Description


In a world plunged into eternal night and torn by conflict between the living and the undead, one faint glimmer of hope still flickers in the hearts of two special souls. Gloomy Eyes tells the tale of Gloomy, a sweet zombie boy, and Nena, a mischievous human girl, who defy the rules by teaming up and embarking on a quest to bring back the daylight.

Control both Gloomy and Nena in a completely single-player experience, switching between characters to solve brain-teasing environmental puzzles. Each character brings their own set of abilities, and you'll need the skills and quirks of both to progress through this delightfully wretched darkness.

Step into a world where the macabre meets the magical. Inspired by the art style of Tim Burton, Gloomy Eyes offers a lovingly crafted universe brimming with spooky charm, eerie beauty, and heartwarming gloom. No gore or jump scares to test your nerves, just a whimsical haunting atmosphere that will pull at your undead heartstrings.

Gather round for a heartwarmingly bleak fairy tale of necromantic adventure, as told by the old gravekeeper. While the living and the undead are squabbling something fierce, two unlikely souls meet and become one another's closest companions. But for any hope of a cheery forever after, they must set off on a journey together to find the sun and restore its light to the world.

Each level is a stunning, handcrafted rotatable diorama, overflowing with visual macabre charm and ghoulishly delightful details. Explore these miniature worlds from multiple angles as you uncover secrets, solve puzzles, and play out a story of a love that should never be.

I can't in good faith recommend this game. It's very short, there's like maybe three gameplay mechanics for each puzzle, which start to feel very repetitive, nothing really changes or develops apart from the mini "boss

There are multiple situations and places where the fixed camera absolutely sucks. If you can ignore that, it's a nice little puzzle game, about 5-6 hours long. I didn't encounter any bugs and I don't regret buying it. 6

Gloomy Eyes, developed by Atlas V, Be Revolution Gaming, 3Dar, Fishing Cactus, and ARTE France, and published by ARTE France together with Untold Tales, feels less like a traditional video game and more like stepping
