Gloomy Eyes Walkthrough

Welcome to the Gloomy Eyes walkthrough. In this “self-coop” adventure-puzzle game, you’ll alternate playing two very different characters—Gloomy, a zombie boy who must avoid light but can move heavy objects, and Nena, a human girl who can walk freely in the light but must steer clear of the undead. Set in a world plunged into eternal night, filled with handcrafted rotatable diorama levels, the story follows their forbidden bond and quest to bring back the sun. In this guide, we’ll walk you through each chapter: how to use both characters’ strengths, solve the environmental puzzles, avoid danger, and uncover secrets hidden behind every twist of the diorama. Let’s journey from the shadows toward daylight together.

This will trigger the large truck at the top of the path to come barrelling down. Push the billboard down to create a makeshift bridge and cross over.

Keep moving past the bicycle shed and across the street. A truck with lights will come through looking for Gloomy. Hide in the shadows and make your way through.
