The Things Behind the Wall is a first person, non-combat game not unlike Myst (Ubisoft, 2005). You and your little brother have been playing a game of hide and seek in the enormous, restored 1800's mansion your family is on holiday at. After a few minutes and alternating seeker and hider you hear your brother squeal in excitement. You finish counting down to zero and yell "Ready or not! Here I come!", though no matter how you search, you can't find him anywhere. You realise that you've lost him. Rather than going to your parents and telling them that you lost your brother and risk getting scolded or having them panic, you decide to set off to the area you were last together: an extended corridor with extravagant red and white wallpaper and gaudy picture frames with old photos inside line the wall. You open the first door on your left and you are greeted by an open world of lush green, vibrant trees and warm sunlight. You see a human sized rabbit who smiles and beckons you over.

In The Things Behind the Doors it is your duty to explore the many lands behind the doors down this magical hallway to find your little brother. As you make contact with strange and wonderful animals, the decisions you make in conversations will lead to you making friendships with them. If they like you enough they will offer hints, advice and even come to your aid if you come perilously close to danger.

Enjoy a game with rich story, engaging dialogue, strange, but friendly animals, stunning scenery, open world landscapes and invigorating hints to close the distance between yourself and your lost brother.
