Gloomy Eyes

Meet Gloomy, a sweet zombie boy, and Nena, a mischievous human girl, who defy the rules of their world and elders by teaming up. Why? Because one day, after the sun got fed up with humanity's stupidity, he simply… left. His absence created a bitter, angry world where the living and the undead are locked in endless squabbles.Now it's up to Gloomy and Nena to find him and bring back his light. Each character has their own set of unique abilities and notable weaknesses, so they'll need to work together to overcome the world's many obstacles.

  • A "Self-Coop" Adventure: Control both Gloomy and Nena in a fully single-player experience. Switch between the two to solve brain-teasing environmental puzzles. Each character brings their own abilities that you'll need to overcome obstacles and progress through this delightfully wretched darkness.
  • Creepy Cozy Horror with No Jump Scares: Step into a world where the macabre meets the magical. Inspired by the art style of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride or Nightmare Before Christmas, Gloomy Eyes offers a lovingly crafted universe brimming with spooky charm, eerie beauty, and heartwarming gloom. There's no gore or jump scares, just an enchanting, haunting atmosphere that will tug at your undead heartstrings.
  • A Whimsical Tale of Forbidden Companionship: Gather 'round for a heartwarmingly bleak fairy tale of necromantic adventure, as told by the old gravekeeper. While the living and the undead are squabbling something fierce, two unlikely souls meet and become one another's closest companions. But for any hope of a cheery forever after, they must set off on a journey together to find the sun and restore its light.
  • Explore Twisted Little Dioramas: Each level is a stunning, handcrafted rotatable diorama, overflowing with visual macabre charm and ghoulishly delightful details. Explore these miniature worlds from multiple angles as you uncover secrets, solve puzzles, and play out a story of a love that should never be.
