Who’s at the door?

A Routine That Changes Itself

At first, the structure is predictable: wake up, wait, hear a knock. But over time, the rhythm breaks. Sometimes no one comes. Sometimes someone speaks. Sometimes the silence stretches on too long. The player can respond or ignore, take pills or resist them, but each action slightly shifts what comes next. There is no clear indication of right or wrong—only reactions that shape the mood and tone of the experience.

You may find yourself doing the following:

• Listening to voices that change from calm to unsettling
• Observing new objects appear inside the house
• Accepting help that may not be helpful
• Avoiding contact to protect your sense of control
• Repeating the same actions to see if something changes

A Story Without a Straight Line

There’s no dialogue tree, no journal, no obvious explanation. The narrative unfolds through repetition, discomfort, and altered details. It’s unclear whether the protagonist is being observed or is observing their own breakdown. This ambiguity is deliberate. The game asks the player to fill in the gaps based on emotion and detail rather than exposition. Each loop offers another clue—or misdirection.

Focus on Feeling Over Action

Who’s at the Door does not aim to challenge reflexes or logic. Instead, it centers on psychological tension and choice under pressure. It uses minimal interaction to explore larger themes—like solitude, memory, and control. The short runtime makes every choice feel heavy, and the looping structure creates a quiet tension. What matters isn’t just what you do, but how you interpret the things you see and hear.

The Question That Stays With You

After reaching one of the game’s endings, the player may not feel finished. The story resists final answers. It’s meant to sit in your mind, raising questions about what was real, who you were, and why the knocking felt so familiar. Who’s at the Door leaves its biggest moment unanswered—who it was, and whether you ever truly wanted to find out.
