The Door Factory gives its inspector two ways to be wrong. The official listing says approving a defective door has consequences, while reporting a safe door can also hurt performance. Suspicion is not advertised as a free answer.

The procedure is concrete: bring in a door, enter the place behind it, inspect the room and approve or report it. The developer describes misplaced objects, unusual presences and impossible situations as possible signs of trouble. Those categories establish what to look for without supplying an observed anomaly or a correct verdict for a particular room.

Imagine a room that is unfamiliar but internally consistent. The description does not say unfamiliarity alone is a defect. That distinction is why the false-report consequence matters: you need a reason to believe something is wrong, rather than a strategy of rejecting every door because the setting is unsettling.

Look closer if you enjoy observation followed by commitment. The question to take into a real inspection is which detail supports your decision—and whether the game makes that detail legible before it judges you.

Sources & context

Approval and false-report consequences are developer descriptions. No actual room, anomaly, penalty value or reliable identification method was tested.

One mechanic, the decision it creates, and a little dry humor.
