Gearbox releases new ‘roguelight’ game Eyes in the Dark

Gearbox announced a new “roguelight” game at PAX East 2022 called Eyes in the Dark: The Curious Case of One Victoria Bloom.
Developed by Under The Stairs, the monochromatic game sees a young girl – the titular Victoria Bloom – searching the darkness of her family home for her lost grandfather.
The layout of the house will change with each run, and Victoria will have a variety of small arms to fend off creatures. You can check out the gameplay in the trailer below.
Each playthrough will be different, as Victoria collects light-based weapons like a shotgun bulb and matches (along with her flashlight and slingshot) to defeat the darkness.
“Eyes in the Dark creates an atmosphere of loneliness and isolation, while giving you the tools to ultimately emerge from the experience as a stronger person,” game designer Filip Neduk said in a press release.
“Victoria’s ordeal – traversing the mansion alone and facing her fears – reflects the player’s need to learn and master the mechanics of the game in order to progress; you are both living this adventure together.”
Eyes in the Dark: The Curious Case of One Victoria Bloom will be released on PC via Steam and Epic Store on July 14.
