Gloomwood is as fun as I hoped, but there's just not enough of it right now.
It's not often that I'm so immediately into a game that I follow its development as closely as possible, but that's the effect's demo had on me when it appeared on Steam in 2020.
There might have been some other interesting story bits shared by a blabbering guard, but if so, I was almost certainly distracted by tricky stealth encounters. Gloomwood is the rare stealth game that is happy to ding you for stepping too far into a patch of light or jogging when you should've been walking. It's a wake up call from modern stealth games like Dishonored, Watch Dogs, and Hitman that have trained me to feel basically invisible as long as I'm crouched.
Nearly every object that can be picked up lives in the briefcase as a 3D model, not a scribble of text on a list. To even see the inventory, the Doc needs enough space to set the case down in the world . Time doesn't stop while fiddling in pockets, so something as simple as injecting a health syringe takes tactical consideration. Space is limited by grid size, but also by how good I am at inventory Tetris.
I was often distracted by the future during my Gloomwood playthrough. There's so much cool stuff going in the first few hours that the frequent reminders of its unfinished state grew to be annoying—the most overt, immersion-breaking example being a house in the third area that teases an encounter with a scary beast only to be greeted with a sealed door that says"under development."
