In one sentence
Keep It Shut is a horror game where your iPhone Duo is the door: fold it to slam the door shut, open it a crack to peek, and open it all the way to see what walks the hall.
About the game
You wake up in Room 9 of the Wexley Hotel. You don't remember checking in. The door doesn't lock, and something walks the hall until 6 AM.
On iPhone Duo, the hinge is the only controller. Folded, the door is shut and you're safe, but you can't hold your breath forever. Open it a little and you peek through the crack. Open it all the way and you can see the whole hallway, and whatever is out there can see you.
Over thirty nights, the residents of the Wexley come out one by one, each with its own rule. Every night a note slides under your door, written by the guest who stayed in Room 9 before you. There is no text during the night: only the door, and what you hear behind it.
Why iPhone Duo
Most apps treat the fold as a bigger screen. Keep It Shut treats it as a physical action. The game reads the hinge angle in a few wide steps, so it follows how people naturally hold the phone: folded, a little open, all the way open. When folded, the cover screen shows only the gap under the door. On any other iPhone, the same door is played with swipe and hold.
