Hidden Door
@hiddendoor.co
Where roleplay meets fan fiction. An immersive game set in the worlds of your favorite books, movies, and shows.
The best thing to see onstage in Vegas is either Barry Manilow at the Westgate, or the #DICEawards. Honestly it’s kinda a toss up. (Pics from @hmason.bsky.social who chose Clair Obscur and ARC Raiders over Copacabana and Mandy…THIS TIME)

ICYMI and need some weekend reading, revisit M.A.S.H. and your most treasured Sims memories in Rourke's post on our blog!
In case you missed it, I wrote a blog post to introduce people to the concept of procedural narrative!
Today on Hidden Door's not-so-hidden blog, we talk about procedural narrative + procedural generation (or procgen if you're COOL). You've probably seen procgen before, whether you know it or not. But where?! Secrets revealed, procedures explained:

If you're looking at a screen right now, might we suggest looking at that screen from within a pillow fort, while you play Hidden Door? It's pretty cozy.

QUESTION: Readers, how slow do you need a "slow burn" to be? Do you need 200 pages of your MCs avoiding eye contact before they admit they MAY have a SINGLE feeling? No kissing til the sequel? Is there a mathematical equation??? please advise

"Have you written anything featuring them?" YES.
Yes, in fact, because it is impossible to play our Sherlock Holmes adventure (the Mystery of the Blue Carbuncle!) without interacting with this MISCHIEVOUS GOOSE. A LOT.
