The developers claim that Knock-Knock's design was sent to them by an outsider, and that the production followed his outline.[1][3][4] Its lead designer within Ice-Pick was Nikolay Dybowski.[5] The team based the game's design on the concepts of "obscurity and inevitability", which the company's Vasily Kashnikov called "the two greatest fears". Dybowski remarked that Ice-Pick had to remake "the game twice from scratch" before it managed to strike the right tone.[6]

Knock-Knock was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign.[7] The game's computer version received "mixed or average reviews" from critics, according to the review aggregation site Metacritic.[8]
