Gloomwood 2022
Gloomwood is an upcoming first-person stealth survival horror video game set in a Victorian-style city. Developed by Dillon Rogers and David Szymanski and published by New Blood Interactive, the game places players in control of an unnamed doctor navigating through the gloomy environment. The experience emphasizes stealth and exploration, allowing players to use both melee and firearms against various enemies.
The game draws strong influence from the Thief series, particularly its initial titles: The Dark Project from 1998 and The Metal Age from 2000. Comparisons have also been made to Dishonored, Bloodborne, Sir, You Are Being Hunted, Resident Evil, BioShock, and Deathloop. It is often categorized as an immersive simulation game.
Announced in June 2020, Gloomwood entered early access on September 5, 2022, following a delay from its original August 16, 2022 release date. Pre-release builds have been praised for their atmosphere, tone, world design, level construction, and gameplay mechanics. However, it has also faced criticism due to unfinished content and high difficulty levels. The game is available on Windows and supports single-player mode.
