Gloomy Eyes is a Tim Burton film in video game form

Not all Halloween horror needs to terrify. From Scooby-Doo to Over the Garden Wall, plenty of spooky-season staples are enjoyable without raising your heart rate. There’s also a growing library of spooky-cute games with Halloween vibes, but not the sleep-with-the-lights-on level of horror. Gloomy Eyes came out in September, and is an excellent cozy alternative to the truly terrifying games of 2025.
