Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: JapaneseDoll at 88% against Virtual Slender Simulator's 30%. JapaneseDoll also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (2K vs 128). Virtual Slender Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
