    Gloomy Eyes is a dark but lovely fairy tale, revived from its previous VR-exclusive short film form and given new life with a welcome if fairly shallow layer of gameplay.

    Gloomy Eyes is a cute game about forbidden companions on a quest to find the sun. The visual aesthetic is clear from the jump, with creative character models and some smart accessibility options. However, a lack of camera controls, unskippable cutscenes, and an underdeveloped story leave quite a bit to be desired. With plenty of passion driving the game’s design and narration, you’ll no doubt have a decent time with Gloomy Eyes, but perhaps consider checking out the VR movie first.
