You're essentially running after this kid and unless you read everything - you don't know why. I just don't like how they did the story. I'm fine with them (cute, adorable - nice animations, etc). GYLT GYLT IS OUT NOW ON MULTIPLATFORM You better not run out of battery in your flashlight, darkness approaches. You have no idea why your (spoilers) cousin chooses to run from you every chance she gets or again why. If you choose to not read any 'books' this game is kind of mindless. Maybe it's my age, but I chose to focus on the latter. Either you wanted a mindless horror game with monsters or you delve a bit deeper into the emotional core of the title. At the core of this game - it is about 1) finding your cousin and 2) finding out why she went missing in the first place. Where do I begin with this game? Maybe I should point fingers at the trailer for stressing its horror elements.

GYLT might be worth a try if you find any of this interesting, but it’s totally passable if you aren’t particularly piqued by anything that’s on offer. The story also has an interesting premise, but it falters in the face of a barebones structure and poor pacing. Tequila Works Founder Talks About Crunch, Stadia, Gylt, VR and More Tequila Works is a Spanish game studio that has been around for roughly 15 years. Sure, the mechanics aren’t anything new or particularly innovative – but they serve their purposes for the relatively short runtime of around six hours. Now that could very well be due to the pre-launch reviewer period, but reporting what I know in home internet conditions (102 Megabits per second), Stadia is more than capable of running this low-key tale.Good- Well written characters with compelling voicework interesting atmosphere mechanics are simple but enjoyable enough for the short Good- Well written characters with compelling voicework interesting atmosphere mechanics are simple but enjoyable enough for the short runtime Bad- The story isn't fleshed out the level design can be pretty linear which makes puzzles really easy combat mechanics don't have a ton of depth Thoughts- Despite its many shortcomings, GYLT is a passable adventure that managed to retain my interest for the entirety of its campaign. Even running on the Pixel the game controlled well with a controller (you need to plug it in at this time, so have a holder/attachment ready), and I saw very little in the way of visual bugs or frameskips. I had the chance to test out Gylt running on a PC, a Google Pixel 3a, and a ChromeCast (the latter is the preferred method). It’s weird to think of how a game “runs” on Stadia, since it’s not technically hardware, but it is a new delivery system. That’s kind of a Tequila Works signature, for what it’s worth. From a narrative standpoint Gylt doesn’t offer up a lot of revelatory material: instead preferring a slow burn as the story mostly serves as a way to move you from place to place as it quietly ponders your situation. Some are more effective than others, offering up lingering dread rather than jump scares, or better enemy placements that make for more engaging stealth gameplay. How much fun (or emotional quotient) you get out of it is completely dependent on the area itself. It’s got collectibles and light puzzler-boss battles. It has the classic action-adventure “move this object around to the right spot” brain teasers. There’s locations to scour for keys to open doors.

Much of it is guided - either through some tense linear scenes or story sequences - and the rest is structured as a series of light puzzles. You know the drill for these types of games by now. The former theme is best reinforced by the item base, one of which is an inhaler that restores health, or soda cans that can be used to distract said baddies.

You know, Cthulian eyeball tendrils, creepy creatures, things of that nature. We essentially get two stories: one is grounded in reality and deals with the very troubling life of Sally and Emily, and the other is a macabre mix of horror genre stylings of the “T-for-Teen” variety. What begins as a tale about a bullied girl searching for another lost child slowly descends into madness, as shadow creatures (both literal and allegorical) pop up to wreak havoc on our headstrong hero Sally.
