Make Sure It’s Closed is a short horror game developed by corpsepile. The entire experience revolves around closing a garage door at night, an everyday task that quickly becomes unnerving. With only a single button to press and limited movement, the player is forced to focus on the slow descent of the door while a shadowy figure appears in the darkness outside. The simplicity of the design heightens the feeling of vulnerability, turning a normal routine into a frightening scenario.

What makes the game stand out is how much tension it creates in under two minutes of play. Instead of complex mechanics, it relies on atmosphere, pacing, and the player’s imagination to build dread. Key elements that shape the experience include:

• A minimal control scheme that limits player agency
• A realistic, relatable setting that feels familiar
• A single terrifying encounter that escalates quickly
