Behind Closed Doors: A Developer's Tale could only evoke two distinct emotions within me: bored or aggravated. I tend to like meta "game about game development" conceits in principle. The issue here is each foundational pillar – gameplay, story, etc. – is so lacking that its dearth of “passable” qualities feel so meaningless. Upon concluding with an arbitrary last-minute binary choice, the realization will hit you: Polygonal Wolf didn't make a tale worth telling; even worse, it never feels like that was ever a goal.
