The Old Gate is a decision-driven document inspection RPG set in a dystopian fantasy world. As a humble gatekeeper, you guard the one entrance to Crossroads City โ the ancient gate that connects kingdoms, planets, and dimensions.
Refugees, merchants, spies, and fugitives arrive from every corner of the world. Your job is to decide who deserves to pass. And every decision leaves a mark.

A PAPERS, PLEASE-STYLE DOCUMENT THRILLER
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Every visitor hands you a document. You must carefully check the name, race, age, seal, and travel permit. Spot forged papers, tampered dates, and missing seals. But remember โ behind every document is a human story, and rejecting one can change a life.

DETAILED 3D OFFICE AND ATMOSPHERE
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
This is not a flat inspection screen. You sit in a claustrophobic stone office lit by flickering torches and candlelight, with the crackling hum of an old CCTV on the wall and muffled music from a distant bar. Weary faces stare through iron bars โ and every decision weighs on you.

ENDLESS VARIETY OF DAYS AND CHARACTERS
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
