You can also sneak up on enemies for an sick melee takedown that has beams of light erupting from their bodies.
#GYLT UPGRADE#
For example, the flashlight has an upgrade that allows you to permanently vanquish your foes by directing light at their bright-colored weak spots. There are also more direct ways of dealing with enemies. If you’re clever, you can lure them into electrified puddles which will take them out instantly, but you have to turn on the power, which might put you in their sight lines. You’re also given a flashlight that can be used to distract enemies, they’ll follow it like a cat following a laser pointer. None of the enemies have far sight lines, so you can easily get away with some pretty brazen moves. There are various ways to deal with the monsters the game throws at you, with the most simple option being to sneak around them. While not all that menacing, they’re certainly uncanny enough to want to avoid. As they lumber around, their lanky arms swing side to side. Their heads are pointy, their faces are upside down, and their top halves are disproportionately larger than their legs. They’re large purple creatures covered in glowing yellow sacks. This is where the horror starts, as the monsters make their first appearance. On the bright side, Sally notices Emily in the window of the school and tries to find a way in. The earth has ruptured as if there were an earthquake power lines are down, and no one is to be seen. It’s just a lot of confusion that could have been spared by a still of Sally ascending.ĭespite the initial confusion, the rest of the opening unravels smoothly. Why would a factory only accessible by cable car have one? When you finally do get onto the cable car, the camera is at a canted angle, making it look like you’re going up. On top of that, there’s a parking lot visible. Save for a few missable prompts, there was no indication that the setting changed. This makes the new objective of going home confusing. It turns out that between putting up posters and getting into the bike crash, the location changed from Bethelwood to Tomm. This is where the story becomes confusing. Her bike is destroyed and she has to find a way home. Shortly after Sally is done putting up the missing signs, she crashes her bike while being chased by a few neighborhood bullies. The factory is only accessible by a single ascending cable car, a cartoony detail. She lives in Bethelwood, a town in Maine where most people are employed at a factory called Tomm on a nearby mountain. The game sets the desperate scene, with Sally putting up missing posters where there are already a dozen plastered. You play as Sally, a young girl looking for her missing cousin, Emily.
Gylt, a narrative-driven horror game, manages to avoid those pitfalls while striking a balance between cartoony graphics and genuine thrills, all while tackling the problem of bullying.
It’s easy to fall into countless pitfalls and end up creating a trite experience.
The game runs $19.99.Creating good horror is hard.
#GYLT PC#
You can buy the game digitally on Steam on PC (Windows only), the Microsoft Store on Xbox One and Series X/S, as well as the PlayStation Store for PS5 exclusively. Now, Gylt is launching on PC and console. And, being an early release, Google’s effective paywall for Stadia access at the time meant that the game came with a hefty hardware investment. On Stadia, Gylt gathered excellent reviews unfortunately, the game wasn’t enough to really attract an audience to the platform. Hide from terrible creatures or confront them as you find your way through the challenges of this wicked world. Set in a creepy and melancholic world, GYLT is an eerie story mixing fantasy and reality in a surrealist place where your nightmares become reality. You’ll be presented with challenges throughout where you’ll have to find clever ways around the world’s “terrible creatures.” Players take on the role of Sally, who is “dragged into a twisted version of her town where her fears and worse memories are presented in a wicked and very real way” while searching for her lost cousin Emily. Gylt is, at its core, a narrative-based adventure game. But, when Stadia died earlier this year, it took Gylt and some other games with it but thankfully, Gylt is now back with a release on PC and consoles. The first exclusive available on Google Stadia back in 2019 was Gylt, a horror adventure game from Tequila Works, which was actually a ton of fun.
