The eerie and enchanting world of Gloomy Eyes is making the leap from VR to traditional gaming platforms. Developed by Atlas V, Be Revolution Gaming, 3Dar, and Fishing Cactus, this cozy horror adventure is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in late 2025.

From VR Short Films to Interactive Adventure

Originally released as a VR-exclusive trilogy of animated short films, Gloomy Eyes has been reimagined as a fully playable “self-coop” puzzle adventure. Players will experience a moody, Tim Burton-inspired story brought to life with handcrafted diorama environments and hauntingly beautiful visuals.

While the game remains single-player, you’ll control both main characters—Gloomy, a zombie boy, and Nena, his mortal love—sometimes simultaneously, to solve environmental puzzles and navigate a dark yet heartwarming tale.

A Love Story in a World Without Sun

Narrated by Colin Farrell, Gloomy Eyes tells the story of two unlikely companions fighting to bring light back to a world lost in eternal darkness. The game’s handcrafted art direction and rotatable 3D dioramas enhance its atmospheric storytelling, offering a unique blend of cozy horror and emotional depth.

Why the Shift to PC and Consoles?

The original VR release captivated fans with its touching narrative and stylized visuals. Now, by transitioning to more accessible platforms, the developers aim to bring Gloomy Eyes to a broader audience, transforming the passive VR experience into a fully interactive journey.

This marks the first time players will be able to play through the story, rather than just watch it unfold—adding layers of engagement and immersion.

What We Know So Far

There’s no specific release date yet, but the game is confirmed for launch in late 2025. You can already wishlist it on Steam to stay updated and catch early deals once pre-orders go live.

Final Thoughts
Gloomy Eyes is shaping up to be a beautifully dark adventure packed with charm, emotion, and eerie atmosphere. Whether you’re a fan of puzzle games, dark fantasy, or love stories with a spooky twist, this one might just win your (undead) heart.
