Summary
Balance strange offerings on a door handle, remember its unsettling note sequences, and find out who Michael really is. A short first-person comedy-horror game about five rituals, readable puzzles, two endings, and one suspiciously well-balanced cheese wedge.
Description
About This Game
The rules are simple:
1. Place the offering above the handle.
2. Do not stand where the door can see you.
3. Repeat the sequence until something on the other side listens.
What begins as a ridiculous prank changes the hallway with every ritual. Choose the correct offering, reconstruct a torn hymn, repeat the memory of the doors, and eventually reach room 13.
Michael has never opened the door.
Maybe you have been standing on the wrong side all along.
