Behind Closed Doors: A Developer's Tale is a story of two halves. You open with a slow and monotonous day-to-day life that will confuse you and put you off. This then evolves and you experience some weird and whacky gameplay about a game within a game. It had the potential to be fantastic, but its simplicity undermines it from the off.
While I did find the overall gameplay to be quite a miss, I did enjoy the unusual concept of a game within a game meta, but it left me with a manic feeling of what I am doing in this game. While I really enjoy the concept of Behind Closed Doors: A Developer's Tale and the inclusion of various game styles, it felt as though this could have been executed smoother. Make baddies respawn, add more tracks, give me a little more to do, not just run in circles, and this game could have a lot of great potential. For the low price listed, give it a try and see if you agree or think I'm off my rocker!
Behind Closed Doors feels like a rushed first draft. A great deal of it needs tightening up, redrafting, and playtesting for it to feel worth the playtime.
