Hidden Door

Happy Halloweek! Did you know you can step into any Hidden Door world and IMMEDIATELY be HORRIFIED? Here's what storyline you should play, based on your fandom. First up: THE CULT.

Try Ultimate Sacrifice in outer space. That's, like, 40% of the Alien franchise, and anyone who says the Alien(s) aren't perfect horror films is a LIAR and a FRAUD.

No, the software engineer is not endangered. Yes, it IS good to always be empowering the people around you. Here's how Chris Wallace, our self-declared code-quality wonk, turns the "collaboration" dials up to 11.

Hidden Door can make *anything* happen. Like a global food festival focused on pizza and also maybe subterfuge. But if "drama! at the international pizza contest" doesn't whet your appetite, why not remix things?

Step into a cyberpunk dystopia where your options are thin-crust, deep dish or ENCRYPTED GOVERNMENT SECRETS. Maybe you'll make it a dark academia world, and get your major in Toppings with a minor in Breadsticks. Or...

The Narrator is here to help! Want your story to speed up? Want to make it WAY MORE DRAMATIC? Want to spend more time in a specific location? Ask the Narrator! When you chat with your friendly DM, they can alter the pace of the game, your relationships, and what challenges you face.

Uninterested in your rival's romantic advances? Have the narrator rewrite the script so you can pursue a different paramour. Want the treasure hunt to be more complex? The Narrator can add obstacles.

Imagine your favorite Tudor-era political drama, set in the distant future. Now, reimagine it with vampires. Or an evil megacorporation in place of the monarchy. Or...

Ready to create your world, instantly? Come to Hidden Door with an idea. Leave with a whole new world. Then remix it! Here's one world, four ways: the original idea, a gothic romance, magical realism, and a space western. When you're ready, visit hiddendoor.co to make your ideas real.

Oh, PS: every remix you generate on the homepage is instantly playable. :) Have fun!

One time at a 2015 open mic in Phoenix, Arizona, a guy went up and used his full five minutes to make balloon animals. He never said a word. He started with a dog, it took him maybe 40 seconds, and handed it to someone in the audience. Then he just made things as people shouted out suggestions.

Our new modifier card will answer none of these questions, but it WILL give you the opportunity to explore your creative passions on a fictional stage, where you don't need to shut down hecklers or strain to be heard over in-house music that the bar staff "forgot to turn off."

It felt like everyone was in a holding pattern as they transitioned from "day" to "night." So the first several acts got a lukewarm response, despite being, in my memory, pretty good. Then this SILENT MAN made a balloon alligator. Everyone reacted like they were seeing The Beatles at Shea Stadium.
