When 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 Fear, however the place are the horror video games which are appropriate for a youthful audiences?
While on different media, like films or books, the horror style is not unusual for children (i.e. “Hotel Transylvania” or “Goosebumps”), the videogame business 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 teenager viewers. So, what’s completely different with Gylt?
The Origin of the Nightmares
Gylt is a very 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 sensible and nearer to our each day lives.
We developed this authentic thought into a delicate horror sport wherein our younger protagonist, Sally, is trying for her lacking cousin, Emily. In her journey she is going to begin working away from bullies and will probably be taken into a bizarre and extra harmful model of town. There she is going to meet the worst nightmares from Emily. And this is the place our tagline is smart: Fear the shapes, form the fears! Our little protagonist should cover from them or struggle them again, when attainable, utilizing a easy flashlight.
Bullying is a Serious Thing
Don’t be mistaken, this is a sport and you’ll have enjoyable, be scared and bounce out of your sofa. But as we stated, college bullying is what strikes us all.
During the event of Gylt we labored intently with a group {of professional} psychologists. They helped us current bullying in a delicate means.
For the launch of the sport we’re collaborating with Safe in Our World, a world group engaged on that matter. If you’re feeling completely different from normal or you’ve got observed a change in your habits, you may 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 in the course of the ‘70s for some of his novels, and that’s the title we selected for the college within the sport.
And who hasn’t already watched “Coraline”? If you’re accustomed to 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 aren’t ashamed to say that we took inspiration from among the greatest.
Is This Game for me?
When we are saying that the sport is appropriate for youthful audiences we’re not saying that an grownup or a hardcore horror gamer can’t take pleasure in it. What we’re saying is that there is no 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 seek out Emily, whereas having fun with a significant story. And in case 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
If you’re taking 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, accountable for the music of Carrion, Vader Immortal or Clive Barker’s “Jericho”. But 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.
