Objects - Games

In video games, objects transcend their basic functions to become narrative tools, environmental storytellers, and gameplay catalysts. A simple key can unlock a door, a character's past, or a new game mechanic. Objects establish world-building through environmental details, convey lore via collectibles, and create emotional resonance—a childhood toy left behind tells a silent story. They are the physical language of interaction, from puzzle solutions in adventure games to customizable gear in RPGs. Ultimately, objects shape player agency, turning passive observation into active engagement with the game's universe.
