Our take on Don't open the doors!
The premise points toward a simple objective: find the central door and destroy it. The described play also includes exploration, gathering, environmental destruction, conversations, traps, secrets, and bosses, so the route to that goal is framed as a varied series of activities rather than a single combat loop.
What is Don't open the doors!?
Explore an open world made from clay, where doors have appeared and nearby objects and creatures have started talking or attacking.
The goal is to locate the Main super door and destroy it with a megabomb. Along the way, the game combines action with exploration, conversations with unusual characters, and challenges involving traps, secrets, and bosses. A hammer can be used to break parts of the environment. Resources for ammunition and healing come from the world: cornfields provide corn for the pop corn gun, while berries can be gathered for healing compote. The game’s plasticine look was made by hand using over 8000 photos.
