The Bread Gate is a short game made by Yulo Tomorrow in February 2021 using Unity 3D. In this parody of both the bread-baking and companion-feeding activities in Ultima 7: The Black Gate, you have to frantically bake loaves of bread to feed an ever-hungry Iolo. If you time things right, you can save extra loaves of bread in your backpack, and once you accumulate enough (ten, actually), you can use the extra earnings to buy a Fellowship candelabra.
Mike's RPG Center has prices of armour, items, weapons, training, spells, reagents and potions.
