Death Gate is a computer adventure game loosely based on Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's fantasy book series The Death Gate Cycle. Legend Entertainment released it in 1994. It won and was a runner-up for several gaming awards, although it is now regarded as abandonware.
Players take on the role of Haplo, who is the main character of the book series. Most of the realms in the books are used in the game, with the exception of the Seventh Gate, but they are not presented identically to the books. For instance, the Vortex of the game is a mix of features from the Vortex and the Seventh Gate of the books. The plot differs considerably and many major book characters are not featured, including Bane, Marit, and Alfred.
The game was released with a short story called "Forever Falling" written by Weis and Hickman with Kevin Stein. It tells the story of how Ciang became the Head of the Brotherhood of the Hand, an assassins' guild featured in both the books and the game, but the character herself is only mentioned by name in the game. The story serves as backstory to events in The Death Gate Cycle and has little relation to Death Gate.
