Gloomwood trailer full#

I've had high hopes for Gloomwood from the start, and after getting some playtime on this early build, I'm even more excited for what's coming. Thief, of course, refers to the classic stealth series by the same name. You sneak around a dark, Victorian city and dispatch your enemies with a sword to the back, or a shotgun blast to the face. You can bet there will be rejoicing among old-time Taffers if that happens.ĭespite the rough edges, I was really impressed with what I played. Gloomwood is described as Thief with guns and that’s a pretty fair description. He also hit me with a surprise that Thief fans will love: New Blood is working on getting Stephen Russell, the voice actor behind Garrett and Corvo Attano, involved in the game. The producers of DUSK New Blood Interactive published a release date trailer for Gloomwood an old-school stealth horror first-person shooter similar to Thief in some ways. The AI is still rough in spots-at one point an alerted guard opened a door to room where I'd left a dead body lying in the open, but he got stuck behind the door and eventually reverted to idle state-and there's no voice acting or guard chatter, although Dave Oshry of publisher New Blood Interactive told me that both are on the way. The Gloomwood demo is still a work in progress. Killing is easy, but hiding under stairs, sneaking behind some barrels, timing a guard's movements by listening to his footsteps, then dashing into a room to snatch a key and slipping out again unseen, is exhilarating.

In full stealth mode, though, Gloomwood really does ring the old-school Thief bell.
