yk I love the concept of being a judge as the core of this short VN. It's super enjoyable and I actually read through all the text through my gameplay. Eventually, you'll discover such a tragic story from our one and only client indeed! (if yk what I mean). I know there's more to the story AFTER I got both possible endings for this game. I guess we'll just speculate what really happened inside our head luls, especially with the sledgehammer thing. Even though I gotta admit I had a few heart attacks with the mini jumpscares on the computer screen (I'm playing the game pass midnight ok) yea it actually caught me off guard but I still love it. OKAY ANYWAYS BUY THE GAME IT'S WORTH IT

Quite decent VN with an interesting concept! It's short (my playtime would've definitely been lesser if I didn't find the font difficult to read XD) yet doesn't feel rushed or incomplete due to the story's specific nature. I like the immersive surreal and uncanny atmosphere, plus the art and music are nice. The plot didn't really evoke any strong emotions in me, especially since I guessed a solid part of the reveal quite early on, however I still found it very pleasant to read and particularly enjoyed the clever connections and details, which can certainly induce some reflection!

Really great game! I loved the story and the way it was built up. You can kind of guess what will happen at the beginning, but it's still done really well. The only minor issue was that it sometimes didn't display who was talking properly (e.g. going from 'Temporary worker' to 'Girl' mid-sentence). As others have mentioned, the grammar and wording were a bit strange. As a non-native English speaker, I sometimes had to read a line two or three times to understand it, but it wasn't so bad that it was unintelligible. For around 2 euros, it's worth playing it.

“Outside the Door” is a game that, despite its short duration, captures you from the very first minutes. Its plot from the very first pages plunges you into a world full of moral dilemmas and unexpected situations in which the protagonist finds himself. In just a couple of hours you will have time to immerse yourself in a dark, but atmospheric story and experience a whole range of emotions. Graphics are beautiful and pleasant to the eye, here the emphasis is on the atmosphere and dialogs, which are really well worked out. If you have a free evening and you are looking for something unusual for yourself - this game is definitely worth your attention. However, it's worth mentioning that this is more of a kinetic novel, as your choices have almost no effect on anything.

!!SPOILERS!! EN: Without having played the game all the way through, I can assume that the same person comes to me. She probably has some kind of personality disorder. I also dare to assume that the dialogues reflect the realities of what is happening in the world now.(you know), maybe Im just trying to find a deeper meaning where there isnt one. If at first I sympathized with Hannah, then somewhere in the middle of the game it becomes clear that shes not all there.I played on, and as soon as the student guest left, I started to have doubts. Maybe Hanna is me. Maybe Im judging my own life decisions. To make my judgement fair, I was deprived of my memories. That theory makes sense. Or maybe my schizophrenia is getting worse. To sum up, after finishing the game, I realised that I had been right all along. The plot was easy to guess, but thats not a bad thing. At least it doesnt leave you with unanswered questions that will bug you. I liked the game, even if it wasnt amazing. Although this is a debut project, it is done well enough, there are tiny flaws with the text, but they are not fatal,for the end I just want to wish the author good luck with future projects. RU: Не доиграв в игру до конца, могу предположить, что ко мне приходит один и тот же человек. Скорее всего у нее какое-то расстройство личностного спектра. Так же посмею предположить, что диалоги являются аллегорией на то, что сейчас происходит в мире.(ну вы понимаете), хотя это могут быть лишь мои попытки увидеть глубинный смысл там, где его нет. Если по началу я сочувствовал Ханне, то где-то к середине игры становится понятно, у нее не все дома. Я играл дальше и уже после гостя студента, ко мне начали закрадываться сомнения, возможно Ханна и есть я. И я сужу собственные жизненные решения, а для того чтобы суд был не предвзят меня лишили воспоминаний. Эта теория имеет смысл. Ну либо это уже моя шиза прогрессирует. Подводя итоги, полностью пройдя игру, все мои теории оказались верны, сюжет был предсказуем, но это не плохо, он хотя бы не оставляет вопросов, на которые уже никогда не будет ответа. А они в свою очередь будут разъедать нутро читателя. Лично мне игра понравилась, не шедевр, но все еще хорошо. Хоть это и дебютный проект, он выполнен достаточно хорошо, есть мелкие косяки с текстом, но они не смертельны, хочу лишь пожелать автору удачи с дальнейшими проектами.
