The Gateway: Border Inspection Bureau (Pre-Alpha)
A downloadable game for Windows
THE GATEWAY: BORDER INSPECTION BUREAU
Inspect strangers. Stamp their fate. Then try to sleep.
You’re the new officer at the only legal crossing between two unfriendly nations. All you get is a flickering terminal, a growing queue, and a rulebook that updates just when you think you understand it.
What you’ll do
- Drag papers around a cluttered 2D desk
- Spot tiny mistakes under time pressure
- Choose between obeying orders and helping people
- Collect citations when you mess up (you will)
Stamp fast. Stamp smart. The border doesn’t close just because you’re overwhelmed.
