What is Gloomwood?

An Early Access single-player, first-person stealth horror game set in a Victorian city undergoing a monstrous transformation. After a mysterious abduction, you explore streets, tunnels, rooftops, mansions, and hidden passages, avoiding or fighting enemies with light- and sound-based stealth, firearms, a canesword, traps, and movable objects.

For you if...

  • +you like tense Victorian horror and retro visuals
  • +you enjoy choosing between stealth and direct combat
  • +you prefer finding your own route through large areas

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast, combat-first shooting rather than stealth
  • −you dislike revisiting areas while navigating a connected city
  • −you mainly want multiplayer modes

What players say

94% of 8,166 reviews are positive · 94% of 74 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the gothic atmosphere, interconnected level design, exploratory freedom, and range of stealth and combat tools. The dominant complaint is the slow Early Access development pace and the amount of unfinished content; some players also report bugs, inconsistent enemy detection, clunky combat, and excessive backtracking.
