Evaluation

Gloomy Eyes VR is a three-episode animated VR series that launched on March 11, 2020 as a complete, self-contained narrative experience. The store description presents it as a finished story — a three-episode arc with a clear beginning, middle, and end — with no mention of additional content, expansions, or ongoing development. The developer, 3DAR, and publisher ARTE France have posted very little since launch. The two surviving news posts from October and November 2023 are both publisher-level promotional posts celebrating ARTE's 10-year anniversary and promoting a bundle sale across their entire catalogue. Neither post announces new content for Gloomy Eyes specifically, and the October 2023 post's reference to "big things to come" is a general publisher statement about their broader catalogue — not a commitment to further Gloomy Eyes content. There have been no major content releases post-launch, no DLC listings, no roadmaps, and no developer communications indicating future additions to the game. This is consistent with Gloomy Eyes being designed and released as a complete, finite narrative experience from day one.

About this game

When the sun got tired of the humans it decided to hide and never rise again…

The darkness awoke the dead from their graves. A decade after the sun retreated and twilight engulfed the world, an oppressive leader has made being a zombie against the law, their very existence is illegal. They are forced to hide in the forest, away from dangerous zombie hunters. At night when the hunters retreat into their homes, the cold sunless world becomes calm and quiet. A zombie kid called Gloomy wanders alone, out of sight… This zombie is different. Truth is, he doesn’t feel too comfortable around others of his kind. Gloomy is not like other zombies. He has something inside him that we can’t see or understand.
But Nature knows he’s special.

Unexpected love, a light in the dark...

By unlikely chance, or by the mysterious powers of nature, a human girl and a zombie boy fall in love. Nena is no ordinary girl. Born in the cold darkness and knowing no other way of life, she is the niece of the harsh leader of humankind. But Gloomy and Nena care not, and immediately form an irreversible bond, powerful enough to bring brightness again to their obscure town. Can their atypical love survive in a world where the living and the dead cannot peacefully coexist?

Gloomy Eyes is above all a love story and a tale of magic

At its core, Gloomy represents all of us.
It is a story about being different, belonging, and the awkwardness and improbability of finding love. The unlikely connection between Gloomy and Nena transcends all loneliness, fear, and bigotry.

Enter a universe of surprising magic and adventure

Delight in a miniature, charmingly eerie, spinning world. Narrated by an old grave keeper (Colin Farrell), Tahar Rahim (French), Max Riemelt (German), Jorge Drexler (Spanish), Jam Hsiao (Mandarin). This poignant tale of tenderness brings magic and light into a land plagued by obscurity. Gloomy Eyes is a three-episode, animated VR-series in 6DoF & 3D real-time.
