Our take on Behind The Door
The focus on ambience and story trades sudden scare effects for slower, environmental tension. That choice may not suit players who want screamers to drive the horror.
What is Behind The Door?
Play as John, a skeptical detective investigating an abandoned house where three teenagers were killed.
He arrives at night to find out what happened, then realizes he may not be alone. The case involves searching for letters and solving puzzles as the story unfolds. Rumors connect the deaths to ghosts, but John begins from the belief that ghosts do not exist. The horror relies on the house's environment, ambience, and story rather than screamers.
