Face Your Dark Soul

The White Door game is related to Rusty lake's series, You are going to play Robert, Laura's ex-boyfriend who we've seen in Cube Escape game. You follow his story as he is staying at The White Door Institution, which he was admitted to after Laura's incident. You will help him to remember who he is and what he used to do before ending up here. In the process, you'll learn about the trauma he experienced and who is behind all of this. The story is quite emotional and has multiple endings.

When I started the game, I was not sure about the split screen and how white is everything, when some colors started to show up, I understood why they made it like that, quite clever and I enjoyed it. The puzzles are simple, this game focuses on the story more than the puzzles, and it plays differently than the previous games.

The soundtracks are nice, and the character's voice acting is good as well. The achievements, however, are quite difficult to get, most of them are missable and add to the story, you may find yourself as confused as the rest of the series, but the puzzle pieces will come by, and you'll understand the plot little by little, those games need to be replied more than once to understand it fully.

Pros:
+Interesting story related to the previous games in the series.
+Good soundtracks.
+Good artwork, it will be colorful later, don't be turned off by the black and white at the beginning.
+Good puzzles.
+Steam achievements.

Cons:
-The story could be confusing; to understand it, you must play the series' other games.
-No hinting system. Sometimes, you get stuck and don't know what to do next.

Compared to the other series, this one is quite emotional, I liked it and it is a good addition to the story to understand the characters more. Highly recommended if you enjoy Rusty Lake series.
