Dooria Reviews

A real head scratcher but enjoyable nonetheless

A puzzle that get me puzzled. But not in a good way. I'm not sure what I was expecting. Maybe some cut scenes in between the levels. Maybe something that helps me get in the flow. I've went through some levels and it didn't feel good about it. The art, music and the atmosphere feels good but is missing something. And that something is not behind that door.

It's a beautiful looking game, the puzzles are very difficult, it would be nice to know how many levels there are too. It gets incredibly frustrated as you can't undo moves, so i'm having to write everything down to keep track. If you like puzzles with frustrating difficulty, this game is for you!

Extremely boring. 7 doors in a line (or more in a vertical grid,) no tutorial (lazy coding,) no objectives, move from door to door at a turtle pace, until eventually (and if you're unlucky it will take an obscenely long time) something new happens that lets you discover 1 rule of the current puzzle... Usually, by that time, your are softlocked, so you have to slowly move to the Reset door and restart from scratch. Said Reset door, like everything else in the UI, has to be discovered as well. as nothing is straightforward, no input uses a standard gamepad key or shortcut, nothing is smooth, fast, or even intuitive. Past the utter lack of energy, past the absence of hook, the main flaw is the lack of an Undo key. In super-slow, long, trial-and-error puzzles that softlock by design. Complete heresy. Unless there is an Undo key somewhere, a hidden one that I didn't find, since nothing is streamlined. I like to spend my precious time actively solving puzzles, not passively waiting for slow animations, transitions, and resets. The game would have been 100 times more involving without a protagonist, fully mouse-controlled, with simple, direct clicks on doors and UI buttons. As it stands, I could take no more than a few puzzles before leaving with a resounding yawn.

This is a surprisingly good and gorgeous logic puzzler, shame it got buried

Maybe my favorite puzzle game i've ever played. Absolutely wonderful, quaint experience with a soundtrack that is stunning and gorgeous all the way through! The mechanics are just complex enough to never lose you but to still give a challenge, and to not overdo the player. I'd recommend this to any puzzle game fans, and the more time you spend with the game to discover it, the better it rewards you :) Honestly criminal how cheap this game is right now, It's worth much more. <3

I beautiful slow-paced puzzle game; good for a rainy day and a hot cup of tea. This game isn't fast paced and is kind of cryptic, but has a lovely atmosphere.

If you want to get your ass handed to you by a gentle sweet game with calming music and the meanest puzzles I've seen in a while, by all means try this game out. This really itched a part of my lizard brain I that I had been missing from other puzzle games. Downsides are: 1) It can be frustrating and tricky to figure out all of the rules at first (due to some differing door varieties and etc) and 2) it's not easy to figure out the "plot" of what all doors to open and how close you are to being finished.... but overall definitely persevere if you're a puzzle junkie like myself.

This is a great game for someone who has some time on their hands and likes to figure things out. Each section of the game has its own rules, which provides for a good deal of variety. It has a pleasant atmosphere throughout and is contemplative as opposed to action-packed. A lot of bang for the buck at $16.

I'd classify Dooria as a hardcore puzzle game. Despite it's charming and chill aesthetics the core of the game is about solving and exploring ever changing puzzles with minimal guidance and tutorialization. I love the game for the art, and that's why I come back to it, but you must love pure puzzle solving to enjoy the game. The game ramps up in difficulty very fast.[hr][/hr][b]What this game is:[/b][list] [*]Beautifully hand painted and realized [*]Slow paced with fantastic atmosphere [*]Mysterious and difficult[/list][b]What this game isn't:[/b][list] [*]Tutorial heavy [*]Forgiving (can't undo moves)[/list]
