About

A disturbing survival horror, inspired by escape room mechanics Inspired by masters of horror from video games, literature and cinema, Do Not Open is a tragic story about one man’s battle to retain sanity and fight to shut out the voices in his head. Under immense pressure in a terrifying and oppressive environment, Michael J. Goreng, a prestigious zoologist and epidemiologist is trapped within a warped version of his own house. His wife and daughter are in severe danger. Escape the manor whilst dealing with a mysterious paranormal threat, stalking you. The pressure is intense as a clock ticks down to zero. The clock stops. Hurry! Solve, Hide or Die! Old School Survival Horror Designed around the true survival horror values of vulnerability and fear –with mechanics such an emphasis on hiding instead of fighting- Procedurally designed, for replayability Each new game will have a different house layout, key objects will be in different locations, also puzzle codes and with over 2,193, 360 different combinations, each playthrough will be a complete experience from beginning to end, even the plot will be a puzzle in itself. Will you be able to tie up all the loose ends to uncover the terrible truth behind the Judith manor?

    It’s a shame, because the premise here is interesting, and the puzzles themselves are mostly clever and fun to solve. The entity is its downfall, an ill-conceived obstacle that’s relentless and a little bit broken. Rather than make Do Not Open scary, it makes it needlessly frustrating.

    Do Not Open è un ottimo horror game che punta tutto sulla risoluzione di puzzle game in stile escape-room con una storia molto interessante, un'ottima grafica e un buon sonoro. Le basi del titolo sono molto buone e gli enigmi stessi sono per lo più intelligenti, ben strutturati e divertenti da risolvere. L'entità che costantemente vi darà la caccia è il vero problema del gioco: un ostacolo mal concepito, implacabile e decisamente rotto.

    Skutočne som sa snažil nájsť na Do Not Open akékoľvek pozitíva, ale moje sklamania ich nespočetne prevyšujú. Drobné prostredia sú občas pekne nasvietené, ale sú repetitívne, dostupných miestností je málo a znovuhrateľnosť na úkor frustrujúcich puzzle tomu nijako nenapomáha. Hororový tag by som pri hre zamenil skôr za „mierne nepríjemná atmosféra”, ktorú hra skutočne nijako dobre nevyužíva.
