I wound up getting caught in suspense. Good job. The walking is so slow, it kind of encourages giving up when you reset though.
But I have to agree with the others saying the game is too frustrating. I don't know if there were clues about which door to pick other than the talking paintings, but the only clue I found and used was the one in the last room that listed all the doors by room number. I feel like more clues, or if there are some I haven't noticed, more obvious clues, would make the game a lot more fun.
I have to say though the talking paintings, the music, the lighting all worked really well together to create the atmosphere, and the idea itself is great.
"Ok, so I shouldn't trust my hallucinations so it MUSN'T be door 2! No, I was wrong. Ok, it is door 2. But he's saying door 2 again. He couldn't be right twice, can he? Nope, it was door 2."
"Jesus it was door 2 three times in a row!?"
"Ok, so that investigation guy said always take door 3, and he was right the first time. So I should go through door 3 despite the painting saying door 1. Nope I was wrong"
Then I gave up because I couldn't be bothered to walk down the hall for the tenth time, and I was using the sprint button!
I was expecting it to be a 'Detect the liar' puzzle or something, where you have 5 or so paintings and only one tells the truth. "Listen to me, painting 2 and 5 always lie" "I always tell the truth, it's door 2!" "Painting 1 always lies, it's door 3" etc.
