Bound by Strings

Bound by Strings is a first-person narrative puzzle game set in an old marionette workshop steeped in grief, obsession, and eerie elegance.

You play as Louis, a grieving husband drawn into the twisted legacy of his father-in-law, Faustus—a once-revered puppet maker driven mad by the loss of his daughter. Invited to the abandoned workshop, Louis must uncover the truth about Faustus’ final creation: a lifelike puppet that bears a haunting resemblance to his late wife, Emilie.

Explore old vintage rooms, solve atmospheric puzzles, and piece together the story behind Faustus’ descent—and your place in his final act.
