New Blood Interactive, along with developers Dillon Rogers and David Szymanski, released a retro-inspired first person shooter named Gloomwood. On its debut day, the project drew strong praise from gamers, reflected in a high user rating that stood at 97 percent at the time of reporting.
Gloomwood invites players into a stealth horror experience wrapped in a gothic atmosphere. The central figure is a demon hunter who must unravel the truth behind a troubling kidnapping, guiding the narrative through shadows and mystery.
Players can look forward encounters with restless ghosts, cultists, and a variety of monstrous foes lurking in dim mansions, winding tunnels, and rain slicked streets. The world design leans toward handmade environmental elements, with multiple routes available in each location. Exploration rewards curiosity with hidden secrets and alternate pathways that encourage experimental playsyles.
As for combat tools, the hunter wields an invisible stick, a six shot revolver, a collapsible shotgun, hand traps, a harpoon gun and more. Stealth is a core mechanic, allowing players to observe from cracks in doors and to listen for cues. The hero’s sounds can alert enemies to his presence, creating tense moments when enemies narrow the distance and strike at awkward times.
Gloomwood is currently available on Steam, priced at 391 rubles with a 10 percent discount available until September 12. The storefront has recently refreshed its sale section, offering a wide array of notable deals for fans to explore.
Screenshots and visual previews of Gloomwood are accessible within the game page gallery to give prospective players a sense of the moody setting and its atmospheric design.
The title was highlighted among July’s standout new releases on Steam, drawing attention from players and critics alike for its blend of stealth, horror, and old school sensibilities. This reception has resonated with audiences across North America, including Canada and the United States, where players often seek titles that balance atmosphere and mechanical variety.
