Ungate

Ungate is a first-person survival horror game about Jason, a young man who enters a mysterious cave to find his missing friends. Locals call it the Gate of Hell, a place said to connect to another dimension. You explore its dark, hostile world, evade creatures and uncover clues to the cave’s history as you try to escape.

The Gate of Hell

In the past, scientists discovered what they believed to be the source of the world’s energy inside a cave in the Black Mountains. A government military research team went in to investigate and found another world in the darkness. The cave was vast, with its own sky and a lake of blood that burned the skin. After crossing the lake, the team found a mysterious cabin on the far shore, as though someone lived there. The government built a military base to study the discovery, but within 66 days everyone involved in the project disappeared along with the cave, except Dr. John Ellis.

Ellis had been outside the cave, trying to reach the research team, and could no longer find its entrance. He concluded that the Black Mountains mark a point where other worlds collide. People from West Village, at the foot of the mountains, told him the cave was a gate of hell: even those who escape will eventually lose their souls. According to the legend, the cave appears once every 66 years for 66 days, and no one trapped inside returns. Several days later, Ellis died in strange circumstances, and nobody went back to the cave for 66 years.

In the present, Jason and his friends are tourists in West Village when they hear the legend. Despite the locals’ warnings and Jason’s objections, his friends go to the cave to test the story. After researching the legend, Jason learns that the cave will disappear in one day. The locals are afraid to search for his friends and the authorities will not come, so Jason enters the cave to bring them back.

Evade the creatures

There is no combat. You rely on stealth and your ability to avoid the creatures, using a headlamp and supplies found along the way to outrun them and escape. Some creatures are sensitive to light, while others react to sound, so you must use tactics to avoid being noticed or detected.

Explore the darkness

You strategize to light your way and find your bearings in the dark while exploring and facing challenges. As Jason ventures deeper, terrifying visions and relentless enemies stalk him, and he must piece together clues to uncover the cave’s sinister truth and survive.
