Dooria’s Style and Gameplay

Dooria is a puzzle indie game with an experimental approach both to puzzles and visual components. You control a lady in a red coat, trying to help her find the door that will leave to the next level. There are hints on how to do that, but you might need a little time to figure out all the rules.
