What i feel is that "they" are simply the player themselves, controlling whichever character the player decided to use and thus began prolonging the characters life and watching over them as some kind of experiment. The door itself in my opinion is simply bait by "them" to trick the characters into thinking that they will smite maxwell and free themselves, but to their dismay, Wilson and the others were set up into a perfect position by "they" to become a newer, fresher host to rule the world in, and since the characters don't seem to understand how to manipulate the shadows, they simply end up obeying in the end, this cycle continuing with the new host then baiting some other unfortunate soul into the world of dont starve, and then acting as the villian so "they" can then force them into the cycle.

So in the end, instead of calling the masters of Maxwell "they"

We should call them, "us"
