Two creepy-cute characters solve puzzles across Tim Burton-style levels in a cozy horror adventure that's short, charming, and genuinely clever about cooperation.

Best for puzzle lovers who want atmosphere and heart over difficulty, a short, beautifully strange adventure that respects your time.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Gloomy Eyes + Arise: A Simple Story
I've seen plenty of puzzle games, but few nail the tone Gloomy Eyes + Arise hits: spooky without being scary, cute without being saccharine. You play as two distinct characters who can't solve everything alone, so you switch between them to unlock paths, move objects, and piece together how to reach the sun together. It's a "self-coop" setup - no multiplayer, just one person learning to think in two heads at once. The levels feel handcrafted and atmospheric in that stop-motion storybook way. Puzzles lean clever rather than brutal, and the game respects your time - nobody reports grinding or padding. At a few hours long, it knows exactly what it is and doesn't overstay. If you want something weird, intimate, and smartly designed that won't demand 40 hours of your life, this scratches that itch.
