Gloomwood - Early Access Release Date Trailer
The environments have a lot of appealingly claustrophobic verticality to them, with elevators and dark tunnels you can climb through using ropes. You can drop from pretty bloody high up to backstab – brainstab? – enemies. Watch out for their vision cones, which pop out of their eyes and turn from bright green to red if you’re spotted. The game wasfirst shownat 2020’s PC Gaming Show and meant to enter early access later that year, but we’re finally getting a shot at it this year instead.
You can try out Gloomwood’s pre-alpha demo onSteamnow while you’re waiting for the Early Access period to start. Handily enough it’s also part of summer’sSteam Next Fest, which begins today.
