It's not. It's very much in the vein of mobile puzzle game series The Room and The House of Da Vinci, the latter of which basically shifts The Room's mechanics wholesale to the old master's house. They work by giving you closed spaces to solve puzzles in, usually by tinkering with increasingly elaborate mechanisms embedded in baroque objects of some sort, a la the room escape genre. The Room literally started with a room, but it got more and more involved as the series went on, taking you through, well, many rooms.
Doors: Paradox gives you a sort of bite-sized version of that, with small levels divided into themes and less of a continuous set of puzzles feeding into an over-arching goal and more 'here's a small gizmo-based level for you to fuck around in and figure out for a bunch of minutes' instead of multi-layered goals stretching across the entire game. It's a decent mobile time waster when you're on a flight or travelling, same as The Room and THoDV.

In my mind I actually had the idea of the line from '90s puzzle games to Flash puzzle games to mobile puzzle games -- and now there's this sub-genre of Steam games shoehorning mobile games into the PC space. So I think I would have gotten there if I had thought through it further. :sweat:

Doki Doki is worth playing if you haven't already, but you need to go in blind.
