The Steam page for 'Gate to Die' went live on June 27, published by Secret Society Matenrou Plan. The game is a point-and-click adventure with crafting elements, set in a dark mansion where the protagonist has nothing to use as a light source. Players must craft items and facilities-light sources, weapons, armor, food, beds, workbenches, furnaces-to explore and survive. The courtyard allows players to set up crafting equipment and furniture, gradually improving livability. Exploration uses six commands and items, which can also be applied to the player character. Murderous traps and strange monsters appear, and the creator has said the game respects 'Shadowgate', the 1989 adventure title. Death poems and the Grim Reaper on the game over screen are included. The game is scheduled to be released for free.
