Trailer

Made for iPhone Duo

Your phone is the door.

The hinge of iPhone Duo is the hinge of the door to Room 9. There are no buttons during the night. Just the door, and what you hear behind it.

Folded: the cover screen shows only the gap under the door, and a pair of feet — **Fold it.**The door slams shut. All you see is the gap under it.

Partly open: the Widow at the crack of the door — **Open it a crack.**Peek into the hall. Something may be peeking back.

Fully open: the long hallway of the Wexley Hotel — **Open it all the way.**See the whole hallway. Everything in it can see you too.

No iPhone Duo? Keep It Shut plays on any iPhone: swipe right to open the door, swipe left to close it, and touch and hold anywhere to keep it shut.

The residents

Six residents. Six rules.

Each chapter brings a new resident of the Wexley, and each one has its own rule. Learn them, or join them.

The Widow

Walks the hall. When you hear a heartbeat, shut the door.

The Bellboy

Only moves when nobody is watching.

Housekeeping

Comes in when a door stays shut too long.

The Blind Guest

Hears the hinges, and your breathing.

The Manager

Three polite knocks. Don't answer.

???

The sixth has been listening to all of them.

The Wexley Hotel

Thirty nights in Room 9.

You wake up in Room 9 of the Wexley Hotel. You don't remember checking in. The door doesn't lock. Every night, a note slides under the door, signed only "E.", from the guest who stayed here before you.

Questions

How do I control the door?

On iPhone Duo, fold the phone to shut the door and open it to peek or look. On other iPhones, swipe right to open the door, swipe left to close it, and touch and hold to keep it shut. The controls are also shown before your first night, and again from the pause menu.

The hinge doesn't feel right on my Duo.

Open Settings (the gear on the title screen) and turn on Touch controls to play with swipe and hold instead.

I can't hear anything.

The game is built around sound. Check the ring/silent switch, the volume slider in the game's Settings, and that your headphones are connected before you start a night.

Does my progress carry over to my other devices?

Yes, if you are signed in to iCloud. Nights you have cleared and your best scores sync through your own iCloud account.

Where are the leaderboards and achievements?

In Game Center: open Settings (the gear on the title screen), then Leaderboards or Achievements. You need to be signed in to Game Center on your iPhone.

The flashing during jump scares bothers me.

Turn on Reduce flashing in Settings.
