The White Door is a point-and-click puzzle video game developed by Dutch studio Rusty Lake.[1] Released on Steam and iOS on January 9, 2020 and on GOG.com on April 14, 2020, it was highlighted as different from other games in Rusty Lake series, telling a more "personal" story.[2]
Gameplay
The White Door's story follows Robert Hill, who wakes up in a mental health facility in 1972, suffering from amnesia, with no memories about his life. The player needs to go through slowly changing daily routine of Robert, following a set of instructions, solving puzzles and searching for hints to find about his background and help him restore lost memory.[3][4]
Reception
The game has been praised for its unique monochrome style and vagueness of the narrative, uncommon for games where the main character has lost their memory, leaving some questions unanswered.[5] The White Door was described by PC Gamer as "getting under your skin and making you feel what it's like to be somebody else" and "the game about feeling as bad as it's possible to feel", where everyone can find certain personal relevance and significance.[5]
