Doll House - Games

In gaming, 'Doll House' often refers to environmental storytelling through meticulously crafted miniature spaces. Players explore these contained worlds—like a Victorian dollhouse or a diorama—to uncover narrative fragments through object placement and subtle details. This design approach emphasizes atmosphere over action, using scale and perspective to evoke intimacy or unease. Symbolically, it can represent themes of control, nostalgia, or domestic horror, inviting players to piece together stories from static scenes. The concept is prevalent in puzzle, horror, and narrative-driven games, where the environment itself becomes a character.
