We were getting some dolls out for a visitor when we saw this curious object in the same box.

We didn’t think it looked like a doll at first, but on closer inspection it is indeed a figure. Before we tell you, can you guess what it’s made from?

Object number 19.2.58/1

The first part of the number, is also the date in which it was acquired by the museum.

Answer: Fig doll or nawakee from Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Available online for the first time! Just added this dollhouse curio cabinet with 40+ specimens to my Etsy (link in bio)

I didn't make the cabinet itself, just found, arranged, and secured the contents.

Shoutout to these unidentified teeth found in my mother's jewelry box. Nobody in my family (including my mom) knows where they came from, but they appear to be cat teeth?

Curios: Jasper Park

An investigative horror mystery experience by Seb Pines

After rummaging through the treasure chest that was Curios: Albrecht Manor by Seb Pines last year, I finally sat down to open Jasper Park, the second installment of the Curios series, and wasn't disappointed. This time, you're investigating the disappearance of a group of hikers in Jasper National Park - have they simply fallen prey to nature's dangers or is there more behind this mysterious case?

I'll be honest - I don't think writing a review like I usually do makes a lot of sense (although chrisairgames did a great job with Albrecht Manor). Most of this experience hinges on you going through the materials and puzzling together the events yourself. For me, these feel like elaborate, kinda multimedia novellas for a cozy evening alone or in a group. The appeal is definitely in the "supernatural office job"-vibes, which is also why I don't have my Albrecht Manor notes anymore (it was so good, I repackaged everything and sent it to a friend to get a "professional second opinion" - expecting heated exchanges of theories soon). Aside from that all I could actually talk about is the story itself and I'd rather you discover it on your own.

The care and artistry put into the materials is top notch. Jasper Park pulled me in even more than Albrecht Manor did, perhaps because this has a more pronounced "official investigation" vibe and a lot more perspectives to offer from other characters and sources. Thankfully, both games stand on their own - I think I'd even recommend starting with Jasper Park at this point. Admittedly, you don't actually have to cover your entire living room floor in clues like some poor man's conspiracy board, but it was a lot of fun. Also incredibly creepy.

So - no review. But a big fat endorsement. I really hope there'll be more installments, because this type of game/experience/story ticks all my personal boxes. You can see some pictures after the cut, if you're not too afraid of tiny spoilers.

Also a picture of what the whole thing looked like in the end (minus the last two entries, which i had to fit on the couch). So small you can't read the text and so less danger of spoiling it for yourself, but if you're curious:
