Gloom District

Narrative

Shattered glass. 1940s haze. Rain-soaked streets, crooked cops, the bitter stink of cigarettes. That’s how Detective Kaylee Belden starts her morning: neighbors to interrogate, evidence to chase, and a corpse waiting in the bathtub.

Shattered glass. 1940s shadows. Rain, mafia deals, the burn of last night’s drugs still lingering. That’s how the nameless Jacob Kessler wakes up: memory wiped, documents gone, and a corpse in his bathtub. 

One bathroom. One body. Two lives unraveling. 

And you?

You are both. 

Two perspectives, two timelines, one truth twisting between them.

Gameplay

A narrative-driven point-and-click mystery where every conversation is a clue and every choice pulls a different thread.

Point with your mouse, right-click to move, interact with highlighted objects, combine items, crack puzzles, and tackle minigames as you piece together the real story behind this prologue,  and the secrets waiting beyond it.

Oh and just press space bar to switch between the Detective and the Killer, it will help you solve the riddles...

Enjoy :)
