    Simple and accessible, the main asset of Gloomy Eyes' cooperative, single-player gameplay lies on solving its succession of puzzles and challenges while keeping track of what surprises the plot will bring us next. Although the camera could use improvements, Gloomy Eyes shows how it is possible to tie an animated movie to an adventure game and to keep us holding on to the very end, not because we are scared but because we want to see and do more.

    Ultimately, disappointing visuals aside, there’s a lot to like here. It definitely falls into the ‘cosy horror’ sub-genre, with spooky yet charming aesthetics, haunting music, and engaging puzzle-solving throughout. With Halloween on the horizon, it could be the perfect little primer for younger gamers.

    Gloomy Eyes provides a gently creepy experience that should appeal to younger gamers seeking a light puzzle/adventure challenge. Because of its short playtime and disappointing Switch visuals, however, consider its price (and perhaps other platforms) before exploring its gloomy, yes, but heartwarming world.

    Like other games with a fixed perspective, it’s not always clear where the characters can and cannot go. You may need to just bump into a few random objects to figure out which ones are interactable, as it’s not always intuitive. However, those minor speedbumps don’t get in the way of a spooky-cute good time. Gloomy Eyes runs on the short side, with about three to five hours worth of puzzles. Later levels blend together minor stealth and action elements with the puzzle solving, as Gloomy Eyes marches toward a satisfying — and somewhat surprising — conclusion.
