Gloomy Eyes is a puzzle-adventure game developed by Atlas V, released in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Set in a world locked in perpetual darkness and caught between warring factions of the living and the undead, the game follows Gloomy, a zombie boy, and Nena, a human girl, as they form an unlikely friendship and set out to restore sunlight to the world. Players control both characters within a single-player structure, switching between them to solve environmental puzzles that require the distinct abilities of each. The levels take the form of handcrafted, rotatable dioramas that can be examined from multiple angles to uncover secrets and progress the story. Visually inspired by Tim Burton's aesthetic, the game leans into macabre charm and whimsical atmosphere rather than gore or jump scares, presenting its fairy-tale narrative through a spooky but gentle lens.
In a world plunged into eternal night and torn by conflict between the living and the undead, one faint glimmer of hope still flickers in the hearts of two special souls. Gloomy Eyes tells the tale of Gloomy, a sweet zombie boy, and Nena, a mischievous human girl, who defy the rules by teaming up and embarking on a quest to bring back the daylight.
