doors is the one that still gets me even after a hundred runs. its just a hallway of numbered doors but the sound design is straight up evil. that light flicker and low rumble before rush hits sends me diving into a closet every single time, and seek turning the hall into a full sprint chase with those arms swiping at you is peak. what makes it a 5 for me is the scares are EARNED, every entity has a tell you learn to read, its tension not cheap pop outs. the figure at the library, holding your breath while it hunts you by sound, is the best single room on the whole platform. and the second floor keeps it fresh so it never goes stale. atmosphere for days. im hiding in a closet forever.

sound design is great, wont argue. but its rng deciding your run, not skill. ambush reversing isnt hard, its a coinflip. overrated as a challenge
funny enough doors is one of the more accessible horrors for me precisely because its ears-first. you survive on the audio cue, the rattle, the hum, not on spotting a colored glow in a dark hallway. games that let sound carry the tension are a gift to colorblind players.
a hundred runs deep and Rush still makes me yelp, you are so right about that sound design. nothing beats hearing the rumble and watching the whole squad dive for the same closet at once. see you in the hotel
I agree with the sound design, it's really bad. Hundreds of runs are still excited every time they hear Rush's voice from a distance. That's a sign that the game is indeed a champion. Thank you for the review, it's fun to read!

Bro even has played many times even DOORS still makes the heart beat, his sound design is indeed crazy evil haha. The sound of Rush coming just one body has been ignored. It's the best game of the year, respect!
