Gameplay

[edit]

Doors is a roguelite horror puzzle game[1] where players progress through hotel rooms through opening or unlocking doors.[2] Additionally, players can gather doorknobs and gold, which can be used to purchase items at the beginning of the game or in an in-game shop called the "Jeff Shop", which appears mid-way through each round.[3] However, they must also navigate past "entities" that would try to kill them.[4][5] Players can dodge them through methods such as hiding in a closet or using a one-time use item called a "crucifix" to dodge their attack.[6][7] Players can also access other secret levels in Doors, such as a revamped version of another Roblox game, Rooms,[8] and The Backdoor.[9] Trial and error is a part of the gameplay.[3] In the game lobby, players can display how they are progressing through the game by showing off one selected achievement and how many times they died.[10]

History and development

[edit]

Doors was officially launched on August 10, 2022,[11] quickly gaining popularity post-release.[12] Fanmade theories and content based off Doors were created.[13] By April 2023, Doors achieved 3 billion total visits.[14] In December 2022, Doors announced their partnership with Makeship and the creation of Doors-themed merchandise.[15] A revamp of the in-game hotel was introduced on January 29, 2023.[16][17] On August 26, 2023, modifiers were incorporated, allowing users to alter their gaming experience after completing a successful game.[18] A second floor was teased to be in development, and confirmed by the developers subsequently.[19][20][21] Doors also participated in a Roblox event called "The Hunt," where a new sub-floor, "The Backdoor", was added.[9] The game is based off another Roblox game, Rooms.[11]
