I love this developer so much. I need more experimental arthouse games in my life where I have to guess the rules.

This game plays greatly with my personal feelings and fears, so that's why I prolly enjoyed it this much.

On the one hand, Knock-Knock is a bit buggy and confusing project, where the gameplay gets boring rather fast to make the player drop it.

On the other hand, this game has some real unusual atmosphere and attractivness, which may hold you till the very end, despite the mentioned boring gameplay.

Guess you need to be in some kind of special mood to enjoy this game fully. I dunno.

Interesting but VERY janky indie horror game with a lot of weird bugs that mess up the progression. It's REALLY hard and you can cheese it sometimes when it bugs but I think it's the devs first project(?) and for that I think it's okay.
It's really hard too.

I didn’t drop it because it was bad, I just got softlocked and couldn't progress further.

Fun, but a lot of the more subtle mechanics need the Googling of a guide to figure out what all of it means. It's kind of "follow-the-steps-and-see-where-it-gets-you" unless you do that.

Fun mechanics that keep you on your toes, although you can easily cheese this by bobbing on the ladders.

According to a Steam forum page I got locked into the "Bad" ending, which is basically a softlock of an endless loop.

"Oh, too bad! You didn't do X, and Y, and Z. Now, instead of giving you an actual ending, you get to relive this one night over and over again, but if you want to try again you actually need to replay the entire game from the very beginning"

Choke on it.


Probably one of those games that makes you intuitively get screamers every time you see a new monster. Of the big disadvantages, the randomness is too wild, I was too lucky and I beat the game the first time, thanks to moments that were literally repeated several times randomly. If you are a schizophrenia lover and afraid of knocking, the game is for you.

Наверно одна из тех игр, которая заставляет на интуитивном уровне получать скримеры каждый раз , когда видишь нового монстра. Из больших минусов, слишком дикий рандом, мне слишком повезло и я прошел игру с первого раза, благодаря моментам которые несколько раз повторились буквально рандомно. Если вы любитель шизофрении и боитесь стука, игра для вас.

Another highly creative game by Ice Pick Lodge, in Knock-Knock you explore the dreams of a lonely man who can't stop waking up from nightmares during the last hour before sunrise, during these dreams you must survive a game of hide-and-seek whose rules you have forgotten.
I don't know if Knock-Knock is conventionally entertaining, but I found the concept very original and interesting.
