✦ AI summary

Doorways: Old Prototype is a short atmospheric horror experience that players praise for its thrilling environments, smooth performance, and clever mechanics involving lighting and perspective puzzles, though opinions diverge on whether the brief playtime and rough execution justify experiencing it. The game shows creative ideas and creates genuinely eerie moments, but suffers from clunky movement, underdeveloped storytelling, and raw gameplay that some find compensated by its atmospheric design while others feel the hour-long runtime leaves the concept underexplored.

Good 3D platformer, looks rather decent considering when it was put together. Looking at the other Doorways games, seems this is the only one with this kind of review rating. Shame, it's honestly quite alright.

Игра 'Doorways: Old Prototype' – это короткий и атмосферный хоррор с видом от первого лица, демонстрирующий любопытные идеи, но страдающий от слабой реализации. Главная фишка – манипуляции с освещением и перспективой для решения головоломок, что временами создает действительно завораживающие моменты. Однако, геймплей кажется сырым, движение неуклюжим, а история слишком размытой и недосказанной, чтобы по-настоящему увлечь. Графика, хоть и устаревшая, создает нужное ощущение зловещей заброшенности. Звуковое оформление, в особенности жуткие шепоты и скрипы, нагнетает напряжение. К сожалению, продолжительность игры очень мала – ее можно пробежать за час, что не позволяет раскрыть потенциал мира и персонажей. В целом, 'Doorways: Old Prototype' – это интересный концепт, требующий доработки. Это скорее техническая демка, чем полноценная игра, показывающая основы, на которых могла быть построена более глубокая и захватывающая история. Рекомендуется к ознакомлению только фанатам инди-хорроров и тем, кто хочет увидеть ранние наработки студии. Ожидать чего-то сверхъестественного не стоит.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
