About

“Between the infinite worlds was infinite nothing. A void, a darkness between realities. But nothing is as crowded as is nothing. The House built itself in reaction to its own lack of existence.” A House of Many Doors is an indie RPG written and coded by Harry Tuffs, with art by Catherine Unger and music by Zach Beever. In A House of Many Doors you are an explorer, poet and spy, traversing and mapping the House – a vast parasite dimension that steals things and people from other worlds. Exploring in a train that scuttles on mechanical legs, you will discover bizarre civilizations, befriend your crew, write procedurally-generated poetry, and cling to life and sanity.
