Once we take into consideration horror video games there are frequent titles that come to our minds: Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or the newest Amnesia or Layers of Worry, however the place are the horror video games which might be appropriate for a youthful audiences?
Whereas on different media, like motion pictures or books, the horror style just isn’t unusual for youths (i.e. “Resort Transylvania” or “Goosebumps”), the videogame trade didn’t launch such titles. Even our first sport at Tequila Works, Deadlight (2012), was a survival horror sport that was not designed for a youngster viewers. So, what’s totally different with Gylt?
The Origin of the Nightmares
Gylt is a really private sport that comes from the shut expertise of 1 relative of a studio member. Her little cousin was affected by bullying in school. And what’s extra terrifying than what’s extra life like and nearer to our day by day lives.
We developed this authentic concept right into a delicate horror sport during which our younger protagonist, Sally, is in search of her lacking cousin, Emily. In her journey she is going to begin working away from bullies and might be taken right into a bizarre and extra harmful model of town. There she is going to meet the worst nightmares from Emily. And that is the place our tagline is smart: Worry the shapes, form the fears! Our little protagonist must disguise from them or struggle them again, when attainable, utilizing a easy flashlight.
Bullying is a Critical Factor
Don’t be mistaken, it is a sport and you should have enjoyable, be scared and leap out of your sofa. However as we mentioned, faculty bullying is what strikes us all.
In the course of the growth of Gylt we labored intently with a bunch {of professional} psychologists. They helped us current bullying in a fragile means.
For the launch of the sport we’re collaborating with Protected in Our World, a world group engaged on that matter. Should you’re feeling totally different from ordinary or you’ve observed a change in your habits, you’ll be able to study some frequent emotions and psychological well being signs, how to deal with them, and the place to go for assist.

Stephen King, Coraline and Alan Wake are behind Gylt‘s Inspiration
Does the identify Bachman sound acquainted to you? That proves you’re into horror literature. Richard Bachman was the pseudonym utilized by Stephen King throughout the ‘70s for a few of his novels, and that’s the identify we selected for the varsity within the sport.
And who hasn’t already watched “Coraline”? Should you’re acquainted with the creation of Neil Gaiman you’ll discover that we took some inspirations for the environment of the film in our sport, in addition to from Alan Wake.
As horror fan lovers we’re not ashamed to say that we took inspiration from among the greatest.
Is This Sport for me?
Once we say that the sport is appropriate for youthful audiences we’re not saying that an grownup or a hardcore horror gamer can’t get pleasure from it. What we’re saying is that there isn’t any gore, no unhealthy language and no actual weapons. The creatures’ designs, the environment and the music will ship shivers down anybody’s backbone.
All gamers will face the problem of preventing the monsters or hiding from them, in addition to fixing puzzles on the best way to search out Emily, whereas having fun with a significant story. And should you take note of the collectibles and to the writings on the partitions you’ll go deeper into the story of Bethewood metropolis and its habitants.
The Music Makes it All
Should you take out music and sounds from any horror creation, it stops being scary. That’s why for Gylt we partnered with the acknowledged worldwide composer Cris Velasco, answerable for the music of Carrion, Vader Immortal or Clive Barker’s “Jericho”. However he’s additionally like a member of the Tequila Works household, since earlier to Gylt he has labored on The Invisible Hours and Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son soundtracks.
