Virtual dollhouse

Dollhouse is a simulation game created by indie developer Olivia Haines. In this free-to-play game, you can play inside a small three-story house. There are five rooms, each fully furnished with cute decor.

Dollhouse is a casual game designed for players of all ages. However, unlike other similar games, you don’t have to assemble the house yourself. In fact, there isn’t much to do in the game as everything is already in place. What you can do here is interact with the decoration and furniture to see some hidden surprises. Although, this simple gameplay gets boring over time. 

What is inside the Dollhouse?

Dollhouse offers calming and simple gameplay. As mentioned, it gives players access to a small three-story house. There are five bedrooms that you can explore. Each comes with decorations and furniture that you can interact with and move around using your mouse’s left-click. However, not all home items can be moved around. Some, especially the furniture, are fixed but you can still interact with them.

More than simple gameplay, the program also boasts a cute art design. However, the entire game is geared towards young female players. Even though there are no people, it is evident that the owner of the dollhouse is female. The majority of the house is in various shades of pink and blue, from the walls to the furniture. Even the decorations and toys are feminine in design.

As the dollhouse is already assembled, there is not much for players to do. You can click on some items and move them around, but that’s it. There are no mini-games to play or a shop where you can purchase new items to put on your dollhouse. It also doesn’t help that the app glitches, making things fall into the void and never return unless you reset the game. 

Is the game good?

If you are into cute games with simple mechanics, then Dollhouse is worth checking out. The game boasts a very feminine aesthetics that young girls would love to see. However, the gameplay is so simple that you don’t have much to do besides click on furniture and decor. It would have been better if players could rearrange the interior design of the dollhouse to give them satisfaction.
