The Door Factory, announced June 6 by developer David Gallardo and publisher HeadArrow, casts the player as an inspector in a factory that manufactures doors leading to unknown spaces. Each door opens onto a room the player must examine for safety. If the room appears normal, the player approves the door's production; if something seems off, they must report it. The game warns that approving a defective door can have serious consequences, but reporting too many safe doors may also lower the player's evaluation. The horror comes from subtle details-out-of-place objects, eerie presences, impossible situations-hidden in otherwise ordinary-looking rooms. The Door Factory is planned for a 2026 release on PC via Steam and does not currently support Japanese.
