Get to the Gate

About

Get to the Gate is a roguelike RPG where you guide Maria through a dungeon-filled island to reach a portal home. Developer Maximan blends survival and exploration as Maria’s fear of monsters directly impacts gameplay. When danger builds, her mana depletes, forcing her to flee for safety. Players navigate procedurally generated levels, seeking shortcuts to bypass undead enemies while managing limited resources. The game’s tension comes from balancing risk and progress, with each run shaped by new layouts and encounters. The standout mechanic ties emotional stakes to gameplay, fear isn’t just a story detail but a core system that alters strategy. Unlike traditional dungeon crawlers, your character’s anxiety creates urgency, pushing creative route-finding over brute force. With PC and Linux support, it offers a brisk, tense experience that leans into its indie roots. No grand battles here, just smart choices and a dash of horror to keep you moving toward that exit gate.

Storyline

Western fantasy world looks way too realistic to Maria. Seeing monsters causes her immense panic. Such a shame that she ended up in the world of the dead. Now the only way to return home is to get to the Gate to the world of the living, but she will have to go through an island of dungeons filled with the undead.
