Stadia-Exclusive Gylt Goes Multiplatform Next Year

Last week, Google announced it plans to shut down Stadia on January 18. One of the less-discussed casualties of the news was that Tequila Works’ Gylt, a horror adventure game and the first Stadia-exclusive title, would disappear entirely. Thankfully, that won’t be the case.

Tequila Works confirmed its plans to make Gylt multiplatform by 2023. It doesn’t specify which platforms the game will become available on, but it’s a relief to know that one of Stadia’s few original gems won’t be lost to history. 

Gylt was launched alongside Stadia in November 2019. It stars a young girl named Sally who searches for her missing cousin across a town haunted by evil spirits. It also offers a comment on depression and bullying. The game’s vibe and art direction evoke films like Coraline or Tim Burton’s animated works and channels games like Inside and Silent Hill. Gameplay emphasizes stealth, with players using a flashlight to defeat enemies. The game is more innocent than it appears, but there are still some truly creepy moments. I found the experience to be a fun horror adventure.

Are you going to check out Gylt? Or will you wait until next year and play it somewhere else? Please comment!
