A downloadable game


You take control of a soul that was denied access to the afterlife. Not accepting this as your fate, to be endlessly stuck in the void of darkness, you decide to try and gain access anyway.  A being blocks your path, one that calls itself "The Gatekeeper". Will you fight it for the chance of an afterlife or will you succumb to its power?

In Before the Gate, you take on a single bullet hell boss with multiple different original attacks, in a simple minimalist setting to gain access to the afterlife.

Heaven mode features all new MUCH more difficult attacks, updated sound effects courtesy of Micah_DS, and a new ending! Can you withstand The Gatekeeper's true power?

(Note: You must beat the game once to unlock heaven mode)
