Gloom and Doom is a visual novel throwback to 90s slacker movies – complete with the solitude and sarcastic retorts – but with a supernatural twist. Push a powerful but unmotivated wraith to complete his stagnated quest to enter heaven, while trying to kill the suicidal but unkillable Doom Bringer.
## About This Game
Gloom is an ancient wraith trying to earn his way into Heaven by killing
demons for an exploitative angel. Wynona is a depressed young girl who is
convinced she is the Doom Bringer that will end the world.
His final task is to kill her and she’s trying to die – it should be a match
made in heaven. But here’s the catch: She’s unkillable. Gloom and Wynona will
have to deal with the agents of both Heaven and Hell if they are going to
discover their destinies and escape from their empty and repetitive lives.
And then there’s the big dilemma: Should you save the world from a demon
apocalypse, or save her soul?

Original artwork in the style of 90s spandex superhero comics, with bold black
outlines and heavily-inked blocks of shadows.
