Fearless: 2021
We return once more to Perpetuum Penitentiary and the torturous story of our Paula. After accepting responsibility for the vicious murder of her son, Lincoln, Paula now seeks atonement for past sins. Even after months of intense labor, strengthening her body and mind, Paula has repeatedly failed in appealing to the Prison’s sinister Warden for freedom. It’s not enough. It’s never enough.
Her work must continue.
At Perpetuum, a new circle of hell has taken root. Courtesy of Vixi Labs, and by the Warden’s decree, all Prison treatment facilities will now be powered by revolutionary Vixi-technology. Operated by vile and sadistic engineers, their unorthodox methods for treating evils of humanity have hit new levels of depravity. They are enjoying every minute.
Will you join Paula in her fight for redemption? Or will you succumb to the madness? Will you cry Mercy or will you emerge from Perpetuum changed and “FEARLESS”?

Summary of “Your Overall Rating” reviews from visitors like you
Gnarliest haunt I've ever been to - in a good way
I’ve attended The 17th Door for multiple years, watching as they build on the story of their main character Paula, and keep one-upping themselves on intensity. At times, it’s a bit much – unpleasant shocks, getting drenched, etc – but it’s ALWAYS memorable. Nothing they do will actually harm you, though in the moment it is very uncomfortable. Build quality, immersion, special effects and acting is all top-notch. If you have the stomach for a little discomfort beyond typical jump scares, I’d highly recommend giving 17th Door a go!
