Life's Gate
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Andolt, the creator of Life's Gate — a visual novel partly inspired by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
This is my first major visual novel project, focused on story, mystery, romance, and choices that will become more important as the game develops.
Plot
Life’s Gate follows a young man whose normal life begins to fracture when he discovers a strange power connected to life, death, and the people closest to him.
What begins as a cold warning in his chest soon becomes something he can no longer dismiss — a sign that something is wrong before anyone else can see it. At first, he tries to explain it away. Once the people he loves are caught in the middle of it, ignoring the truth is no longer an option.
But power never comes for free.
Every choice leaves a mark. Every answer raises new questions. And as pieces of a buried truth begin to surface, he is drawn into a mystery involving Writers, Painters, the Origins, and the Gates between Life... Death... and what waits beyond them.
To protect the people he loves, he must uncover the truth behind his power and decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice before there is nothing left to give.

Is this a VN or AVN?
0.1 doesn’t have any NSFW scenes.
Starting from 0.2, there will
Oh I see thank bro
Can you have a direct download link or something other than Mega?
Yeah, I can. Which cloud service would you prefer? Gofile? Pixeldrain? Anything else? I thought Mega was the most common one, so I only uploaded it there.
I don't really like mega because it has a download speed limit that can't be bypassed by FDM. Can't speak for others though. Gofile's and Pixeldrain's CAN be bypassed, so personally I prefer them
Could you clarify how the romance system works?
Is the harem route a separate path, or can players also pursue fully developed exclusive relationships with a single love interest from start to finish?
Hey, thanks for the question! Yes, you’ll be able to choose one love interest and build an exclusive relationship with her from start to finish. The other girls will still have their own scenes, but you can reject them or avoid building a romantic relationship with them.
Congrats on the release!
Thanks 🤗
