"Doors exist to isolate.
You are the key, or rather, the one who can open the door."
Freud Gate is an interactive story game about the story of dream and redemption.
Freud Gate, the "door of heart" in the game. Players will play as a spiritual mentor and help the depressed girl to find a breakthrough. The game is divided into two parts: the real world and the imaginary world. It aims at making the player realize that only by truly understanding the depressed people can the player help them.
The main gameplay is puzzle-solving and exploration. Each level in the game will have different puzzles, and only after solving the puzzle correctly can you enter the next level. Player's bad decisions may put the game into bad endings.
"I had a lot of bad dreams. Dreams are easy to forget, and I don't remember the ones I had. So I thought the moment of wakefulness would go away, but it didn't. It was still there, deep down.
I don't know how to describe it, and can't see what it is, but only... an indescribable emotion. Like falling from the high, failed to struggle. But feeling released, and suddenly sinking to the bottom of the sea, suffocating.
It's like a nightmare. I don't know what to do. Either opening the wound and feeling the pain, or watching the pain heal. I don't want to do this anymore... Please, somebody, help me."
