Gloomwood

Gloomwood is a first-person survival horror game developed and published by Dillon Rogers. It draws heavy inspiration from early survival horror titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, featuring fixed camera angles, resource management, and a puzzle-driven narrative. The game is set in a dark, Victorian-era city filled with grotesque creatures and an oppressive atmosphere. Players take on the role of a detective investigating a series of disturbing disappearances that lead them into the city's underbelly.

Gameplay in Gloomwood emphasizes stealth, careful exploration, and tactical combat. Ammunition and health supplies are scarce, forcing players to make difficult decisions about when to fight and when to flee. Enemies are challenging and often require specific strategies to overcome. The game also incorporates environmental puzzles that require players to observe their surroundings and use items found within the world to progress. The visual style aims to evoke a sense of dread and decay, with a muted color palette and detailed environments that contribute to the unsettling mood. Gloomwood is known for its challenging difficulty and its commitment to replicating the classic survival horror experience. It is currently in early access with ongoing development.
