After we take into consideration horror video games there are frequent titles that come to our minds: Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or the latest 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 films or books, the horror style is just not unusual for teenagers (i.e. “Lodge Transylvania” or “Goosebumps”), the videogame business didn’t launch such titles. Even our first recreation at Tequila Works, Deadlight (2012), was a survival horror recreation that was not designed for a young person viewers. So, what’s totally different with Gylt?
The Origin of the Nightmares
Gylt is a really private recreation 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 sensible and nearer to our every day lives.
We developed this unique concept right into a delicate horror recreation by which our younger protagonist, Sally, is on the lookout for her lacking cousin, Emily. In her journey she’s going to begin operating away from bullies and shall be taken right into a bizarre and extra harmful model of town. There she’s going to meet the worst nightmares from Emily. And that is the place our tagline is sensible: Worry the shapes, form the fears! Our little protagonist must cover from them or struggle them again, when attainable, utilizing a easy flashlight.
Bullying is a Severe Factor
Don’t be mistaken, this can be a recreation and you should have enjoyable, be scared and soar out of your sofa. However as we stated, faculty bullying is what strikes us all.
Through the growth of Gylt we labored intently with a gaggle {of professional} psychologists. They helped us current bullying in a fragile approach.
For the launch of the sport we’re collaborating with Protected in Our World, a global group engaged on that matter. Should you’re feeling totally different from regular or you might have 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 title 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 title we selected for the varsity within the recreation.
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 ambiance of the film in our recreation, in addition to from Alan Wake.
As horror fan lovers we aren’t ashamed to say that we took inspiration from a number of the greatest.
Is This Recreation for me?
After 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 a gore, no unhealthy language and no actual weapons. The creatures’ designs, the ambiance and the music will ship shivers down anybody’s backbone.
All gamers will face the problem of combating the monsters or hiding from them, in addition to fixing puzzles on the way in which to search out Emily, whereas having fun with a significant story. And for those who 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.
