How to play: Doors: Escape Stories

Choose the first story and an unlocked door. Read what is known about the room, then start exploring.
Select objects and mechanisms in the scene. Collect useful items, read observations and apply the facts to each puzzle.
Solve linked challenges involving cargo, water, light, rigging and navigation. Each uses different rules; undo a move or reset a puzzle to try another idea.
When all room mechanisms are ready, select the door in the scene. The passage opens before the result appears and the next room becomes available.

Controls

Mouse and touchscreen

Select objects, doors and mechanism controls. Found items appear in the inventory below the scene. Scroll longer lists and close-ups inside their panel.

Tips for your first game

Read the observation for the current mechanism: the necessary facts are in the game. Optional hints are written as riddles.
An object or fact from one challenge may be needed for the next. Locked stages unlock as you investigate the room.
Compare the artwork, rules and current mechanism state instead of guessing every combination. Undo and reset help test an idea.
