If you love haunted houses
Death’s Door, a fundamentals-focused Legend of Zelda-like released to critical acclaim in 2021, makes you wander through the most incredible, unsettling houses in pursuit of souls. It’s your boring day job—soul collecting—until one day, your routine is broken, and you’re forced to interrogate life after death.
“Many of Death’s Door’s individual elements are borrowed from The Legend of Zelda,” Kotaku’s Ethan Gach writes in his review, “but unlike so many other indie homages it imports, it only takes the pieces that fit together perfectly. Then, it improves on them in subtle ways, and re-arranges them into a unique new picture.” Like an exemplary haunted house, Death’s Door makes something you’ve seen before feel immediate and shocking.
