DOORS but kinda cheap and shorter

DOORS but kinda cheap and shorter is a fan-made parody of the original DOORS by LSPLASH, developed by THouse Studios - a game its own creator describes as "more like DOORS but noob lol." Despite the self-deprecating framing, the experience has accumulated over 101 million visits and 92K favorites, proving there is genuine demand for an accessible, lower-stakes take on the horror hotel formula. The game has been actively maintained since launching in September 2022, last updated April 2026.

The core loop follows the DOORS template - walk through numbered rooms in a horror hotel corridor, avoid entities that spawn to eliminate you, and push toward higher door numbers to survive:

• 🗺️ Shorter run - the door count is reduced compared to the original DOORS (which goes to 100+), making each session faster and more approachable
• ⚔️ Entity encounters - monsters spawn as you progress through rooms, each requiring different responses to survive
• 💎 68 badges across 28 places - an unexpectedly deep achievement slate covering completion milestones, entity encounters, and multi-section progression
• 🏠 50 player servers - supports larger groups than the original DOORS, making co-op runs with friends more accessible
• 🎭 Free private servers - implied by the description's recommendation to run solo sessions for cleaner attempts

The 28 sub-places suggest a multi-chapter or multi-floor structure, with each section tracked by the extensive 68-badge achievement system. This is substantially more content depth than the "cheap" branding suggests.

DOORS but kinda cheap and shorter sits firmly in the casual end of the DOORS fan game ecosystem - an honest, fun-spirited parody for players who want the horror hotel experience without the high difficulty of the original.
