A House of Many Doors is a game I've loved for ages, so it's where I'm going to start with my new project of "review more games in my library". I'll be honest, this game can be a slog. I am a person who can easily put on a podcast in order to do boring game tasks like "crawling from city to city in a largely fixed and repetitive map"; I am also a person who puts in the effort to make a map in a spreadsheet to make playing the game easier. The vehicle-to-vehicle combat minigame is difficult to master, and there's a LOT of clicking through storyline options in a city and little tasks to attend to (I do also enjoy little tasks). That said? The game was made by one guy doing frankly unsustainable levels of work, and the art and writing captivate me so intensely I will overlook the boring travel parts in order to dive into the beautiful, offbeat, cynical, deeply humanist stories the game conjures. Each location and each person commits to its strangeness wholeheartedly, and the patchwork creates a whole world as diverse, cruel, and marvelous as our own. It reminds me of a lazy spring afternoon hauling a tabletop role-playing sourcebook into the tree outside my house when I was twelve and getting lost in someplace else, with a far clearer-headed attitude towards power and living in systems of power than most, and for that, I'll overlook any fault.

If you like Sunless Sea or Sunless Skies you will like this game. Its a dark -literally dark- fantasy game where you explore a parallel dimension and its strange cities in your centipede-like vehicle. Interesting characters abd sites, and lots of good writing. Lots to read! - I have experienced a couple of crashes while playing it, but still good value 8 out of 10.

July 2024

A sort of "FTL" mixed with the vibes of "the night cage" and "kingdom death monster" the game is glitchy and a bit slow, but if you like reading, this might be for you.

This game is a masterpiece. I played it on my friend's account for a while before purchasing it for myself, and it was money well spent. The gameplay itself is a bit of a drag at times, but the inclusion of fetch-mirrors makes the later game travel a lot less boring, and it's absolutely worth it for the visceral storytelling. A House of Many Doors builds a web of relatable stories about a range of characters with so much depth and complexity you start to care for them as if they were real people. It's immersive, and really captures that feeling of "We live in a hellhole and everything wants to kill us" without everything just being constantly drab and depressing. I cried when I reached the end of the game, in a good way. 10/10 please play this game it changed my life

It's my favourite game, ever. Storytelling, worldbuilding, everything is astounding- the travel can be a bit bothersome, but that's been fixed in the recent patch. Get it!
