    Shoots for scares, but elicits yawns.

    Saibot offers an interesting first person adventure here, but Doorways is very short. The story of each psycho killer is dissolved and the puzzles are no problem. But above all, despite a fairly "nice" sordid atmosphere, we cannot say that we have been frightened while playing.

    It doesn’t rock and it doesn’t shock. The biggest scare of Doorways is imagining that there will be more episodes like this one.

    The main protagonist is a cop/detective who is tasked to find 4 criminals, all while trying to avoid being killed by various traps, ghosts, and animated statues. The setting is creepy, dark, and beautifully done. Levels vary from being outside with walls of spikes all around you to the interior of old, dark castles.

    The game tries to scare you, but doesn’t do a great job doing so, but there are some pretty scary moments, like being chased by a huge statue when you can only see 5 feet in front of you, or when you’re running through the darkness hoping your torch doesn’t die out leaving you vulnerable to the ghosts that dwell there. The fear from this game comes more from psychological things instead of physical objects or beings, like seeing a man being tortured with a device intended to rip the flesh from your bones. All that and the grainy visual effects still are not enough to make this game reach the level of horror they were probably attempting to achieve.

    There are notes and small statues you can search around for, while the statues unlock achievements, the notes are basically the only story there is in this game, and it could have been done better.

    Pros:
    Beautiful environments.
    Some fun moments.
    Voicing by Sam A. Mowry.

    Cons:
    Controls are bad.
    Very short (60-90 minutes).
    Boring for most of the game.
    Tries to be scary, but fails most of the time.

    Score: 5/10

It got atmospheric and scary music, a good gameplay and it scares you to the bones. Especially the second chapter is so well made that you have to play it. I've already gone through the first two chapters so many times and I really look forward to the release of the next chapters.The start was great and I know the game will become even better.… Full Review »

It is a pleasant unpleasant game. Eh... It's very scary. It makes me not want to play it in a good way. It's so scary that I just don't want to launch the game again. It gave me the good horror feeling Amnesia: The Dark Decent did, and I love it! If you're looking for awesome horror games, this or Outlast are the games you are looking for! They will both scare you. But do not pick up Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, that games was the dissappointment of the year. All in all, super scary game, can't wait to play again and the quit and out.… Full Review »
