With a cane sword in hand you can do a special charge strike that can instantly down an unaware enemy. That’s not to say you can’t make quick work of enemies if you get the chance. Your character can fight, but if you're spotted you can pretty quickly find yourself surrounded and be in a very dire spot. This UI element will show you how well you are hiding in the shadows, and you’ll have to keep an eye/ear out for any nosey surfaces that could draw enemies to you. You have some mobility options like being able to mantle over some objects, but the biggest point highlighted in the tutorial is the orb that lives in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. The demo began by introducing some early movement options and explaining the mechanics. It's just you, the eerie streets of the city and the curiously dressed creatures on patrol. On the design of Gloomwood this is a static, handcrafted, world so nothing is randomly generated. I’ll try to use clips from the current build (the art style for the game changed in the past year or so) so you may notice a difference compared to that earlier thread.Īs a refresher from that thread Gloomwood is a new Immersive Sim that draws inspiration from some of the classics, namely Thief and System Shock 2, where you take control of a character thrust into a hostile town where you need to focus on survival in the classic sense. This delay comes only a few weeks before release, but it’s not a very long delay. It was initially scheduled to release in August 2022 but has been pushed to September 3, 2022.
There was no gameplay recording during the demo but a couple glimpses of Gloomwood from the developer Dillon Rogers and other New Blood staff on Twitter that I’ll be including to give some context. New Blood Interactive’s upcoming stealth horror title, Gloomwood, has received a brief delay. I’ll be sure to include any previews/interviews as they release but for now it’ll just be my own thoughts until those go up. The producers of DUSK, AMID EVIL, ULTRAKILL and FAITH bring. Wield your canesword and take to the shadows as you uncover the accursed mystery hidden within the fog. I had already written about Gloomwood here on ResetEra but since the gameplay demo the thread about came from an older build (even at the time the video was mistakenly released) I wanted to start from scratch now that myself and others have gotten some hands on the game at PAX East last week. Gloomwood is a stealth horror FPS that follows your mysterious abduction to a forgotten, twisted Victorian metropolis in the midst of a horrifying transformation.
