The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the intriguing plot and good graphics, others feel that it lacks depth and can be hindered by poor translation, which affects the overall experience. Additionally, the reliance on trial and error in certain rooms detracts from player investment in the narrative. Overall, the storyline is seen as a positive element, but it could benefit from further development.
“Seven Doors is an extremely interesting indie project that is a horror quest. The presence of a plot is quite good, and the graphics are very impressive for an indie project. The puzzles are interesting, and despite some short plot elements, the pros and cons of the project are worthy of getting acquainted with. In general, I recommend purchasing it.”
“The story and the setting are well-crafted, making the experience of the game engaging. However, the translation of the languages is not as well taken care of, which can complicate the puzzles and detract from the overall enjoyment.”
“It could use some story to make you more invested in the situation, and rooms that rely on trial and error are not rewarding to solve.”
“I played it in Spanish, and the fact that the translation of the languages is not as well taken care of as the story and the setting makes the experience of the game less enjoyable. This can complicate the puzzles, which in English have a more literary component, while the literal translation in Spanish takes away the sense of fantasy that permeates each room.”

The music in the game has been praised for its excellent soundtrack that enhances immersion and complements the gameplay experience. Reviewers appreciated the use of piano melodies that evoke a sense of restlessness, while the strategic absence of music in certain areas heightens focus and tension. Overall, the soundtrack significantly contributes to the game's atmosphere and emotional depth.
“I liked its music - the soundtrack fits perfectly with this game and creates the feeling of being completely immersed in it.”
“Good graphics, great soundtrack.”
“A feeling of restlessness has accompanied me throughout the tests, accompanied by the musical thread of a piano that undoubtedly helped me to go through each of the doors, forgetting that I was sitting on a chair and in front of a screen.”
“One detail that I really liked was the lack of music in some rooms, where there is only you with the sound of your steps. That made it more immersive and also allows you to concentrate to face the different tests that are presented.”

The game's atmosphere is praised for its artistic design and ability to evoke a sense of oppression, creating an immersive experience for players. However, some reviewers suggest that enhancing the lore and puzzle mechanics could further elevate the overall ambiance.
“It does have a great atmosphere, and with more thought put into lore and puzzles that are more based on combining items or using cool items, something closer to the Rusty Lake series, it could be quite good.”
“I can assure you that from the first-person perspective with which we faced this title, I felt overwhelmed by the artistic section of some of the scenarios, and I felt the oppressive atmosphere that they tried to transmit to the player.”
