Our take on Please close the doors
The store pitch foregrounds the mystery of identifying one criminal among the passengers, but the experience also depends on relationship management, sudden lethal attacks, FSB interference, and multiple weapon types. That makes it less of a pure deduction game than the central premise suggests.
What is Please close the doors?
This detective-thriller quest traps eight people inside an elevator at a Moscow pharmaceutical company while the FSB searches for one of them.
One passenger is a criminal who may kill the others during power cuts. The investigation involves questioning each character about the day before the incident and comparing their statements for contradictions. Interrogations affect relationships: excessive questioning can make innocent passengers refuse further answers, while suspicion may prompt the killer to attack during a later blackout. Survival also involves threats from FSB personnel guarding the company’s secrets.
Endings vary according to chosen actions, character relationships, and the final outlook. Weapons range from mops and scissors to alarms and guns. The story uses notes, newspapers, character memoirs, and environmental details to reveal its alternate universe, with an original soundtrack.
