Journey Beyond the Gate

Find out what lies beyond the gate. What kind of hero will you become?

Journey Beyond the Gate is a fantasy roguelite deckbuilder that combines strategic card combat with classic RPG character progression. Choose your race and class, develop your attributes, discover powerful card combinations, and equip your hero as you venture through a dangerous fantasy world.

Create Your Hero

Your adventure begins with a choice of race and class, each offering unique perks and strengths that influence your playstyle.

Experiment with different combinations, develop your character's attributes, and discover new ways to approach combat. Whether you favor devastating physical attacks, powerful magic, or strategies built around poisoning your enemies, your hero's strengths are yours to develop.

Build Your Deck. Master Your Strategy.

Engage in tactical, turn-based card combat where every action matters.

Build and improve your deck as you travel, combining attacks, defenses, spells, and status effects to create powerful synergies.

Burn your enemies, stack poison or bleed, freeze your opponents, or overwhelm them with raw strength. Discover combinations that turn seemingly simple cards into powerful strategies.

The right combination of cards can change the course of a battle.
