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.

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 a bit rough around the edges, but this is an amazing gem of interactive fiction. If you played Sunless Seas and/or Sunless Skies and want "more of that but different" -- a (different) incomprehensibly weird world full of strange places to explore and even weirder creatures to meet -- this game is exactly that. There are literally dozens, maybe over a hundred unique Weird Places to go visit! And in all those places are countless unimaginable experiences, from befriending a tribe of word-hunters to romancing ten million crows. I hesitate to directly compare them against each other, but at times I find A House of Many Doors actually has stronger writing than Failbetter's work, though that may simply be because it's a one-writer project, so the overall feeling is a bit more cohesive. Catherine Unger's art is also incredibly evocative and really adds to the already-wonderful writing. It's not perfect, and be prepared to encounter many bugs, a few design weirdnesses, and so forth. As a result, I'd say it might be a bit less accessible than Sunless Seas/Skies, so it's probably easier to wrap your head around if you've played those first.

So, know what you're getting into. The game is not particularly challenging since you can save regularly and just reload when you don't like a negative turnout, and that seems to be super important to a lot of people these days. I'm just trying to explore a sick narrative and go on wild adventures through a richly narrated videogame. I'm apparently like 14 hours in and having a blast, which I can't say about a ton of games these days. I've pissed off gods, governors, and every type of people you can imagine (One complaint.... I still have no idea what a carchair is. I wanna know about the people I'm screwing with. They take up more cargo space is all I know) Banged a vampire until she loved me Ran away from every fight so far except at a church
