We just released an update to the game. It's not super meaty, but it contains an important feature that'll help me pinpoint bugs going forward. If you encounter a problem in the game, you can now hit SHIFT + S to copy the state of the game to the clipboard. If you paste the resulting text dump in your bug rapport, I can recreate the exact conditions of the bug. Pretty nifty, eh?
Keep reporting if you see anything problematic. Our goal is to try to stay on top of any issue, big or small.
Here's a rundown of what's been updated:
• Game: Added game state dump feature (SHIFT + S) • Game: Tweaked GUI • Gateway 1: Tweaked drag targets for the pearls puzzle • Gateway 1: Fixed issue with the pearl room
I hope this update solves some of the problems you've been having. Keep reporting if you run into issues.

Release Date Announcement!
Mellow greetings!
We've been working hard to finalizing The Gateway Trilogy during these last couple of months, but we're now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The game is in a solid enough state that I can confidently say that we will be releasing on March 31st.
In order to celebrate the coming release we made a spiffy new trailer. Feel free to spread it to everyone, including those awkward friends and/or relatives you haven't talked to in a few years, you know the ones...

I just wanted to drop you a line about achievements. We have them. You gotta collect them all. Obviously.
I also wanted to thank the sweet people in the The Dream Machine forum, who kept asking us to implement achievements and to Essen, who helped us make it all happen!
I hope this piece of good news tides you over as you're waiting for us to finally announce a release date for the game. Stay tuned. Not much longer now...
