‘Gloomwood’ Launch Has Become New Blood Interactive’s Best Ever

Published

In case you haven’t checked out New Blood Interactive’s Gloomwood, it’s pretty good. Scratch that, it’s really good. So good in fact, that the game’s launch a few weeks ago has quickly become New Blood Interactive’s best ever.

New Blood Interactive took to the Steam page for Gloomwood with the announcement, saying that since the game’s launch in Early Access, Gloomwood‘s sales have eclipsed the launches of DUSK, AMID EVIL, “and even the mighty ULTRAKILL.” Heck, even Aaron touts Gloomwood as the makings of a Stealth Horror classic.

New Blood Interactive and developers Dillon Rogers & David Szymanski aren’t sitting back, mind you. They’ve been gathering feedback from the game’s launch over the past few weeks, and are already working on adding more content. In fact, the most recent update to the game has tweaked the game’s Blood Moon difficulty, introducing limited saves and increased damage from enemies. A new enemy variant in the Armored Huntsman has also been added, which as you might expect, is resistant to damage, and can’t be backstabbed.

The devs say that their next goal is to work on the game’s easiest difficulty. As a result, they’ll be opening up a Public Testing Branch for Gloomwood “that will allow [players] to test these difficulty changes before they go live”.

Publisher Gamera Games and developer Pollard Studio have teamed with Wired Productions (the folks who brought us Martha is Dead) to release the psychological horror game KARMA: The Dark World. The game, which has been in development since 2021, is currently slated for a release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. No release date has been announced.

In a press release, Wired Productions managing director Leo Zullo stated that they saw something special with KARMA: The Dark World. “It evokes, emotions and provokes players to think, feel and question everything. Pollard Studio wanted to create an intense cinematic experience, and I’m delighted we’re able to work so closely with them. It’s truly an exciting game that I can’t wait to reveal more about.”

Described as a first-person cinematic psychological thriller set in a dystopian world, KARMA: The Dark World takes place in East Germany, 1984. Players take on the role of Daniel McGovern, a Roam Agent for the omnipresent Leviathan Corporation’s Thought Bureau. You have been brought in to investigate actions that have happened in a very specific moment in time. To do so, Daniel infiltrates the memories of suspects to retrace their steps and piece together his investigations. In doing so, Daniel uncovers fragmented memories of his own lurking within the shadows.

As a Roam investigation officer, you work at night, completing the tasks given by the corporation in complete stealth. Your identity as a Roam Agent is intimidating, giving you leverage to gain entry. Using a combination of investigative tools and their own intellect, players must solve puzzles in order to unravel the truth. Diving into peoples’ minds will have you encountering hallucinations and randomly-changing environments. You have to pay attention to the time and space of your location, as well as observe and spot key personnel and events in order to find your way.
