The game

Gate of the Dead is about a group of survivors who make a stand at an old depot by the river. Mara brings them in at dusk, with the dark coming. You're the Mayor: you build the camp, put people on the wall at night, and send squads down the road for what the camp needs. Over twenty chapters the camp grows from a campfire into a town, and the trouble at the gate grows with it.

We wanted a game you could play properly in short visits: a night on the wall when you have five minutes, a few builds and a mission when you have two. It's free, it plays in the browser on a phone or a computer, and the only ads are ones you choose to watch for a reward. There's no blood; hits are dust and sparks.
