Can Stacking Simulator Sets September Steam Release for Physics Tower Building
The game turns the simple childhood act of stacking objects into a physics-based simulator whose tension comes from instability that compounds as the tower rises, with no timer to force the pace.

SECOND DOOR will release The Can Stacking Simulator on Steam in September 2026. The first-person physics game has players grab, place, and stack empty cans of various shapes and sizes to build the tallest tower possible. There is no time limit, and slight tilts are fine as long as the tower does not collapse. Reaching certain heights levels the player up and unlocks new cans, scaffolds, and items. Wishlist registration is open.
SECOND DOOR describes the game as a return to the childhood game of stacking blocks, empty boxes, and whatever is at hand to see how high it can go. Players grab a can, place it, and stack it. Neatness is not required: a slight tilt is fine as long as the tower does not fall. Difficulty builds as the tower grows, since a slightly off can or tilted scaffold turns into major instability higher up, and one extra can can bring the whole tower down.
Cans are not the only pieces. Scaffolding objects can be placed partway up the tower, and items found during play help reach higher. Reaching a certain height triggers a level-up that unlocks new cans, scaffolds, and items. There is no time limit, so players stack at their own pace. The game supports eight languages including Japanese and English, plus Steam achievements and family sharing.
