Gloomwood still has no release date, but you can play the demo any time. Gloomwood on Steam Deck - optimized settngs, stuttering fix and controller layout. That’s all I really need to get excited about a game-I just really like the genre-but what’s sending me over the edge are all the neat details that today’s video shows off. Gloomwood strikes me as the type of game where a note might tell me which guy to stab to get the key I need, or a lever might open a sewer grate that bypasses that risk altogether.
