Gloomy Eyes: Charming Horror Game Hits PC, Consoles

Author : Patrick Oct 14,2025

Introducing Gloomy Eyes, an innovative "self co-op" horror adventure that blends cozy gameplay with Tim Burton-inspired aesthetics reminiscent of The Nightmare Before Christmas. This unique title challenges players to simultaneously control two distinct characters—each with special abilities—to solve intricate puzzles throughout the journey.

Belgian studio Fishing Cactus presents this gothic fairytale: "In a world shrouded in perpetual darkness, where the living and undead wage endless war, an unlikely bond forms between two extraordinary souls. Follow Gloomy, an endearing zombie boy, and Nena, a spirited human girl, as they break the rules of their divided world to restore daylight."

The game features meticulously handcrafted diorama levels, with puzzles requiring players to strategically switch between controlling Gloomy and Nena — sometimes manipulating both simultaneously. The experience is enhanced by what developers promise will be a hauntingly beautiful original soundtrack.

Gloomy Eyes will launch later this year for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game is currently available to wishlist on Steam for those intrigued by this unique dark fantasy adventure.
