Sep 11, 2025Gloomy Eyes is one of those games that you really must play. Aside from a slight camera issue, it introduces the player to a wicked world, dark, foreboding, but full of charm. This is an adventure you’ll want to join, as you aid two distinct children on a journey into the unknown. If you’re looking for puzzles, it’s got it, and if you need brilliant visuals, it nails matters. But further to that comes a narrator that brings this world together in the very best possible way.

Sep 29, 2025Overall, Gloomy Eyes is an engaging, enchanting experience. The complementary abilities of its two protagonists allow for interesting puzzles, and its story has a lot of heart despite the gloom. I liked the VR film, but the game is an equally enjoyable take on a haunting little tale.

Its story of outsiders finding their place in the world is charming and emotionally engaging, enhanced by Tim Burton–inspired design and music. However, technical issues and frequent bugs disrupt the experience, especially given the game's short length.

Sep 11, 2025Gloomy Eyes is a gem that shines bright throughout the darkness: an interactive tale that draws us into a universe that is both dark and captivating, worthy of Burton's most beautiful daydreams. Visually exquisite, the game weaves a unique story between a melancholic young zombie and a lively human girl, perfectly embodying the intricate duality between dark & light. The tasteful artistic direction sublimates this duality with an aesthetic that captivates us from the very first moments, to the point where one struggles to put down the controller! The puzzles, scattered throughout the game, add rhythm and depth to the adventure. And even if a few minor bugs sometimes disrupt the experience, they in no way detract us from the charm of this poignant and poetic work, which will blow you away! A rare, strange and captivating thrill that should not be overlooked.
