Closing Doors: A Brief Atmospheric Horror Experience
"Closing Doors" by collarpill is a first-person atmospheric horror game that offers players a suspenseful experience within a short completion time of around four minutes. Despite its limited movement mechanics, mainly revolving around elevator interaction and camera movement, this indie title manages to immerse players in a chilling atmosphere.
The game revolves around the protagonist riding an elevator, stopping on different floors to reveal eerie corridors inspired by the backrooms concept. While players are confined to the elevator without the ability to explore these corridors further, the increasing darkness and creepiness of each floor effectively build suspense and tension, leading up to a well-executed jumpscare. Although "Closing Doors" lacks traditional exploration elements common in horror games, its ominous ambiance successfully instills fear in players' hearts.
