Disclaimer: I've only completed the Digital area and the right half of the Analog area. Also I'm writing this when I'm really tired. This game has a beautiful aesthetic and fun ideas, but the puzzle design can be very obscure and/or cheesable. (Picking up and placing down a powered wire connector has weird effects; some puzzles can be solved while leaving entire sections unpowered.) Latch gates really need more introduction/explanation for beginners. There's also QoL issues such as: - Having to click twice to plug into stuff when clicking once should be enough for both the positioning and activating. - An inconvenient process for downloading bit strings to your tool. Perhaps this is to dissuade players from brute forcing inputs (or to contribute to immersion), but I really wish I could just pull up a UI to edit the bit string instead of having to go to the designated room. Also, 3D perspective makes it a little hard to distinguish rows. - Controls are sparsely explained. How...

About This Game

Key Features:
- Three different classes of puzzles: digital, analog, and quantum
- Optional levels of puzzle hints
- A beautiful original soundtrack
- Mysterious locations to explore and hidden secrets to discover
The Long Gate is a challenging and beautiful single-player, first-person, puzzle game. On a mission from the enigmatic creators of this place, you will explore ancient caverns filled with mysterious devices and traverse relaxing oases of nature while learning to solve the three primary types of puzzles that wind through them. Repair the ancient circuits and unravel the mystery of what happened to their creators.
Nearly all The Long Gate’s puzzles are based on real world technologies, and it contains accurate depictions of quantum circuits and a 4-bit quantum computer, verified by scientists at D-Wave Systems, the world’s first commercial quantum computer company. To progress through the game, you will learn the basic principles that form the backbones of each puzzle type. You do not need a technical background to finish the game, but if you have an interest in any STEM field these puzzles will be particularly interesting to you.
Levels and many puzzles can be completed in any order and many have more than a single possible solution for you to discover, and mastering a circuit type will provide keys to new areas and secrets. If you ever get stuck on a puzzle you can explore somewhere else, then come back later, or you can open the settings menu and turn on the hints.
The Long Gate also features an original soundtrack by musician Nick Newman.
