The Casting of Frank Stone - The Dolls

The dolls are a creepy set of 12 collectable items for players to find across The Casting of Frank Stone.

Each is based on a killer from Dead by Daylight and is intended to be a twisted, corrupted version of various children's toys. They come in four varieties, pull-string, baby doll, teddy bear and a Barbie-adjacent action figure. The core idea is that each has been modified by an unknown person, using everyday items like paper clips, razor blades and barbed wire.

My favourite detail is that even the doll version of The Clown has real human fingers hanging from his ring!

As Art Director, it's incredibly rewarding to see a project evolve from early concepts to the final image on-screen and in the player's hands. We stayed quite true to the initial vision for the game as these comparisons show!

Special thanks must go to Gaia Buggio for her awesome concepts and Manuel Capitani, Jean Zoudi and Luis Omar for their excellent work on the doll assets. Check out their profiles below!
