Description

The Door Number 9 is a third-person stealth survival horror set in 1950s thrillers with pulp art style.

Leonard, a retired climber in a wheelchair, becomes trapped in a dark plot within the isolated building where he chose to spend his final days in peace. With the help of his neighbor, a deaf-mute girl, and his old climbing ropes they will craft a secret escape plan where exploration, resource management and action come together in a non-linear and day-based stealth survival horror game.

This project was funded by the 2023 and 2024 grants for the promotion of the video game, podcast, and other digital creation sectors from the Spanish Ministry of Culture, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

History

Leonard was one of the most famous climbers of the 1940s when his life took a drastic turn due to an accident, bringing him down from the mountains to a wheelchair. Seeking peace, he chose to move to a peaceful and isolated building on the outskirts. However, he soon discovers a dark secret hidden within, unintentionally becoming a witness to it.

Alongside his 9-year-old little deaf-mute neighbor, Alice, Leonard must craft an escape plan to save the remaining neighbors before it's too late. Utilizing his trusted old companion, his climbing rope, to navigate the partly ruined building and evade the relentless pursuers determined to silence him at any cost.

Features

  • Versatile rope system: climb, cut, or knot your ropes and adapt your environment to overcome the ruined building.
  • Make the building's neighbors allies or foes based on your decisions.
  • No manual save or load. The game is constantly saving your progress, so choose your decisions wisely.
  • Stamina/Oxygen system. Return to Leonard's safe apartment to recharge it.
