GYLT

Pros: Great level design, strong mechanics, nice controls, great voice acting, good story, for what it is I think it's the right length of gameplay also. Cons: For achievement hunters it's going to be a bit annoying because it does not let you manually save so you cannot just go back and try again without doing huge parts of the game again for some of the achievements. After you know what an item is I don't think a tool tip needs to come up again every time, once would have been enough. Game is extremely easy I didn't die once and there was so much health I never even used, it was rare to even get hit and maybe because they wanted to make it easier so kids could play but having maybe a difficultly selection could of been a good idea. Overall would recommend for a nice weekend horror themed casual game.

O jogo é muito bom, ótima jogabilidade, mecânicas excelentes porém o que me não me agradou é que o jogo é muito curto, mas vale muito a pena.

Very cute, charming game. Good enemy designs and just enough gameplay mechanics to keep things interesting. Doesn't overstay its welcome at all. Easy recommend for a rainy weekend.

It's kind of scary, actually. It's look like a Disney's Pixar horror game in the style of Dead Space.

awesome

Riding the coattails of Alien: Isolation, I needed something I could actually relax with. GYLT was a smaller title I'd heard about roughly a year ago on a list of underappreciated gems, and the trailer was intriguing enough that I picked it up during the Steam summer sale. What I got was a compact little adventure-horror-puzzle game — an odd but effective blend of Alan Wake, Little Nightmares, and the 2004 Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events tie-in, which I hadn't thought about in twenty years. I wouldn't quite call this family friendly, or at least not without a caveat — it works best for older kids playing alongside an adult. The story tackles some fairly serious questions and subject matter, especially if you read the found materials scattered throughout. Don't let the cartoonish aesthetic fool you; the game opens with a disclaimer about its content for good reason. After finishing, I went back through to piece the timeline together and make sure I'd read the subject matter correctly. The gameplay and puzzles aren't especially difficult, even for a casual player. They're straightforward as long as you're paying attention, which I'd actually commend Tequila Works for — accessible without feeling condescending. Where it stumbles is balance. Certain weapons trivialize enemies and deflate what should be tense encounters. Leaning toward stunning enemies rather than outright killing them would have preserved the tension better. That said, the enemy designs themselves are varied and creative, sitting in a space that almost teeters into Tim Burton territory. Overall it's a thoughtful game punching above its weight, and at $8 on sale the short runtime is easy to justify. In a saturated market it manages to stand on its own with its own spin on mechanics and storytelling. Other reviews tell the same story — Overwhelmingly Positive, and I can see exactly why. 86/100
