Overview

• Hidden Door debuted on August 13 as a free-to-play early-access platform featuring Pride and Prejudice, The Call of Cthulhu and The Wizard of Oz alongside Pressman Film’s licensed property The Crow.
• Co-founders Hilary Mason and Matt Brandwein have built a creator collaboration model that shares revenue with authors and rights holders instead of training AI on their works.
• Gameplay blends an AI Narrator with behind-the-scenes dice rolls and collectible cards to guide choose-your-own-adventure stories within established fictional worlds.
• Early reviewer feedback praises Hidden Door’s focused co-creative premise but flags slow load times, occasional text glitches and a design that can feel overly restrictive.
• The company says it will roll out new titles from 831 Stories, Alan Dean Foster and Ramez Naam plus remixing and sharing features in the coming months.
