Hello everyone!
I'm really happy to share with the Amiga community a playable demo of my game called "The Gate", it's around 1.5 hours of gaming if the player checks everything!
Quote:
The game is set in a dystopian future not too far from our own. The player takes on the role of a private detective named Kal Debris, the owner of an agency struggling due to debt. One day, he receives a job offer from a doctor at a famous research institute to investigate the disappearance of her friend and colleague.
The game is heavily inspired by "Mission Impossible" and "Project Firestart," but with my own ideas, gameplay mechanics, and an engaging story.
You can enjoy the demo with your real Amiga or using an emulator, it should work fine with every Amiga that can handle EHB mode and is equipped with some fast memory.
An user has reported to have played the demo on his expanded A500+ @7 MHz without any issue, but I cannot guarantee that this speed is enough for some more complex levels that are in the late game.
The free public post is on Patreon with the download, as well as with some more details about the current development state.
Please have the time to read the post and the included readme.txt file to better enjoy the game demo, I explain how you have to expect, the controls, how the saves work, and many other useful information.
Let me know if there are problems, bugs, errors, typos, etc... so I can fix them. It would be great if you could tell me what actual hardware you tested the game on.
2D platformers/run&jump style games were very common on the Amiga but most lacked a more adventure like approach with solving riddles. I hope you have some success with it.

Testing on A600GS. i get as far as Kal saying I absolutely need to check my emails. I cannot move him. I also get....Using a gun in my office is a nonsense...
Pips NYT doesn’t rely on language or trivia; it’s pure logic and spatial reasoning. Each level feels fresh and rewarding to solve, and that little rush you get when all the pips align perfectly is genuinely satisfying.

Hey there! Thank you all for the nice comments! Here are some replies:
@OneTimer1 The game is not finished! The core engine and the game on paper are completed :D I'm still working on the map, I think I'll need 2-3 month more.
@cap I don't hav ethe chance to test it on a A600GS, I don't know if you can configure your machine... you should try to emulate an A1200/A600 with some Fast memory and leave the stock 68020 @14 MHz.
@plechaim Not at this point but if you send me a PM with your email i can send you the archive.
@pavlor Thank you! :D
