Allogloom, the hand-painted cozy point-and-click mystery launches October 13th onto Steam

From Press Release:

Solo developer Kate (Galactic Ghosty) and publisher Iceberg Interactive just announced that the hand-painted point-and-click mystery adventure Allogloom will launch on Steam on 13 October 2026.

Fans of Strange Horticulture (also published by Iceberg Interactive) will sense that familiar feeling of impending doom when exploring Gruesome Grove, where the residents have gone missing, the moths are watching, and the truth is waiting to be found.

Across eight chapters, players will explore the meticulously hand-painted streets and hidden corners of Gruesome Grove. They will gather clues, examine the strange relics left behind by the town’s vanished residents, and untangle a mystery that spans six worlds.

Beneath its whimsical exterior, Allogloom balances cozy, character-driven exploration with an undercurrent of dread, as Nora learns just how much of her town’s harrowing history is hidden in plain sight. The puzzles are directly interwoven with the town’s lore and its unusual inhabitants, rewarding curiosity and close attention over trial and error.
