I've wanted to play this game since it was released on Stadia. However, I didn't intend to buy a dead-on-arrival console just for one game. And then it happened — GYLT came to Steam. What can I say? I am not disappointed. Alan Wake for kids is exactly what I expected. There are no big revelations in the story. It is trivial but still interesting. As a horror game, not scary at all. I would call it an adventure game. And all the warnings in the opening credits just highlight that school bullies exist (breaking news!). It's not a masterpiece, but it can definitely entertain you.

A story of isolation and pain, and a story of regret and guilt, that anyone could experience, has experienced, or is experiencing.

GYLT is a charming horror-coated adventure game with a big emphasis on stealth and puzzles. While the gameplay can get a bit repetitive towards the end, the game is fairly short and doesn't overstay it's welcome. The incredible art direction sets the game apart, and a story that can be appreciated by people of all ages - sad to see Tequila Works gone!

If you are looking for a simple stealth game with good graphics, don't wait. Pick this up NOW.. Gylt was a Stadia (Yeah, that dead gaming concept) exclusive that moved over to everything after a short stent. You play a the older sister looking for your missing younger sister who just started going to the same school as you. For some reason, there is a parallel city that she was trapped in with several other town residents. If you are looking for a game with excellent graphics, I would not put this on the top of the list. Do not get me wrong, the graphics are great and the level of detail is outstanding. This game was not designed to look like Horizon Zero Dawn. The comical animated style brings a sense of childish wonder mixed with a terror of silent hill. Heavy attention was paid to when they designed the feel of the environments. Moving over to the music. I will be short. It is simplistic to the point where it gets the atmosphere and tension where it needs to but no further. On the plus side, although repetitive, it is not overly loud nor is it annoying. Controls are simple. You pick up a few items that you would normally find at a school. These items will be used to clear pathways and deal with the monsters. As the game is more stealth than anything, usage will be more for traversing the multiple sections. The game has multiple endings so there is room for additional play-throughs. In conclusion, if you have fatigue from all those hardcore games, definitely pick this up. It is not very long but have simple intuitive game-play with a satisfying story!

Wonderful little spooky stealth horror adventure game for all ages. If you're a fan of Alan Wake, Coraline, or Little Nightmares, chances are you will love this title. I adore the art style especially. Would love to possibly see an update that adds fully rendered cutscenes, as the still images kinda took me out of it every time they showed up, but I also understand its an idie team and its not really a big issue at all. I won't spoil anything, but great art, great story, great music, and great gameplay. I absolutely see myself returning to this every once n a while for a long time.
