About this game

Story


In 'Behind Closed Doors', you play as Ethan, who has an office job at an unprofessional indie company, trying to support his pregnant wife. Behind Closed Doors plays for about 50 minutes, and is split into two sections. In the first half, it is just a normal week for Ethan; waking up, going to work, coming home, go to bed and repeat. But after a few days, something strange happens. Ethan gets an unusual phone call in the middle of the night, and is somehow teleported to another dimension. Ethan must then complete a few trials to get back to the real world.
