UNGATE Ungate is a narrative-driven, first-person survival horror game where you play as Jason, a young man searching for his missing friends inside a mysterious cave said to connect to another dimension—known by locals as the Gate of Hell. What begins as a rescue mission quickly spirals into a descent through a nightmarish realm—an ecosystem teeming with twisted creatures and ancient evil. Trapped in the darkness, Jason must evade deadly horrors and piece together chilling clues to uncover the cave’s sinister truth and escape. As he ventures deeper, he’s stalked by terrifying visions and relentless enemies determined to consume his soul. Will Jason survive this living nightmare—or become one of its eternal servants? The final terror awaits. KEY FEATURES THERE'S NO COMBAT Instead of engaging in combat, you must rely on your skills to avoid the creatures and survive.

STORY IN THE PAST , a group of scientists discovered that the center of the world’s energy is in the cave of the Black Mountains. The government decided to send a military research team to investigate but instead of getting to the core, they found another world hiding in the dark. The cave was strangely big and it had its own sky and a lake of blood that was burning your skin. The event was unusual and after they decided to navigate on the lake, they found a mysterious cabin at the other side of the shore, like someone was actually living there. Everything was so bizarre that the government decided to build a military base to study that strange occurence. Within 66 days, all the people involved in the project disappeared along with that cave except one. Dr. John Ellis was outside the cave at that time trying to reach the research team but he couldn’t find the entrance anymore. Following the disappearance he found that the black mountains represents the point where other worlds collide. Also, the locals of the West Village located at the base of the mountains told Dr. John Ellis that the cave found inside the Black Mountains is a gate of hell. Even if you escape from that cave your soul will be taken sooner or later. According to the legend, it appears once every 66 years for 66 days and everyone that gets trapped in, is not getting back. After several days, the doctor died in strange circumstances and nobody went to that cave again for 66 years. IN THE PRESENT , as tourists in the West Village, you and your friends found about the legend of the gate of hell. Despite the warnings of the locals and your disapproval, your friends decided to go visit that place without you. The last time you saw them, they were heading to the cave to find out if the rumors are true. After extensive research about the legend, you discovered that there is only 1 day left until the cave will disappear. Desperate, you tried to get someone’s help but the locals are afraid of searching for your friends and the authorities are not coming. Knowing the danger that awaits them, you decided to go get them back before it's too late.
