Doctor! The old laboratory at the lighthouse is up and running again. Time to get to work...

Aye, Gloomwood research is finally here, and with it this accursed town will be changed forever... but so will YOU!

Collect body parts of the foul beasts roaming the city with your new BONESAW and bring them back to the lighthouse for... research.

Once you've done the proper research you'll be able to collect ingredient jars and craft serums that will allow you to TRANSFORM into these monstrosities!

You can currently research and turn into Goatmen (to become a walking tank), Bat Barbers (to jump oh so high and fall like a feather) and Crowmen (to move with super speed)

You can also buy the first suitcase upgrade earlier now, and the second one after the Hive. (for all those body parts you'll be lugging around)

Gain their powers, use them to get the upper hand on your foes and reach areas previously inaccessible to a mere man... or even blend in with your new... friends.

And as you may have noticed, the doctor's journal has also gotten a complete overhaul for this update.

Completely diagetic, of course.

Right now research will unlock when you first get to the mirror dimension, but after the next update it will unlock a bit later as we'll be adding new enemy spawns (more to research, naturally) as well as passive bonuses, and the ability to research and turn into even more beasts both big... and small.

And since this is an immersive sim and you can play it however you want - research is, of course, completely optional.

As always, we hope you appreciate the monumental effort it takes to develop a game like Gloomwood.

There's plenty more to come... SOON™
