Immerse yourself in psychological tension and choice
Who’s at the Door? by SKONEC Entertainment is a psychological horror experience for Windows that blends decision-making with environmental storytelling. Players assume the role of a patient struggling with memory loss and hallucinations, confined to a small home for eight days. Each day brings the recurring choice of opening the door or taking medication to confront visions. Exploration, observation, and collecting hidden doll pieces reveal a disturbing and layered narrative about trust, perception, and fear.
The gameplay centers on interpreting the world through sound and sight, with each knock at the door serving as a test of judgment. Players who observe carefully can separate reality from hallucination and uncover clues hidden in their surroundings. The tension builds through these small decisions, leading to multiple possible endings, including a secret “true” conclusion unlocked by finding all collectibles. The experience rewards curiosity and mindfulness rather than fast reactions or combat.
A story shaped by observation and reaction
Atmosphere enhanced by minimalist design
Sound plays a vital role in heightening suspense, with creaking floors, distorted whispers, and ambient noise amplifying uncertainty. The minimalist visual design favors psychological immersion over graphical complexity, making the home feel both familiar and alien. Official requirements list Windows 10, 4 GB RAM, and modest hardware, though accessibility options remain limited. The story unfolds in roughly one to two hours, encouraging replay to explore alternate outcomes within its confined, moody setting.
