The Dollhouse is an interactive fiction tabletop game. Also known as "The Instructions to a Psychological Story Game for Four Players, Based on The Yellow Wallpaper." In the game, players are tasked with creating a complete three act story, while attempting to convince players how each piece moved from the previous narrative card to the next. Each player begins their Act by speaking "I saw it happen..." and telling their version of the events which unfolded.
On this project Josh assumed the roles of Writer and Game Designer, building out and refining different narrative paths. His main task was injecting subtext into each card, and explore their possibility space.
