Gloomy Eyes debuted in the fall, and acts as an superb cozy option to the intensely frightening games of the current season. Visual: ARTE France, ATLAS V, 3DAR, Game Company A Distinctive Self-Coop Journey Labeled as a “self-coop” puzzle game, Gloomy Eyes teams up a zombie boy called Gloomy and a mortal child known as Nena as they start an mission to bring the sun back to their shadowy world. Their design is similar to collectible figures blended with the characters from a animated feature. The pale-skinned and baggy-eyed appearance is influenced by the visual style of Burtonesque cinema, and the plot is a quintessential all-ages tale. The pair forms an unbreakable bond over the span of the game’s multiple stages as Nena tries to demonstrate to her religious guardian that, hey, perhaps the undead can be friendly. Original Puzzle Mechanics The “self-coop” term originates from the game’s environmental puzzles. When Gloomy and Nena encounter each other, players alternate amidst the newfound friends to complete challenges and advance through the levels. Since he's not alive, Gloomy is unable to traverse through the brightness of a light source, while Nena can be captured by loitering creatures except if a light is directed on them.
