!["i want to experience a game like i experience a painting, all at once. gameplay doesn't have to exist in four dimensions. trapped behind walls, behind time, behind gates, behind locked doors. gameplay could be free

thecatamites famously said a game is some combination of skeleton, red key, score thing, and *magic door*.
the thing that's magic about the door is that you can't open it with the red key. you don't need the red key for anything. it's just a key. sometimes a key is just a key.
the magic door opens on its own. like magic. it's an automatic door. when you approach a door in a game it should open for you. now that would really be magic.
if a door doesn't open automatically, if it's not magic, then it doesn't belong in your game."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6anaxnkrxl7qltjonctnkq4t/bafkreidzfe6axoym3k5vukssnuks5gn77kgli4hyfi25k7kd5feaw4u2ku)
