Getting a few rounds in

Creepy stealth festGloomwoodsnuck into early access a few months ago and made fans of immersive sims look out from under their hoods - but sadly the work-in-progress won’t let you slip past its city gates. With Gloomwood’s final update for this year, though, you can at least nip in the local tavern now. Only, it seems there’s something pretty nasty dwelling inside its presumably one-star walls. Have a watch of the trailer below, and get us a Guinness and a packet of Golden Wonder from the bar. Ready salted, please.

Gloomwood - The Tavern Update Trailer

You can find the tavern at Gloomwood’s cliffs. The devs say that it contains the “deadliest foe you’ve yet to encounter”, and I don’t think they mean a bunch of students necking shots of Goldschläger. Unfortunately, once you’re inside the tavern you’ll find it’s a lock-in. You won’t be able to get out until you’ve bested the foe waiting for you, because they have the key. If you don’t fancy taking on whatever leary patron is prowling the tavern then you can always steal it from them instead. If you find the tavern tricky then there’s always the new Crescent Moon difficulty, which makes resources more plentiful and enemies easier.
Gloomwood’s in early access onSteamfor £16/$20/€17. You can read the notes for the tavern updatehere. Sneak a beermat into your cloak before we leave, will you? I collect them.
