Behind Closed Doors: A Developer's Tale

Behind Closed Doors: A Developer's Tale follows Ethan, who works at an unprofessional indie company and is trying to support his pregnant wife. The game takes about 50 minutes and has two sections. In the first, you follow Ethan through a normal week of waking up, going to work, coming home and going to bed. After a few days, an unusual late-night phone call sends him to another dimension, where he must complete trials to return to the real world and his family.

Ethan's week

At work, you build an indie game with your coworkers, playtest it and prepare it for release. You talk with colleagues, respond to annoying customer emails and go home to spend time with your wife. You also code a game and play a platformer you developed.

Trials across dimensions

After being pulled through a portal, you explore multiple dimensions and fight unique enemies using different abilities and weapons. The trials include multiple areas to explore and conquer, boss fights, hidden objects and memories to collect, and multiple types of enemies to defeat.
