicious.

Five dolls are hidden throughout the house. Collecting all of them earns the Completionist badge.

Tips worth knowing

Do not rush through any room — dolls sit in easy-to-overlook spots
Try left-clicking on objects even if they do not look important
