    Gylt is a mechanically simple game with some awesome horror atmosphere. The atmospheric music, thr mesh of cartoon/realistic visuals and school/town setting really sets this game apart from other horror games giving it a unique feel. Despite the game suffering from uninteresting boss fights, it still manages to stand out above the rest.

    While the game has some clunky voice acting and an ok script it's really charming in its own way. It definitely immerses you into the environment over time and the art style/graphics look amazing.

    With mature themes in a narrative that has evolved alongside the gameplay, Gylt tells an engaging story and may surprise those who judge a book by its cover.

    GYLT offers an emotional insight into the impact bullying can have on a child using thought provoking art to convey concepts of loneliness, anger and paranoia. This well crafted story links well with the simple gameplay mechanics, with an artstyle that fits the creepy atmosphere created through the soundtrack. All of this and an environment which urges you to explore in spite of the sparse selection of meaningful items to be found, GYLT is perfect for a horror fan looking for a more mellow game, and would work well as a first-time spooky experience.

    Gylt hits PC, PlayStation and Xbox after its exclusivity with Stadia to bring its light and enjoyable survival horror proposal to a wider audience. A simple, convincing audiovisual experience that hides a deep social message.
