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.
