“Chill puzzle game. Some duplication of puzzles, but for someone who doesn't want a serious puzzle game, and just wants to relax, thumbs up. Cool graphics as well, with some cool puzzle animations.”

“Easy.. easy game. Great fun for beginners. Relaxing passtime.”
“Puzzles felt smart, never cheap. Gameplay is brisk and rewarding. Controls are simple intuitive.”
“Lovely puzzle/room escape game. Each door that needs to be opened is a seperate puzzle, making it easy to dip into for a few minutes, and while some puzzles are a little tricky, they aren't stupidly obscure like some…”

“I wouldn't go as far as to call Doors *bad*, but it's a bit mediocre all around, and there are so many other games just like this that do it as well or better. It's still a moreish casual puzzle game, and some of the…”

— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Not too bad of a time waster. Listen to podcasts and relax with very easy puzzles. Pick up this piece, place piece over here, grab new piece, occasionally play a mini game you've played a million times, get new piece, etc.”
