Gates of Hades is a survival game set in a mysterious room, where the player remains in a single location and interacts with different characters by opening a door. The game offers a simple yet engaging experience, focusing entirely on the suspense of what lies behind the door.

Gameplay Mechanics:

  1. Static Atmosphere:

    • The entire game takes place in one dark and eerie room. The unchanging setting emphasizes the unsettling atmosphere and keeps the player focused on the events within the room.
  2. The Door and Characters:

    • Each time the door is opened, a random character appears. These characters might help, interact in unpredictable ways, or simply leave without saying anything. Deciding how to engage with them is up to the player.
  3. Item Interactions:

    • Occasionally, characters may leave behind items that the player can use. Carefully managing these items could help in dealing with future situations.

Development Status:

Gates of Hades is currently in its alpha stage, meaning the game is still in development and features a simpler structure. The static atmosphere and repetitive mechanics may feel limited to some players, but this is part of the early development process.

For now, the game provides a foundation for players to explore and experience the core concept.
