Thief-esque stealth game Gloomwood will be released in early access on August 16

Gloomwood will be available in early access on August 16. This stealth action game is inspired by the Thief series and will be available for PCs. A demo of the game has already been released.

New Blood Interactive describes Gloomwood as a ‘stealth-horror-first-person shooter’. In the game, players are abducted to a “forgotten, twisted Victorian metropolis” that is in the midst of a “gruesome transformation”. The game takes place in a city full of spooky streets, dark tunnels and decadent mansions where they must survive and battle residents and monsters. Gloomwood is all about stealth, but players also get an arsenal of weapons that includes swords, revolvers, rifles and traps.

Gloomwood is being developed by New Blood, who previously made the first-person shooters Dusk and Ultrakill. The company previously released a pre-alpha demo of Gloomwood, which can still be played through Steam. The game will be available in early access title on August 16. The price is not known yet. According to the makers, Gloomwood takes inspiration and survival horror games from the late 1990s and early 1900s.
