GYLT from Tequila Works is a heavy game to bear. Its story is overwhelmingly sad, relatable, and impactful. The gameplay is built to complement the story and the devs did a great job of pulling those two pieces together. This game isn’t for the faint of heart and it will certainly get you in the feels, but the journey is worth the emotional risk.
While its gameplay can feel a little basic at times, we’re really glad that GYLT is now free of Stadia. This is a small but powerful horror title that tackles an important issue while also providing hours of engaging gameplay. And though there’s nothing truly original here, Tequila Works has obviously put this together with care. If nothing else, it deserves praise for simply being a horror game accessible to younger audiences while still being unsettling for all.

An artistic game with characters that you sympathise with and want to save. Gameplay, graphics and story are excellent.

A horror game that touches a very serious theme, the game grips you right from the begining until the end of the game, while the game is short I find it the right length.

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.
A weak combat system and a few gamplay niggles don't detract from what is an eerie, adventurous tale. Yes the story could have been stronger but the visuals and mostly entertaining gamplay make Gylt an enjoyable game that never outstays its welcome. However, I do feel a few tweaks here and there could have made the game vastly superior.
Tequila Works has definitely offered better experiences in the past, but Gylt is still a decent enough time.
An adventure with basic stealth elements and a teen-horror atmosphere that also winks at more recent genre series. The atmosphere is good but the all too basic gameplay seems to be aimed at a fairly young and unweaned audience. Technically it does not leave great memories but the porting job could have been better.
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.

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. I am thankful that this game was not lost in the sinking ship of google stadia.
I highly recommend this game

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. Sure, the mechanics aren’t anything new or particularly innovative – but they serve their purposes for the relatively short runtime of around six hours. The story also has an interesting premise, but it falters in the face of a barebones structure and poor pacing. 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.

Gylt had the feeling **** game but due to the short and easy gameplay it failed.
