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 — 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
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
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 — behind every document is a human story, and rejecting one can change a life.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DETAILED 3D OFFICE AND ATMOSPHERE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
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 — and every decision weighs on you.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ENDLESS VARIETY OF DAYS AND CHARACTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Each new day brings new rules and new challenges. One night elves are banned. Another night a wave of forged documents floods the gate. With 30+ unique characters, 8 personality types, and 12+ random events, every shift is different. Balance your reputation and your money — and see how long you can survive.

YOUR STORY, YOUR CHOICES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bribes, secret orders, and moral dilemmas fill this world. Every choice has a consequence. You can help a refugee and ease your conscience, or take a bribe and secure your future. But be careful — every decision shapes your reputation and your story. How far will you go before you're fired?
