The Steam page describes Shade of the Marionette: The Story of Piyorita as follows:
Game Overview
Shade of the Marionette is a story-driven 3D action RPG that blends fast-paced, accessible, and stylish combat with an intricate story that builds on the expansive world of WitchSpring and a rich crafting system.
The order in which you unlock the rooms changes the scenes you witness and the way the story unfolds.
Choose which hidden rooms beyond the mirror to unlock, and guide the “little bird” as she absorbs the dolls she encounters on her journey to become the Masterpiece.
Meet the Protagonist
A doll given the name Piyorita. Quiet, taciturn, and calm by nature. She was born a blank doll, devoid of both emotion and memory.
Drawn onward by a familiar voice, the other “Failures,” and surroundings that somehow feel familiar, she explores the rooms beyond the mirror with one goal: to become the Masterpiece.
The World
The “little bird” awakens to a familiar voice in a white Nest that, for reasons she cannot explain, feels strangely familiar. Guided by the gentle voice, she takes up a weapon to absorb the “food” prepared for her. Still incomplete, she is told by the Voice that to become the Masterpiece, she must steal the life force of other dolls and make herself whole. The rooms beyond the mirror lead to worlds that are unfamiliar, yet somehow not new. As though they had been prepared solely for her. She battles the dolls she encounters and fills herself with their life force, but even these beings she has never met seem strangely familiar.
Yet the other Failures, desperate to earn the Voice’s approval, view the “little bird” with jealousy and hostility and compete to become the Masterpiece… Will the “little bird” truly be able to become the Masterpiece?
