Matenrou Project leader Uta released a demo for Gate to Die on May 25, offering roughly three hours of play. The game combines point-and-click adventure design inspired by the Famicom version of Shadowgate with survival crafting elements such as collecting wood and stone to make campfires and torches. Players are transported to a trap-filled mansion and must gather materials, craft tools, and explore while avoiding a range of death scenes.

The demo is available on Uta's itch.io page. Uta said the full version is planned for release within the year.
