16 itemsAbout the Game
Shroud of Gloom combines the charm and nostalgia of classic point-and-click adventures with a chilling horror atmosphere. Explore an old manor full of secrets, solve puzzles rooted in the environment, and uncover the mystery of this place - it may seem abandoned at first glance, but you’re certain that you are not alone.
Hired as a Private Investigator, you arrive at Crawford Manor to investigate the disappearance of Edmund Sullivan. What begins as a routine case quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
Modern Point-and-Click Experience: Inspired by the classics, but refined with modern responsiveness and polish.
Environmental Puzzles: Rummage through the manor, collect useful items and clues to solve environmental puzzles.
Puzzle Variations: Puzzles feature randomized elements and multiple variations. While progression is semi-linear, no two playthroughs are exactly the same.
Fragmented Narrative: If you want to truly understand what occurred, you’ll need to connect the dots yourself.
Atmospheric Survival Horror: You're armed with only a flickering flashlight, and something is lurking in the dark.
Immersive Sound Design: An original soundtrack and handcrafted sound effects designed to immerse you into this unsettling world.
Accessibility Options: Extend timers, adjust contrast and highlight color, disable flickering lights, camera shake, walking animations and more. Play in a way that suits you.
Shroud of Gloom is a deeply personal project from two lifelong friends: a solo developer and a sound designer. It’s the result of passion, persistence, and countless late nights. Your support means the world.
