Dec. 2024

“Outside the Door” is a game that, despite its short duration, captures you from the very first minutes. Its plot from the very first pages plunges you into a world full of moral dilemmas and unexpected situations in which the protagonist finds himself. In just a couple of hours you will have time to immerse yourself in a dark, but atmospheric story and experience a whole range of emotions. Graphics are beautiful and pleasant to the eye, here the emphasis is on the atmosphere and dialogs, which are really well worked out. If you have a free evening and you are looking for something unusual for yourself - this game is definitely worth your attention. However, it's worth mentioning that this is more of a kinetic novel, as your choices have almost no effect on anything.

!!SPOILERS!! EN: Without having played the game all the way through, I can assume that the same person comes to me. She probably has some kind of personality disorder. I also dare to assume that the dialogues reflect the realities of what is happening in the world now.(you know), maybe Im just trying to find a deeper meaning where there isnt one. If at first I sympathized with Hannah, then somewhere in the middle of the game it becomes clear that shes not all there.I played on, and as soon as the student guest left, I started to have doubts. Maybe Hanna is me. Maybe Im judging my own life decisions. To make my judgement fair, I was deprived of my memories. That theory makes sense. Or maybe my schizophrenia is getting worse. To sum up, after finishing the game, I realised that I had been right all along. The plot was easy to guess, but thats not a bad thing. At least it doesnt leave you with unanswered questions that will bug you. I liked the game, even if it wasnt amazing. Although this is a debut project, it is done well enough, there are tiny flaws with the text, but they are not fatal,for the end I just want to wish the author good luck with future projects. RU: Не доиграв в игру до конца, могу предположить, что ко мне приходит один и тот же человек. Скорее всего у нее какое-то расстройство личностного спектра. Так же посмею предположить, что диалоги являются аллегорией на то, что сейчас происходит в мире.(ну вы понимаете), хотя это могут быть лишь мои попытки увидеть глубинный смысл там, где его нет. Если по началу я сочувствовал Ханне, то где-то к середине игры становится понятно, у нее не все дома. Я играл дальше и уже после гостя студента, ко мне начали закрадываться сомнения, возможно Ханна и есть я. И я сужу собственные жизненные решения, а для того чтобы суд был не предвзят меня лишили воспоминаний. Эта теория имеет смысл. Ну либо это уже моя шиза прогрессирует. Подводя итоги, полностью пройдя игру, все мои теории оказались верны, сюжет был предсказуем, но это не плохо, он хотя бы не оставляет вопросов, на которые уже никогда не будет ответа. А они в свою очередь будут разъедать нутро читателя. Лично мне игра понравилась, не шедевр, но все еще хорошо. Хоть это и дебютный проект, он выполнен достаточно хорошо, есть мелкие косяки с текстом, но они не смертельны, хочу лишь пожелать автору удачи с дальнейшими проектами.

Really great game! I really liked the story and the build up. You can kinda get an idea of what will happen at the beginning but it is still lovely done. The only minor stuff that was irritating was, that sometimes it won't properly display who is talking right now (going from "Temporary worker" to "Girl" while mid sentence). Like most people who wrote here, the grammar and wording were kinda weird. I sometimes had to read a line 2-3 times as a non English native speaker to understand it, but nothing too big to make it unintelligible. For around 2 euros, it's worth playing it.

Great game, the grammar seems a bit weird probably because of translation, but i really did enjoy the end part when all the pieces connect to each other. The jump scare were great maybe because i was so focus on reading and try understand the story but it always make me jump. Love the experience.

April 2024

It's an interesting read, definitely leans into being more an interactive novel than a game since many of the dialogue choices are very clearly on-rails with the outcomes. There are also minor typos/strange word choices throughout which I assume are due to translation. Story specific feedback about ending with spoilers: I was a bit confused with the ending, I am not sure if I filled something out wrong and there is multiple endings, but obviously the interviewed character is the same person throughout, I think it's implying you are Hannah as well, but who is the radio person representing? Is this the "this was all a dream" trope without an answer?
