Pick a door. You’ll probably be fine. Mind the Door is a survival roguelike about doors, death, and poor judgment. Inspect the doors, search your surroundings, and decide how much you trust what you find. The Corridor has opinions about your decisions. Most are unhelpful. Free to play. No forced ads. Optional rewarded ads, if you’re open to bribery. THE DOORS HAVE TELLS Look closely before you choose. Clues can help you judge the risk, and a well-timed Hint, Peek or Shield can make a difference. Luck still gets a vote. CURIOSITY HAS CONSEQUENCES Explore atmospheric 3D rooms, investigate the furniture, and discover what the Corridor is hiding. A perfectly ordinary room can turn out to be anything but. So can a perfectly ordinary door. HELP WITH TERMS ATTACHED Solve puzzles to earn tools. Pick up optional jobs from the Assignment Phone, or visit a Requisition Desk for supplies and Contracts. The Corridor is happy to help. That should concern you. YOUR BAD DECISIONS HAVE A RECORD Unlock lasting upgrades and collect Keepsakes to shape future runs. Earn badges and achievements as you play, and collect Incident Files for the unfortunate endings you discover. Your next of kin will appreciate the organization. ONE MORE DOOR Take on Daily runs and Challenges, climb the leaderboards, or try to beat your own best run. Pause and resume when real life insists. The next door could be your best decision yet. You’ve said that before.
