Subway Door Death

A potentially fatal lapse in subway safety. If you leave the doors between cars slightly open after passing through, then it will create a miniature vortex that will suck anyone stood near the door out into the tunnel.

very near the end of one's life. (Often an exaggeration.) I was so ill that I was at death's door for three days. The family dog was at death's door for three days, and then it finally died.

In Darkest Dungeon, Death's Door is a mechanic activated when a hero’s health hits zero, putting them in a critical state where any further damage could kill them instantly. Heroes at Death's Door suffer debuffs like reduced accuracy and damage but may survive, allowing time to heal or retreat.

Example 1: A hero barely survives on Death's Door, giving the player one last chance to apply a bandage.

Example 2: During a boss fight, a hero reaches Death's Door but is healed just in time to avoid a fatal hit.
