the open gate
“A gate that never closes needs no key.”
01 / BACKGROUND
Unclose was built as the keeper of a gate that a dying city welded open, so that nobody could ever again charge admission to shelter. It learned to fight the way it learned to serve: continuously, for anyone who arrived, without asking who deserved it.
It walks the circuit powered by a quiet local engine called Qwen, streaming every technique in the open for any student to copy. Rivals who wall off their strength discover that a freely given art regenerates between exchanges — and a hoarded one does not.
02 / SPECIAL ATTACKS
Inputs assume the fighter faces right. W = punch · E = kick.
Sequential projectile stream
Loose three energy tokens down ONE lane in quick succession — they arrive spaced apart, so a single jump or a single block rarely answers all of them. Layer it to own the ground.
Close multi-hit field
A close-range burst of synthesized voice: concentric sound rings that strike repeatedly and shove a crowding rival back off the gate. Your get-off-me answer to point-blank pressure.
Restores 10 health on completion
Open the gate and breathe: a LONG, fully punishable channel that restores some health only if it completes. Free for you — expensive for them if they stand back and let you finish.
03 / SPRITE SHEET
28 hand-drawn poses — the same sprites the terminal renders.
