The Spiritual Successor to the Thief Action Series, Gloomwood, Enters Early Access

Gloomwood is a horror first-person shooter aimed primarily at stealth fans. The creators themselves present this work as a Thief with pistols, which is somewhat presumptuous. However, at first glance it is obvious that he is at least following in the footsteps of the first parts of the famous brand. As part of the story, you will go to the dark Victorian metropolis, which is undergoing a strange transformation, and become part of it. Its big draw is the fact that it is handcrafted, so every inch of it is made with love.

When you happen to step out of the shadows at the wrong moment, you’ll have to deal with ubiquitous enemies. Luckily, the game puts a wide variety of weapons in your hands. You can use leg traps, swords, or any firearm against them. Yes, rifles are one of the many fundamental differences this part offers. At first glance, its biggest weakness is its graphical processing, which belongs to a slightly different era of the gaming industry.

Gloomwood is out in early access on PC, where you can now buy it for 15 euros. At this stage, it should remain for about two years.
