Gloomwood Stealth Guide — Master Light, Shadow and Sound to Stay Unseen
Gloomwood's stealth rests on two readable systems: light and sound. This deep dive explains how visibility works in light and shadow, how your own movement noise betrays you, and how leaning, timing and reading patrols let you move unseen. Master these and you can pick your fights, avoid the ones you cannot win, and glide through the cursed city the way the game intends — methodically, silently and in control.
