Gloomwood

About

Gloomwood drops you in a shadowy Victorian city trapped under a mysterious curse. You navigate its creaking streets and fog-shrouded alleys as a resourceful survivor armed with stealth, a quirky collection of weapons, and quick thinking. Each encounter demands careful planning, tip-toe past hostile NPCs or unleash a pipe bomb from your pocket watch. The game channels the tension of classic survival horror and the freedom of old-school engaging sims without leaning on modern shortcuts. The game’s moody art style and atmospheric audio design lean heavily into 90s horror vibes. Players appreciate the balance between challenge and fair design, enemies react unpredictably but rarely feel cheap. With a 2022 release date and no multiplayer distractions, it’s a focused single-player experience that leans into its influences while carving its own niche. Available on PC since September 2022.
