≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

Infinite darkness,
Ebbed away as light creeps in like growing ivy.
Blotches indiscernible by eye but known by mind,

Flee from an event unknown.

Fleeing from them.
Dogmen tear through my associates,
Screams for help drowned out,
By tachycardia,
By labored breaths,
By feet pounding against concrete.


Hundreds of pairs of feet,
Stomping their way toward me.
"Take your post!"
Hunter throws me forward
I look back at him,
Dazed.
Gunfire brings me back to life


Back to reality,
Concerned faces surround me.
They say my name,
Yet it is one I don't recognize.


We are one,
One entity in the form of many.
For what is to come,
We need more,
More templates,
Soldiers against Him


"Fall back!"
Are his final words.
Bram is taken by the horde,
Marlene is behind me.
Suddenly she is shot,
By him.
I run away,


Until Valley Station is only a dot in the distance,
Until I am free from that place,
Looking down on it.
Then I am given what I need,
What I deserve,
It all happened for a reason.
Reports of his death,
Humor,


Him?
My head becomes muddled again,
Valley Station has long since been abandoned.
I look up to the sky


Glowing blue.
Then clinical white,


She is in there,
Or is it I am in there?


We are in there,
Red vines overtaking,
Them.


All overtaken by the virus,
Except her.
She was the answer,
She was special.


"Katie!"
She was the reason all of it happened.
Why Marlene is dead,
Why Hunter is dead,
Why Washington Dam fell.


No,
Epsilon Station fell.
The explosion rocked the helicopter on the way out,
All I could think about was the future,


Where he wins,
The one who wants to make us deathless beasts.
Where the world is consumed in flame,


Like Fairhaven.

But how? And why?
Their memories swirled around inside me,
Reminding me of my burden.
His future must be stopped,
And I must be there to stop it.
