It is the game adaptation of the VR story Gloomy Eyes VR released in 2020.
Players alternate between two protagonists: Gloomy, a timid zombie boy sensitive to bright light, and Nena, a lively human girl comfortable in illuminated areas.
Each character possesses distinct abilities, such as moving objects, activating switches, or avoiding hostile creatures, that must be combined to traverse obstacles.
Stages consist of compact, rotatable dioramas filled with levers, lifts, doors, and collectibles.
Some areas feature light-based hazards or adversaries that respond differently to each character, encouraging strategic switching between them.
Across fourteen stages and a handful of boss encounters, Gloomy Eyes maintains a focus on gentle puzzle progression rather than high difficulty.
Levels can often be completed within minutes once their solutions are clear, with the addition of optional secrets and post-game exploration.
A narrator recounts the story as players advance, complementing the stop-motion-inspired art direction and subdued soundtrack.
The presentation adopts a whimsical macabre tone, avoiding gore or jump scares in favor of a lightly melancholic narrative about friendship and restoring daylight to a darkened world.
About PlayStation 5
Launched in late 2020, the PlayStation 5 introduced ultra-fast SSD loading and ray tracing to mainstream console gaming. It's still early in its collecting life cycle, but the Digital Edition (no disc drive) has already created a meaningful split in the market between disc-based and digital-only PS5 owners — something collectors should keep in mind when comparing prices for the "same" game.
Gamevaro tracks Gloomy Eyes for PlayStation 5 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Gloomy Eyes to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS5 release dates back to 2025.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Gloomy Eyes, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 5 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
