Dollhouse is the sixth level in Superliminal. Most of the puzzles in this level utilize a portal mechanic which can be moved and resized at will. This level is home to Dr. Glenn Pierce's favorite quote.
Walkthrough
Go through the corridor and jump down. Enlarge the house and enter. Go forward until you see a room with a small opening on the left. Enlarge the house and enter. Follow the corridor. Enlarge the fan to blow down the Jenga tower and enter the door. Enlarge the left window and enter. Enlarge the inflatable house and enter. Looking through the vent that looks down upon the pool, move the inflatable house up to the second diving board and backtrack through the vent, exiting from the inflatable house’s entrance. The door on the second diving board will lead to a large hall with two portals. Entering one, you exit the other. Make one portal smaller and one larger. Enter the small portal to gain height. Put the smaller portal in the keyhole, go through the big one, and jump down to the chessboard. There is a cardboard house across the room. Resize it and enter.
Elevator Poster
This poster features a grey cat and the heading 'MEETING FOR CARDBOARD LOVERS' ASSOCIATION'. Cardboard boxes appear throughout the game but their amount significantly increases in this level (specifically in the hallways that "deviate from the Orientation Pathway"). Also related is the cardboard house whose doorway is used as a portal for the player.
So that's my cat. His name is Finn and he's a good boy... I decided to have a little bit of fun with [designing the elevator posters] and this is, by far, my favorite, of course.
