Device - Games

In gaming, a device is any tool, mechanism, or object that drives interaction, narrative, or gameplay. It can be a literal gadget like a key or portal, or a symbolic element representing themes such as control, technology, or transformation. Devices often serve as puzzles, plot catalysts, or world-building components, shaping player agency and immersion. Their design balances functionality with thematic resonance, making them integral to both mechanics and storytelling across genres.
