“Even if it hurts me… I can’t just ignore someone suffering right in front of me.”

Mature beyond his years
Brilliant, but chooses silence over action

When I finally opened my eyes after seven years,
something was straddling my body… moving against me.
Han Gaon wakes with a shard of meteorite buried deep in his chest.
The world he knew is long gone. Now, monstrous alien creatures called "Creatures" fill the skies, the land, and his vision.
Among the infected, only a rare few are born with the ability to suppress the creatures’ power and unleash supernatural strength.
They’re called the Awakened.
The battlefield belongs to the 'Espers'— men with power, driven by madness.
And the only ones who can calm that storm… are the 'Guides'.
Men who wield power. And men who know how to handle it.
In a world where bonds are forged through submission, desire, protection, and obsession,
survival depends on one thing—
needing each other completely.
------
Meteorites fired by alien Creatures to invade Earth pierced the atmosphere and crashed across the globe.
From the Gates opened by the impact, parasitic monsters poured out relentlessly.
Due to the Creatures seeking Earth's life force, almost all of Korea has been devastated.
The survivors scattered across the country, forming new survival orders through factions like the Awakened guilds New Tiger, Daybreak Dragon, and Taeul,
military organizations such as the 710 Commando, the S.E.M.A Research Institute,
and those who belong nowhere—the Wanderers.
Why did I gain these powers…?
The truth of this chaotic world lies hidden
within the shard embedded in my chest!

I have been playing this game for about a month and currently on this game for 13 hrs now and have recently reached Chapter 5-8. To summarise, the experience is engaging, but there are several areas that could be improved. I appreciate the strategic depth of the chapters: the difficulty is high enough that you cannot simply rely on the 'auto' function. Success requires manual play to correctly time shields and buffs. While the story remains interesting, I found the uncensored scenes to be underwhelming; this is an area where the developers should definitely improve. My primary concern involves the use of generative AI for the background scenes. While the characters are clearly designed by real artists, the AI backgrounds feel out of place. I hope the developers eventually replace these with hand-drawn art. Furthermore, the graphics can be inconsistent: I occasionally encounter pixelated or blurry textures that lower the visual quality. The gacha system is surprisingly fair: it is entirely possible for a free-to-play player to obtain limited SSR Espers and their matching Guides through consistent daily grinding. I have already secured both Baek Yeongwoon and Yeo Taeju (from current limited SSR banners), along with their guides, without spending any money. However, I do have one major recommendation: the pity system should carry over to the next banner, similar to the systems used in other popular gacha games. That way, more players would likely continue to play this game. The difficulty curve is steepening as I prepare for Chapter 6. I am currently grinding to ascend my team to level 60/70 and farming circuits for my Chipsets. As the levels increase, the material requirements are becoming significantly harder to fulfill.

Como que faz pra ser Guide de uns Esper bonitões assim, hein? Quero me alistar.
I was honestly pretty hyped when Zerowake GATES first got announced. Like, it sounded right up my alley. But after actually playing it… I can’t lie, the gameplay itself feels kinda dull. It’s turn-based, and not in a super engaging way, more like the kind where you just go through the motions. But honestly, I’m still sticking around for one big reason: the characters. I love that they included my fav BL and omegaverse couples. It kinda makes up for the slow gameplay, at least enough to keep me interested.
This one is good so far. I love the story line!!! I think the only problem is that the game crashes after playing for around 30 to 40 minutes? I'm not sure why—
Стильная BL-игра в сеттинге Guideverse. Радуют знакомые герои вебтунов и контент 18+. Геймплей простоват, но визуал и сюжет затягивают.
2D로만 보던 친구들을 3D로 볼 수 있음에 감사하지만 그거에 비해 게임 멈추고, 튕기는 일이 너무 많음. 다른 게임도 동시에 돌아가고 창 몇십개를 켜둬도 컴퓨터는 말짱한데, 제로웨이크는 마우스 클릭 몇 번만 해도 게임이 멈추고 꺼짐. 그리고 게임이 할 게 너무 없고 현질유도가 좀 심함 이벤트가 자주 있는 게 아닌 이상 무조건 현질을 해야 에스퍼 레벨을 올리든 뽑기를 하든 할 수 있음.. 맵 하나 깰 때 마다 코인 4000-5000개 주는데 에스퍼 레벨확장 하는데 20만 코인이 들어가니까 아무것도 못함. {돈이 없다-> 캐릭터 레벨을 못 올린다-> 다음 맵을 못 깬다-> 돈이 없다} 이 악순환이 반복되니까 재미가 없어져서 거의 출첵만 하고 있음 ++) ㅇㄴ 왜 컴퓨터로 들어가면 게임이 멈추냐고요 클릭 몇 번 했다고 멈추는 거 진짜 족같음 ㄹㅇ 제발 다 필요 없으니까 게임 튕기는 것 좀 없게 해 주세요 지금 4일째 게임을 못 하고 있어요 저 윤승호 뽑아야 한다고요 +++++) 응 여전히 계속 튕겨서 걍 안하는중 ㅋㅋ
Nice game. Story is good. Keeps you engaged
