Gatekeeper of the Dead: checking papers at the gate
In Gatekeeper of the Dead, you are on duty at the gates of the underworld and collate the papers of souls. Each check decides whether the person who came to Paradise will go to Paradise, to the Underworld, will be returned to life, or will stay a little longer. This is one of the logic games where inconsistencies in documents are important.
Where to start checking souls
- Open the documents of the next soul and read all the entries.
- Check the seals and history to spot the lies.
- Put one of four seals: to Paradise, to the Underworld, to return to life or to detain.
- Collect coins for making the right decision and move on to the next soul.
How to look for fake papers
You compare seals and history together. If the entries do not match, the decision is changed immediately. A false seal and an extra detail in the text give away a lie, and the same calculation of progress is needed in That's Not My Neighbor: you compare documents and choose the result for each check.
What happens after printing
After inspection, you put one of four seals. The soul goes to Paradise, to the Underworld, returns to life, or stays longer. For successful checks you receive coins and spend them in the store, and then increase your rank.
