I regret paying for this. It sounded interesting and I was willing to give it a chance despite mixed reviews, but after having played it for just ten minutes, it's far too bewildering to persist with. It's "Bewildering: The Game".
I do not understand negativity in other reviews. This is very low budget title and developer never promise anything big. For what it is, it is good. Anyone who demands more is just being unreasonable.
There are a slew of caveats for this game, but there's something about it which just grabs me.
It's essentially a walking simulator/exploration game. It's set in a world where agents in robot bodies run Ministries which control aspects of reality (e.g., Sound, Colour, Light). And administration agencies like the Ministry of Order police them. You are Bixby of the Dept. of Correction Pending; in exchange for your efforts to cut through the Ministry of Order's bureaucracy, you are not only the last agent in your department, but trapped in the Lounge District. The Lounge District is a labyrinth of glossy lobbies, bars, suites, malls, parks, and bus lots -- all abandoned by the Ministry of Order agents when you interfered. It's up to you (and your trusty radio operator Stiggs) to troubleshoot all the weird happenings that go on.
The game is divided into 'cases', each with a description of the gameplay (e.g., navigation, security evasion) and a time estimate. You are directed from place to place by placard or clues, and the plot moves a step further with each stop. Lore is scattered through the district by radio, info booth, and talk show, but the case storytelling is entirely dialogue. Your time will be spent hovering through the Lounge District (at a good clip) getting lost while you zone out to the pretty great Vangelis-style soundtrack.
The game is best approached as meditative and atmospheric. Because there IS a real atmosphere here. The Lounge District is a Neo Art Deco delight, with no two rooms alike and many shrouded in shadow or odd corners. The world-building is vague and the District is deserted, but in every room there's a reminder of the backstory (including portraits of the ex-Ministry of Order dictator), so paranoia builds. Later cases go a little farther afield, exploring new areas. As for the cases themselves, the most relative word is 'surreal' (they have names like, 'High Frequency Corn Syrup' and 'Dogs With Shoes.') There is an insistence on analogue, throwback touches, a la Bioshock. You get the feeling all business is conducted by pneumatic tube.
Now for the caveats -- and there are several. Repetition is one; almost all the gameplay is navigation-based (although I guarantee you will NEVER learn your way around -- if getting lost is the point, then the game definitely delivers on that). Some people will find the emptiness of the world off-putting, although some crumbs of backstory explain why the District is abandoned. Some of the clues are unclear, so you will end up wandering around; this is especially difficult when you forget what exactly you're looking for, as the game has no quest information to refer back to. You can skip around the case list, but you cannot save mid-case. The biggest problem, though, is the dialogue -- especially unfortunately, as the plot is built on it. It's cleanly recorded but the actors are often muffled, so you have to crank up the sound to hear. More, it's very dense, and employs a lot of in-house future slang. You MUST pay strict attention. To their credit, the dev responded to comments on this and attempted to install subtitles, but the engine wouldn't allow it. The dev also came back quickly on bug reports.
The whole game is clearly a labour of love by a single developer. The graphics, the programming, the music, the writing -- all one person. And that really shines through, as the game is undoubtedly a cohesive whole, and infused with the enthusiasm of creation. If you loved Myst's atmosphere but didn't like the puzzles preventing you from wandering around, or if you love dark ambient music and want a surreal way to jam along with it, give it a go!
Kay.
So this game is a pure walking sim, no denial about that. The missions lack ergonomy, for example you can't look back to your objective, it's displayed once by tier of progression and then have fun trying to remembering it.
The world is gorgeous, it's really good in his NoirPunk style, even if some textures and lighting reflections are kinda weird.
The gameplay itself is pretty horrible, nothing much aside basic and limited interaction and the absence of subtitle options combined with the low sound quality of the voicelines really punish the experience.
Story-wise, i'm not very interested in the characters, the world is really weird and contains more than meets the eye but i'm discouraged since mission 3 that i can't even recall the goal, because of the cons i mentioned above.
Buy it with a warning, it's a great museum but a bad game.
Crashes afetr a minute in game
the ui is not fun to use at all
Horrid clusterfuck of bad design styles topped by the worst use of typography ever seen.
User interface is a myth.
A very ambitious but sadly far from finished game. It's visually stunning. I can see what the developer was trying to do. However the game is dull and lifeless in its current form.
Door to Door. Hmm... this game is hard to rate. I really wanted to like it, and I do in some aspects, but what's most disappointing is the fact that this game could have been something really special. Unfortunately, it falls short of being a great game.
Pros:
The graphics are beautiful
For the most part, you must find and follow clues
A rich and extremely detailed world
Very large and diverse areas to explore
Cons:
The cases are very silly (not funny silly, stupid silly)
The game takes your clues and solves the case for you (too much hand holding)
Most, if not all of the jokes fall flat
There is no notebook that you can reference
Cons that the developer is up front about:
There are no subtitles (some of the voices are hard to understand)
There are no other people (bots) in this city
Because the game was made with an older version of unreal engine, it made it impossible to fix or modify the game to accommodate the ladder, however, since the developer said this in the update section, I wouldn't dock them for it. The only reason I'm mentioning it here is someone may insist on subtitles or a populous.
For new players, the city is very difficult to navigate, but there is "Charizmo" . However, not all of the locations are listed so you may want to familiarize yourself with the city before you solve the cases. There is no time limit so you can take all the time you want.
Despite it's shortcomings, I do like this game... somewhat. Is it worth $6.99 (at the time of this review)? Well, no. I would wait for a sale if you want to give this game a shot.
This trailer caught my eye for what seemed like fun narrative and a beautiful environment. What I got was a beautiful oversized level and aimless wandering with no clues on how to find where I should be going or even a way to record objectives.
Door To Door is an atmospheric detective story that artfully combines metropolitan architecture and surreal soundscapes with a unique blend of comedy and suspense-horror all in one stunning Sci-Fi labyrinth...
The Lounge District is a magnificent achievement in open world game design and a must-have for independent RPG fans.

The environment is beautiful. I did feel like it should just come to life though. As if this large metropolis should be bursting with life and energy. Especially in the lounge area where the bar is. Seems as if something is missing in that aspect. This game is very emersive, the overall feel and flow combined music really sets you into a state of relaxation mixed with a bit of fear. Just because you do not know what can happen next.
