About this game

Behind the Iron Gate is a first-person shooter set in a prison. Players complete small objectives such as finding keys and unlocking gates, eventually activating a self-destruct sequence and escaping within a time limit.

The game features enemies, additional weapons including rockets and stun bolters, Wolfenstein 3D-influenced mechanics, fast and smooth graphics, atmospheric music, and four control systems. The visuals vary mainly through colour tinting, while sound effects include gunshots and screams.
