Summary

An absorbing, compelling science fiction adventure!

The Good

The 'being there' factor is great if you are a fan of text based games, the writing is good in quality, the plot great, and, well, it just feel good 'till the end! And the VR puzzles rule!-) Plus, this game is freeware nowadays, something as great as this for free should not be passed up.

The Bad

Hmm.. well the musics aren't exactly from the top although they do fit, and the graphics are good but not excellent. But hey, this is a text based adventure game anyway!

The Bottom Line

Gateway is a brilliant game in the feel and the storyline alike. If you like the genre you really need to play this.
