I picked up a Rusty Lake bundle on Steam after having stumbled across Samsara Room. I'd found Samsara Room equal parts intriguing and unsettling, so was curious about the other Rusty Lake games.

The White Door was the first I've played in the bundle. It was... fine. It's neat and compact, and it's playable with a spare couple of hours. The puzzles are inconsistent and it often felt like I was controlling the character when I shouldn't really have needed to, for example, why am I dragging a toothbrush back and forth? Or lifting a dumbbell up and down? Does this add anything? Really? In a longer game, I would have found this infuriating. Here, with a short game, it's just irritating.

The story is interesting but didn't make nearly so great an impression on me as Samsara Room. If I'd played this one first, I doubt if I'd have been prompted to play any of the others. That said, I'm still planning to try the Cube games, so I guess it hasn't completely put me off.

This is too many words about this game already. Conclusion: Skip it.
