“To the Gates of Truth” is a card-based, rogue-like ttrpg for 2 to 4 players. But what does it all mean?
Card-based
The game relies on different kind of cards that represents weapons, powers or even enemies. The game takes place on 8 different Celestial Islands inhabited by 8 Entities, and the cards reflect those environments.
Rogue-like
Your characters are Seekers, looking for ways to reach the Gates of Truth, and they have found it. They must pass the test, the Ascension, to reach the Gates. But each time they try it, the path is different.
TTRPG
TTRPG stand for table-top role-playing game. After creating your characters, you will play through the Ascension. But, of course, there will be complications: Doubts, Non-sense, Incoherence, Mysteries or even Paradoxes will embody themselves and try to keep you away.
You will have to confront them by making strategic decisions. For the fights, dive into a tactical-lite system (lumen-hack, see the rules). And as you will make your way through the Ascension, you will get to know more about the Entities, the Universe, You and finally, the Truth.
2 to 4 players
The game is meant to be played by 1-3 players that will embody the characters. The last player is the gamemaster: they will set the narratives, interpret the Entities and apply the rules of the game.
To the Gates of Truth
Reach the Gates is a step but opening them is another. The characters will have to protect themselves and the Keys of Sense at all costs. And then, maybe, they will be worth of the Truth.
Well… if the Guardians accept it.
