Gloomwood from New Blood Interactive and designers Dillon Rogers and David Szymanski (Dusk) is a very cool looking retro-inspired immersive sim meets survival horror. Taking inspiration from the era where these genre's took hold (think Thief and others), and yeah, this is one Early Access launch to keep an eye on.
Having your inventory be a literal briefcase you open and manage in real-time is an awesome touch. Not to mention the brilliant atmosphere and sound design. And yep, that's the voice of Terri Brosius (Shodan from System Shock and Viktoria from Thief).
Check it out.
Gloomwood is a stealth horror FPS that follows your mysterious abduction to a forgotten, twisted Victorian metropolis in the midst of a horrifying transformation. Wield your canesword and take to the shadows as you uncover the accursed mystery hidden within the fog.
The producers of DUSK, AMID EVIL, ULTRAKILL and FAITH bring you a frightening, gothic immersive sim full of haunted streets, dark tunnels and decadent mansions. An intricate, hand-crafted city with freeform exploration - from towering rooftops down to hidden passages, the routes you take and paths you make, are your choice.
A detailed stealth and sound system that tracks your light visibility and propagates noise accurately through the world. Tread lightly. Or prepare to get loud.
A unique arsenal to meet any situation - a stealthy canesword, six-shot revolver, folding shotgun, hand-placed traps, rope-slinging harpoon rifle and more.
In-depth player interactivity, from leaning to eavesdrop, peeking through door cracks, checking the bullets in your firearms and mantling onto ledges.
A mob of ghastly denizens and monsters with acute senses, like the sharp-clawed Crowmen and the fearsome, cadaver-seeking Corpse Duster.
Gloomwood is full of objects to pick up, throw, climb, smash and use to your advantage.
There is more to this city than you can possibly imagine...
