OPEN UP, MICHAEL!
Balance strange offerings on a door handle, remember its unsettling note sequences, and find out who Michael really is. A short first-person comedy-horror game about five rituals, readable puzzles, two endings, and one suspiciously well-balanced cheese wedge.

About This Game

The rules are simple:

1. Place the offering above the handle.

2. Do not stand where the door can see you.

3. Repeat the sequence until something on the other side listens.

What begins as a ridiculous prank changes the hallway with every ritual. Choose the correct offering, reconstruct a torn hymn, repeat the memory of the doors, and eventually reach room 13.

Michael has never opened the door.

Maybe you have been standing on the wrong side all along.
