Gloomwood is an upcoming Indie Stealth Horror game. It can be played in First Person Perspective(FPP). The game is set in a forgotten, twisted Victorian metropolis in the midst of a horrifying transformation.
The player is wields a classic cane-sword, simple but mighty. This game can be described as frightening, gothic immersive sim full of haunted streets, dark tunnels and decadent mansions. We don’t know how the game’s map will be set but as our understanding of games’s description, this can be an open-world game.
The city lets you explore freely,from rooftops to hidden sewers, the path taken, is the player’s choice. To battle greater demons, one needs greater weapons, so a six-shot revolver, folding shotgun, hand-placed traps, rope-slinging harpoon rifle and more accompany your cane-sword.
