Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

77/100

DIY Paper Doll is a wonderful nostalgia trip that successfully translates the tactile joy of paper crafts into a digital creative suite. As an expert in creative sims, I was impressed by the sheer depth of the 'wardrobe'—it’s not just clothes; you’re choosing hairstyles, makeup, and even entire room themes. The 'scrapbook' aesthetic is charming and feels very personal.

The game strikes a perfect balance between structured 'diary' missions and pure creative freedom. It’s oddly meditative to 'dress' your character and then place them in a hand-drawn scene with stickers and pets. While it targets a younger audience, the quality of the art and the variety of fashion styles—from vintage to modern chic—make it an enjoyable creative outlet for anyone who likes design and journaling. It’s essentially a high-quality digital dollhouse with a great sense of style.

Paper Dolls
Mon May 29 2023 sfhkvsyn

This game was actually really fun, but kind of short and repetitive. The levels were pretty short, which made it quick and fun to a point where I didn’t get bored of the plot, but there were only like 80 levels. I wish you were able to change your name, I guess I’m okay with the name Emily but I would’ve liked to change it to something that fits my adaptation of the character. The diary was a cute touch but I wish you (the person playing the game) was able to write in it themselves and share their opinion on certain events. The timeline made no sense, one minute we were in collage and the next it was the end of the year and we were at prom (I’m not kidding those 2 stories were only 2 apart from each other), and at one point we dressed up like Billie Eilish which made no sense. We also had some stories that were just kind of random, the whole gamer thing was kind of unnecessary. The dollhouse was one of my favorite things in the game, it was so cute and a fun add on with the whole paper doll concept, I wish we had more house options though. The plot ended at a weird place, we were on our honeymoon as they awkwardly hinted at a pregnancy when the game just ended, please add more levels. The clothes were really cute but they got kind of repetitive after a while, and the hand you use to drag them onto the doll was kind of creepy. At one point they gave you the option to watch an add in order to shower, why did we never shower again though? This game made me nostalgic of old computer games from the 2010s, and was definitely worth my time, even though I went through all the levels in 3 hours.

Great game but…

I love this game and I think it’s so entertaining and exciting to see what happens next! It’s an amazing game to play on a plane or a long car ride. The thing I like about this game is that you need NO Wi-Fi I am about 95 percent sure. Also if ads pop up all you need to do is put your device on airplane mode! I absolutely love this game and think you should download it. But there are a few bugs. Sometimes when I dress someone up like the guy somethimes the girl, they come out with nothing on except the thing you would wear under your clothes an other thing is when I leave the game in the middle of the little story that happens it makes me do it all over again. Those the only bugs I have seen but this game again is the perfect game to play on no Wi-Fi and other stuff and PLEASE download it it’s SO fun - Emily. This is a note to the person who made this game. Hi! I LOVE this game and I think it’s awesome. I don’t know how many levels there are but please make a lot I play like 20 levels in one day ehe again I LOVE THiS APP bye! - again Emily

Good and fun game, however..

Honestly, I love the game. But as with all mobile games there’s a lot of ads throughout the gameplay. While this is undeniably annoying, it’s understandable for the developers to make their wage; leading off that the frequent ads are irritable but understandable. So if you’re okay with the ads popping up every now and then I would say go ahead and download the game. However at a certain level of the game, I was able to adopt a dog, named Bella. Who I assume is female. This is where we run into another minor issue with the paper doll game. Bella was able to buy a outfit at the store for what I would say is for females. Afterwards, though I thought the dog was a girl, the game continued misgendering the dog, saying ‘he’ when talking about the dog. I know this was probably just default settings as the two other dogs you could choose were assumably male. Since this is most likely the case, the whole thing is a minor matter, but still very worthy of fixing. Id also like to add the AI voice for the doll is slightly unsettling, and could be tweaked. Thank you for your time, Player

It’s a great game in concept. I love playing it (I finished all currently available the levels in two days). The ADs don’t really bug me as much they seem to bug other people, too! But… I have five tiny little suggestions. One, obviously I’d like more levels. Two, more houses! Maybe a hotel room house unlocked at the honeymoon? Or a shared house with a nursery? (Which is maybe where you can place that crib you bought??) Three, make it possible to LOSE the fashion contests, and make us go up against different outfits, instead of the same outfit each theme. Four, maybe we could NAME our dolls? It doesn’t have to be all of them, maybe just Emily, James, and the dog. (POSSIBLY Amy and Michael too). And last but not least, more outfits! More outfits from the “Room Rewards” or whatever you call them… more outfits for the fashion contests… oh, and more themes for the fashion contests too! Besides all that, DIY Paper Doll is a pretty great game! Has a lot of potential to be something great, and that’s why I rate it four stars. Sorry for the lengthy review, I just like to share everything I think about a game.

A couple of things…
Wed Jul 23 2025 Sparrowclub

I enjoy playing this game, it takes up a lot of my online time, but a couple of things to mention. The most annoying thing about this game is the ads. I am not usually a very judgmental person, but the ads in this game are constant🙁 after every level there is an ad. I am on level 60 right now, and I have watched tons of ads, to unlock clothes, to earn extra coins, and to move on from level to level. Also, I wish we could make our own story. Like we didn’t have to be named Emily, we could have more control over the story. I think it is a bit inappropriate, just a little though. They kiss, James and Emily sleep in the same bed and then finds out Emily is pregnant, you have to tap to make them kiss, and when your dressing Emily and sometimes James, the clothes are revealing. Emily’s top is very revealing and her bottoms could be shorts. James has no shirt because he is a boy, but still. It has kissing, cheating, and bullying. Always read reviews ❤️⭐️

LOVE THIS SO MUCH.. But..
Sun Aug 27 2023 MagicalTiger

I loved this game so much! It was so Interesting and you could actually keep playing it without getting bored. My only problem is I got so addicted to it I raced through it! And when I found I was pregnant I got so excited!!!! But I didn’t even get to see the baby be born!! The docter even said “we will see the gender next time.” THERE IS NO NEXT TIME 😭!! Now I’m really sad that my only option is just to start over and play the same story over and over again. I really wanted that dialog to continue, I really wanted to see my baby!!! Maybe you could add more?? But I really don’t want to start over to get there if you do add more levels. So maybe for those ones who already finished it you can go back on levels?? Ty! This is a really fun game I got addicted to it TOO MUCH! I really wanted it to continue and to see my baby soooo baddd I didn’t even find out the genderrrr 😭😭😭😭😭!! But I’ll just give this game a 5 stars just how fun it is!! And that’s my review.

Great game but Lots of little mistakes!

I love this game, It’s so fun and there’s bearly any adds! But the thing is, When you do the level the first day she meets up with Amy but in the text she says “I think me and Amy are going to be best friends” if they know each others names already that’s find of weird, and when you do levels she’s on vacation the next thing you know it’s Halloween another thing is If I want to do a add to go back in time it won’t let me watch the add and there’s more when you adopt the dog she says “i love him!” But on the next level she says “she” and that’s very weird and I noticed a lot of glitches and grammar mistakes, And sometimes when I’m dressing up my character such as on the wedding day when I go to dress up the preacher I click the outfit I want but there’s no check mark so I have to close the app, and when your on the car after they get married James isn’t in the car he’s on top of it which is weird! I don’t know if it’s my wifi but please fix these glitches! Thank for taking your time to read this.

This is an awesome game but I have a few personal issues
Thu Jan 25 2024 XxTotally_MarynxX

I love this game. It is so addictive and fun but I personally hate the Billie Eillish cosplay. I don’t understand why it is on this game considering Emily is a streamer, not a cosplayer. Another thing that kind of irritates me is that the only name you can have is Emily and that you can only be female. I like the name Emily and all but I don’t think I would want to be named Emily. What if your a male? I know this game is designed more towards girls but some boys may be interested and a bit disappointed. Maybe this game could have an update where you choose the gender you want and continue that story. The next thing is that there are SO MUCH ads. Every time I switch screens I get an ad. If I click a simple button, I get an ad. I think devs should probably decrease the amount of ads. Overall, this game is amazing and very enjoyable. I get addicted to it every time I play. Obviously some things are a little annoying but what can I say? It’s not ruining the game. Keep up the good work!!!
