Hi people, this may not apply to this game (for which I apologize). But isn't this the game where during the game, the mannequins eventually start helping the player to solve puzzles, find clues, keys, etc.?
(Or maybe they are constantly helping the player from the very beginning of the game, but the player doesn't realize it at first and is afraid of them, I don't know). I don't remember on which platform, YouTube or something else, but about 2-4 years ago I saw a gameplay video where a mannequin pointed to a door key or, for example, a ventilation shaft hatch that the player could use to move forward. One player blogger called the behavior of the dummies funny and cute. The style of your dummies is very similar to what I saw in that video.
