''Dolls Fall'' is a creation of Makoto Kedouin, the same mind who came up with ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'', and the new story ups the [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence eroguro]] significantly. There's some suggestion that ''Dolls Fall'' takes place in the same universe as ''Corpse Party'', but it's its own franchise nonetheless. The lead character is Meiri Chibana, who on her 13th birthday lost her family to a fire. While traumatizing, it hasn't done anything to [[IncorruptiblePurePureness negatively affect her outlook on life]]. This makes her a person of interest to Chloe Zola, the headmistress of Jiaiin Girls Dormitory (where Meiri comes to live) and the successor of Lizzie Borden.

** Many fans have noted that Louise Warifu displays a lot of traits people have come to know and love of Seiko Shinohara. Arguably, she's an {{expy}}.
** In ''Corpse Party'', Mitsuki Yamamoto [[spoiler:stands out among the deaths for her final defiance]]. The same is true for the journalist Yamamoto in ''Dolls Fall'', who is the only ''Dolls Fall'' character to share a last name with a ''Corpse Party'' character.
** In ''Corpse Party: Blood Drive'', Sachi Shinozaki's signature weapon is a hatchet and axes are the default weapons used by Red Helms. ''Blood Drive'' came out in 2014 and thus has shared development time with ''Dolls Fall''. It follows that one inspired the other, given Kedouin's refusal to not make the most of any idea and that there were no axes or hatchets in ''Corpse Party'' prior to ''Blood Drive''.

Calling Jiaiin Girls Dormitory an OrphanageOfFear is putting it mildly, as surviving it requires three years of both strength and luck and coming out without trauma is impossible. The dolls in "Dolls Fall" are the students, and "Dolls Fall" itself is the name of the "game" of who will survive the witches inhabiting the orphanage wall and who won't. The students only have the benefit that they are selected based on their ownership of a Possessed, a kind of superpower that is supposed to protect them, but it's not rare for students to die before they even discover the nature of their Possessed.

* WitchHunt: The titular Dolls Fall. Once the witches go roaming, they seek out girls who've done bad and target them, though only one is targeted at a time. A target knows they're it due to getting to see the witch's sign in a reflective surface like a mirror or window. A target has to die within a week or the witches will make more victims. The only way for a target to survive is to kill another to replace them. This other person does not have to have done anything bad at all as at this point it's about the process, not morality. There's no way to know who's a target unless they confess, so Headmistress Chloe seeks out girls who've done bad and publically exposes them. The result is that these girls become the target of the entire rest of the student body who'd want them dead before they can kill. Mind, though, that Chloe can only expose whom she knows of, so it's always possible the target is not among the exposed, causing only further panic. Add everyone's Possessed Ability into the mix, and things get intense.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Those who are targeted by the witches only can survive one way: kill someone else to take their place as a target.
