Gloom and Doom

An Interactive Visual Novel
(Writer, Programmer, Art)

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.

Life sucks, but immortality sucks more!

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?

Praise for Gloom and Doom

  • "Harnesses the angst, lack of identity, and overall contempt for society that is the hallmark of Gen X, and turns it into a story worth of Neil Gaiman."

    Real Otaku Gamer

  • "A heartwarming tale full of wit, charm and totally badass characters."

    The Xbox Hub

  • "If you like supernatural stories, comics, pop culture, you're gonna love this. And even if you don't, underneath all that is a story that deals with universal issues everybody can relate to."

    Otome Sekai

  • "If you enjoy the 90s aesthetic that can be found in places like Kevin Smith movies, there’s a good chance you’ll fall in love with Gloom and Doom."

    Fair Plays by Wes
