About this game
GatePass is a 2D platformer game in which the player escapes from a 100-layer labyrinth and ventures through various stages in order to return home safely.
About Knot
The main character, Knot, is a young man of the dwarf race, 30 cm tall.
While napping at home, a wild slime invades and transforms into the door of his room, imprisoning him in a different space.
The goal of his journey is to understand the natural laws of the labyrinth and return home safely.
About World
The adventure takes place in five main stages, all with their own unique gimmicks that serve as axes.
As the stages progress, a variety of tricks and mechanisms are introduced to further explore the system.
There are a total of 100 levels in the labyrinth, and players must understand and operate each stage's system,
The player must understand the system of each stage, operate it, and use objects wisely.
Sometimes, reflexes and skill are the only way to get to the exit.
About the boss fight
Currently, Knot can be challenged with 3 HP by default, but every 5Death count will increase his initial life by 1.
It is possible to fight with Max 12, and we intend to make it possible for those who are not good at action games to complete the game.
Two types of endings
Exit Red, the low difficulty level, requires players to go through 50 levels to reach the ending.
Exit Green, which is completely clear, requires players to go through all the floors, and requires brains and clever platforming skills.
For a first-time player, we assume that it will take more than 2 hours to clear the 50th floor. It is assumed that it will take more than 10 hours to clear the floor completely.
Cautions when using a gamepad
*This game has been updated to support gamepad controls after its release on Steam.
However, if you find gamepad controls difficult, we recommend playing with a keyboard.
You can assign any keys you like in the key configurations, but we recommend assigning the cross keys only to left and right.
There are some stages in GatePass where you have to move the cross keys of the keyboard very hard and precisely.
You can have fun with the keyboard controls, but with a controller, the simultaneous operation of the up/down and left/right keys However, it may be too difficult to use the up/down and left/right keys at the same time with a controller.

Thanks for Tokyo Game Dungeon 9
Today, August 3rd, I exhibited at Tokyo Game Dungeon 9. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/0f6da1669181eb8b908bed413e4175c487cebe83.jpg I gave out dice shaped like the bullet hell from the boss battle in the game to everyone who tried it out. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/99783a16d3dcca7aa4906b210d776bbc333a18c3.jpg It was great to see so many people enjoying it. I met some people who had already played the full version 101%, and there were even some brave souls who tried the full version instead of the demo version. As the creator, it was a great experience to receive various opinions directly from the players. I also gave engraved dice as gifts to those who purchased the full version. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/32bfb6e97b949411277e42a21f5265e6ff2794d5.jpg I plan to exhibit at Tokyo Game Dungeon 10 in early November. I intend to use the remaining dice from this event for a giveaway at the next event. I look forward to meeting everyone, including those who have already played the game.Read full article on Community Announcements (Necoroneko)AnnouncementsOfficial
Added a tutorial on the dash function
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/d55ab3b728186aca5a201246261c1e45e02726ee.png Added a guide to the dash function in the tutorial. The dash function was included in the previous version, but I was considering whether to introduce it in the tutorial after watching play videos of actual players. This time, the operation method is described in both the production and demo versions. *Only the Windows version has been added; the Mac version will be updated together at a later date.Read full article on Community Announcements (Necoroneko)AnnouncementsOfficial
The dash function is implemented.
The dash function is implemented. By default, it is assigned to the keyboard Z key. On the ground only, pressing the left/right movement key and the Z key simultaneously will double the speed. However, dash is disabled on a conveyor in operation. You can also use the key configuration function to assign the key of your choice. If you have used the key configurator before, I recommend that you reset the configurator and reassign the keys if the behavior is not correct, as they may be covered by the default settings. Only the Windows version is implemented in the production and demo versions. The Mac version will be updated together at a later date.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/645ae5f14eed33fe9a69bbd702a20259dc16be26.jpgRead full article on Community Announcements (Necoroneko)AnnouncementsOfficial
Hidden clues have been placed in the stage.
If you use the camera function in an empty room, you may occasionally find hidden clues. This allows people who find puzzles too difficult to solve with ideas to reach the correct answer once they have tried their best to search for it. This hint is an example of a solution to a difficult stage, but I have made 10 stages mainly based on the stages that were difficult to solve by referring to the YouTube archives of various commentators. If a stage has more than two maps, a hint has been made on the same map for each map. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/19dd363fa23b40804ee13f23d7d9d06f67019130.png. In very rare cases, something other than hidden clues can be found.Read full article on Community Announcements (Necoroneko)AnnouncementsOfficial
Added hidden room.
GatePass ver 2.0.3 update adds a hidden room that makes the clear rate 101%. The room is difficult to find and the strategy procedure is difficult. Here's a hint: search every inch of the game in every way possible.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45223520/494c08b949b36a2533d75dc9062fea6737b19d00.png ※Only the Windows version has been updated; the Mac version will be updated together at a later date.Read full article on Community Announcements (Necoroneko)
