Are there more stories like this?

[meowstash321]

Can anyone recommend anything, either books or other games, similar in story and atmosphere to The Last Door? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

The game reminded me a lot of the writing and general atmosphere of the Gabriel Knight series (there are 3 games and 2 books)

Also, Montague's Mount: although it's not a very good game it's very similar in tone

[andresacram]

Gabriel Knight is more farsical, more pulp, I think (only played first two). It's absolutely not a bad thing, they're terrific games, but the atmosphere isn't quite the same.

[MadBadger]

Any of the stories by HP Lovecraft, and "The King in Yellow" by Robert W Chambers.

[BurningHeron]

First of all, check out some original short stories by Poe and Lovecraft if you haven't before: their stuff is old enough that it's all out in the public domain now. The Call of Cthulhu must come first. Then check out Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and The Facts in the Case of M. Vandemar; and Lovecraft's Pickman's Model, The Music of Erich Zahn, and From Beyond.

Second, and continuing with that idea, the best horror I've ever read are short stories. Check out Nightmare Magazine's website for a bunch of great free stories. Once you find a writer you like, check to see if they have any collections or novels.

(Second-and-a-half, check out Emily Carroll's comics, like His Face All Red. She draws with a storybook art style, and her stories swing between unhappy fairy tales and straight-up horror. You can't mistake her work for anyone else's.)

Third, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter might be closest to what you're looking for in a game that I've played, though that one's less scary and more... spooky? It's hard to explain the difference.

Fourthally, here's a couple of games that you might want to look at? I can't say for sure they're exactly what you want though.
Knock-Knock
The Music Machine
Neverending Nightmares
Oxenfree
Pathologic
Sylvio
White Night

If you are ok with very old games, Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice are close in tone (though different settings)

edit: I just remembered the countdown trilogy from Ben Yathzee crosshaws, they are one man works and all free if I'm not mistaken, but definetely worth going through.

Too scary for me, someone have my spare key:

The spirit of this story cames fromEdgar Allan Poe and H.P.Lovecraft, you should read thier books, the real epic storys

[shadowrah]

Just to add something here, I've watched recently the first season of True Detective. It was inspired in the King in Yellow mythos, and the cosmic horror genre in general.

Related to the Cthulhu mythos, see the game Dark Corners of the Earth. It's a bit old, but the mechanics works very well with the atmosphere (basically, as you play, you go mad). This game is based in the tabletop RPG, with the same name and same madness-mechanics.

[Bell]

uncanny valley is a similar game (only really for the graphics) but its still a creepy game, if you like last door definitely check out uncanny valley :)

[PAL]

I'll second Shadow of the Comet, Prisoner of Ice and Dark Corners of the Earth, and I'd add that the Gabriel Knight games are well worth playing even if they are more traditional horror pulp.

"Veil of darkness" (1993) is the game your looking for! Great story and nearly the same atmosphere like "The last door"

With dosbox you can even play it for free.
