Our take on Gloam

Gloam departs from a standard party-game elimination structure by bringing defeated players back as ghosts. They cannot win, but they can freeze rooms occupied by survivors, allowing them to affect the contest after their own defeat.

What is Gloam?

Gloam is an online multiplayer game for 2–10 players set in a freezing haunted mansion.

Players compete in fast mini-games involving brainpower, speed, reflexes, or luck while collecting flames around the map. Flames provide life and power a dash used to escape battles or catch opponents. The goal is to be the last player alight. A player who perishes returns as a ghost and can freeze rooms occupied by survivors, influencing the match without being able to win. Games can be played privately with friends or in public online matches. Character options include colour, skin, and gravestone customization. The game includes 8 mini-games and supports cross-platform play between PC. It presents a non-violent party-game format for all ages.
