Play Gateway Online
You creep through tight corridors, poking at switches and dodging weird little enemies while the music makes everything feel bigger than it should. It’s Zelda if it got shrunk down and left in a closet to get slightly creepy.
Gateway on the Game Boy is one of those games you stumble upon and wonder how you never heard of it before. The first few minutes feel like stepping into a tiny, moody world—each screen scroll reveals something new, whether it’s a hidden switch, a weird little enemy, or a puzzle that makes you stop and think. It’s got that classic "wait, how do I get over there?" energy, like Zelda but with more cramped, eerie corridors.
The music nails it, too—those chiptunes somehow make a tiny black-and-green screen feel huge and mysterious. And the enemies? They’re just strange enough to stick with you, like these floating eyeballs that seem way too cheerful about trying to kill you. You’ll backtrack, hunt for keys, and occasionally get lost in the best possible way. If you’ve got a soft spot for Game Boy deep cuts, this one’s a no-brainer.
