For a game that only lasts as long as the The Fellowship of the Ring extended edition, this sure left a lasting impression. The designs of the levels and basing them around one continuous scene was incredible. The narrator leads you through the story beautifully and even ends on a surprisingly bittersweet scene. Despite the fixed camera and getting stuck in rare moments, there was no performance issues or real reasons to not grab this game. Due to its shorter length, the price of $39 AUS (Introductory offer is $32) may be a little steep for some players. However, the tale of Gloomy and Nena is one that should be experienced, even if you wait for a sale.

A macabre adventure about a zombie boy and his human friend, Gloomy Eyes is a single-player game that requires players to switch between two characters. It can be frustrating at times, but its wonderfully creepy art style and some enjoyable puzzles make it a decent way to spend a few hours.
The Punished Backlog: 6.5 / 10 by Zack Gulinello
Gloomy Eyes spoke to me with its melancholic tone and Tim Burton-inspired style, but a lack of depth holds it back from being a truly great indie title. I’m sure plenty of gamers will get a kick out of what the game brings to the table visually; just don’t expect anything groundbreaking in the minute-to-minute gameplay. For those looking for a laid-back, slow-paced puzzler, Gloomy Eyes may be worth a look. What’s here is serviceable, if not at times enjoyable. Sadly, however, there’s just not enough meat on the bone to leave a lasting impression.
