    While Gylt has some tragic elements in its story, it’s even more tragic that it was tied to the sinking ship that was Google Staida. Luckily, with its re-release, adults and children alike will be able to get lost in the Lovecraftian lore, unnerving enemy design, and clean aesthetics. Overall, Gylt packs intrigue into every aspect of its gameplay and story without telling you the answers outright, leading to great moments of discovery.

    While it looks like a modern storybook tale, Gylt deals with some pretty intense subject matter that many can relate to. It would be easy to complain that Gylt doesn’t go deep enough in any direction or layer enough complexity on its basic systems. That would be true if the game was longer than its five-hour running time. Its mechanics might not be remarkable, but Gylt’s themes are impactful and its presentation is memorable and engaging.

    The game is still subtle enough with other parts of itself to at least warrant a thorough playthrough. After all, the player has to discover the origins of this mysterious world and the entities inside it, and the only way to find out is through multiple playthroughs. Overall, this experience is decent, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with what I've got.

    GYLT is an atmospheric, beginner-friendly horror experience that channels classic tropes of the genre, but experienced players might need more to sink their teeth into.

    Gylt is a horror game for kids - sometimes too much horror, sometimes too much for kids. It borrows plenty of ideas from its predecessors and combines them into something that certainly isn’t in any way original, but it is at least fun. It’s also pleasingly short.

    GYLT is a case of a great concept that was let-down by weak implementation of the combat system, overall repetitiveness, and way too big of a focus on a younger audience.

    Strong environmental puzzles, unfortunately, don’t do anything to save GYLT, and as such, there’s nothing here I would really recommend to anyone other than to a younger gamer just getting into the genre. Horror fans will have seen everything this game has to offer before, and a lack of anything gripping will stop newcomers from sticking around for its brief runtime.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems like an indie developer that I've never seen before, but their game making skills are quite great. It is well optimized and the game content is quite friendly. (Mark items on the map, mark destinations, keyboard and mouse play etc.). Compared to the KOEI company, it is rather a great company that is much more stable and does its best at the basics.… Expand
