September is the first of some busy months for game releases, and it is easy to lose sight of ones you are interested in amongst the crowd. For a few of us here at the GSC, one such title is Gloomy Eyes, a “creepy-cozy” single-player puzzle game that we got some hands-on time with at Gamescom. With the game’s September 12th release date fast approaching, we thought now was a good time to check out the Gloomy Eyes achievement list!
For those of you who haven’t stumbled across this particular game before, Gloomy Eyes is a “self-coop” puzzle game where you alternate between controlling Gloomy, a sweet zombie boy, and Nena, a mischievous human girl. Together, they are on a quest to end the eternal night that has plunged their world into darkness, their companionship flying in the face of tense relations between the living and the living dead. Use each character’s abilities to solve BRRAAAAAIN-teasing environmental puzzles across several fully rotatable diorama levels, each bursting with secrets and macabre details.
Check out the demo for Gloomy Eyes, which we highlighted in our July issue of the GSC Demo Disc, to get a feel for what is in store.
The Gloomy Eyes achievement list, which comes via TrueAchievements, comprises 29 achievements, totaling up to a glorious 1000 gamerscore. However, unlike most achievement lists, which only have a handful of secret achievements, Gloomy Eyes’ list is made up entirely of secret achievements! We have kept them all secret, with the option to be viewed based on the reader’s discretion.
