Thief-but-with-guns gameGloomwoodcontinues its early access crawl with today’s update, adding a delightful market district to the game. You can get your hair cut, buy a new outfit or two, and generally have a nice time. There definitelywon’tbe any murder or dangerous reasons to skulk through the shadows. And that dog? He doesn’t bite, honest. Take a look at the bustling shopping centre below.

Gloomwood Market Update
Okay, only some of that’s actually true. The eerie stealth ‘em up’s newest updatedoesadd a market district, and thereisa merchant’s shop where you can buy and sell certain goods. And youcantechnically meet the barbers, although I wouldn’t trust them with a skin fade. According to developers, they “want to take a little of the top” and I prefer a full fringe. I was kidding about the dog, though. That creature in the dark is probably a werewolf and itwillbite.
Along with the deadly new area, the latest update also adds new extra features. There’s now a toggle for Source-style shadows on objects that makes some interiors look even spookier. The devs have also added a new intro menu scene since the plan is to have “Half-Life-style chapter menus that change as you progress throughout the game.” Gloomwood previouslyadded a tavern arealate last year, but that was also dodgy as hell.

“As we continue to expand upon the world of Gloomwood,” the devs wrote in aSteam blog post, “we will add more details to the existing areas, more buildings to explore, more loot to pilfer, more enemies to face, but for now - please enjoy the fruits of our labor.” They also tease that the Underport is up next, with something “waiting for you down there…”
Gloomwood’s early access version is usually £16/$20/€17on Steam, but there’s currently a 25% discount thanks to theSteam Stealth Fest.
