Gateworlds is a fantasy colony sim about exploring a wild frontier through mystical portals. Manage your village and lead expeditions to explore other worlds, while defending your villagers from the many threats that abound throughout the strange and wonderful Gateworlds.

Lead your villagers

Each villager is an individual with their own skills, traits, relationships, and desires.

• If you can keep them all happy, loyal, and injury-free, the group will thrive. That won't be easy, however: the Gateworlds are unforgiving and unpredictable.

Explore new worlds

Travel through mystical gates to discover vibrant and dangerous lands.

• Explore mountains and deserts, floodplains and mangroves... but keep an eye on the time, as the gate won't stay open forever. If a portal closes before all your villagers have returned, you'll face a heart-wrenching choice: which group to follow, and which to abandon to their fate. Will you reunite with them later? Or will something else find them first?

Manage your settlement

Build your base, assign orders, and define schedules.

• Life on the frontier requires planning and resilience. Construct sleeping quarters, workstations, and defensive walls for survival, while adding comforts to maintain morale. Grow crops, hunt game, and process resources to craft and maintain equipment. Always be prepared for when the next gate opens.

Face hostile conditions and dangerous creatures

Fight terrible monsters and claim the treasures they guard.

• Under your guidance, settlers will endure bitter cold and blistering heat, manage natural disasters, and defend themselves from fearsome predators empowered by ancient magic. Just as your settlers can travel through the gate, some of these creatures may decide to come the other way...

Shape your own adventure

Guide your settlement to write a unique story across the strange frontier of the Gateworlds.

• Will you advance carefully, or plunge headlong into the unknown? Will you band together with other settlers, keep your distance, or plunder their settlements? Will you follow bloodthirsty Balatoc, god of blood? Tolerant Levia? Flexible Ydrig? Will you sacrifice everything to appease the Void, or spurn the gods and forge your own path?
