Our take on Gate of Souls
Players who need clear, conventional objectives may bounce when the night-guard job introduces strange safety rules and darkness begins concealing the environment's mysteries. The key-and-locked-room progression creates another possible stopping point for anyone unwilling to search rooms for the next access item.
What is Gate of Souls?
Gate of Souls is a first-person horror game about Chris, a newly hired night security guard whose unexpectedly fast hiring leads to an unsettling shift.
The job takes place in a dark building, with the guard investigating rooms and following unusual safety rules. Progress involves searching for keys and using them to access locked areas.
