Our take on GateTail

Rather than relying on combat alone, GateTail mixes turn-based RPG play with puzzles, challenges, and minigames, including fishing. Its story also branches into 10+ endings, making player choices part of the structure rather than presenting a single fixed outcome.

What is GateTail?

GateTail is a comedic, story-focused turn-based RPG about a character searching a strange dimension for a lost friend and the purpose of her existence.

Choices affect the story, which has 10+ endings, plus a separate “Well ending. ” The adventure combines turn-based combat with challenges, puzzles, varied locations, minigames, and boss fights. The world includes more than 200 enemies and characters such as birds, humans with magical powers, dinosaurs, dragons, and glitchy trees. Some areas include horror elements that can be disabled. Minigames include fishing, and the game also features simulated gambling. Its locations include a journey through a game’s source code.
