Is Doorways: The Underworld worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror fans who want first-person exploration with a psychological story
- Puzzle players who want reflex-based challenges alongside investigation
- Players interested in episodic adventures who are comfortable starting with a later chapter
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a relaxed or slow-paced adventure may bounce off the fast gameplay and reflex tests.
- Players wanting a fully self-contained story may hit a wall with the third-chapter structure and its continuing Doorways narrative.
- Linux players focused on achievements will encounter nonfunctional achievements on that platform.
Our take on Doorways: The Underworld
The likely bounce point is the fast-paced challenge structure: players who enter expecting atmospheric horror exploration may hit a wall when puzzles give way to reflex tests. Linux achievement hunters have a separate hard stop, since achievements do not function there.
What is Doorways: The Underworld?
Play as Thomas Foster, a special agent searching for a missing psychopath in The Underworld, the third chapter of the Doorways series.
This first-person horror adventure combines exploration with puzzles and challenges that test reflexes. Its story can be played without the earlier chapters, although the vendor recommends them for a fuller understanding of the narrative. The game includes voice acting, controller support, and native Oculus Rift support. Secret locations provide additional places to discover during the journey. Doorways is divided into three separately playable parts: Prelude, The Underworld, and Holy Mountains of Flesh. On Linux, achievements do not function.
