Doorways: The Underworld

About

A first-person puzzle game where shifting environments and cryptic mechanics test your ability to adapt. You navigate decaying spaces that rewrite their rules as you move through them solving logic based challenges while avoiding threats that escalate with each new area. The interface stays minimal letting the warped architecture and sudden hazards do the talking. The game's five achievements sit at a steep average of 7.3% completion with the rarest requiring players to find a hidden science terminal in a section only 4.7% of people reach. Launched in 2014 it maintains a cult following for its abstract take on horror and puzzle design. Players often mention how the lack of clear guidance combined with backtracking through transformed levels creates a disorienting effect that lingers long after quitting.
