If either game was confusing enough, nothing is cleared up in the story, and it all comes together to feel mostly poetic, vague, and abstract.
#Gylt the game cast series
The final third of the game is more cinematic-oriented and rather short.īloober Team seems to really love their Layers of Fear series because they thought it was big and important enough to remake both games and tie them into each other with a third overarching story. The second third of the game is focused on stealth and puzzle-solving.
#Gylt the game cast upgrade
You can still craft health and ammo, and you only find two upgrade parts for your pistol (none for the shotgun). The first third of the DLC is all action and shooting-oriented. There are also a couple of boss fights thrown in for good measure. It’s nice to go back to these areas, but they are completely different with Rose present. You end up revisiting Dimitrescu Castle and the home of the creepy doll, as well as a small section of the village. You get to upgrade this over time through the story and can eventually slow down enemies with it and repel some. As a trade-off, you can use your anti-mold powers to interact with the environment and counter enemy attacks. You also only get two weapons in the DLC. The only difference is that Rose is slower and not as strong as Ethan. The game plays exactly like Village did when you were Ethan.
I wanted more of this, but as the game dragged on, it never got more challenging. There are two bosses, and one focuses on combat and the other on stealth. Each level usually requires some sort of master key to get to its boss, and this is the only time the game was challenging or changed the pace. There is a central hub with buildings that connect, and these are your main levels. Most of the enemy patrols are easy to bypass as there are a ton of objects to hide around, and the game pretty much points a finger at your most direct path. You are supposed to use it as a last resort-if you get caught at all. Unlike Alan Wake, the focused flashlight to kill enemies just doesn’t feel as fluid, and I understand combat isn’t the main focus of Gylt. Even the light-switching puzzles are dull and simple. However, you must destroy three eyes with your light to unstick the ladder.
It’s obvious from one glance around the room that it goes against the wall with the vent.
You will be plopped into a room with a single moveable ladder. This is all fine and dandy, but there’s nothing challenging to go along with these tools. The flashpoint can not just light your way, but a focused beam can remove objects, bust pustules on enemies to kill them, and the extinguisher can freeze enemies, freeze water, and put out fires. The puzzles are elementary, giving no challenge to the players at all. When it comes to gameplay, Gylt is a run-of-the mill stealth action game. There’s no motivation to push me to want to find out the small details. You can go around collecting journals, birds, and whatnot, but what’s the point? I won’t collect things in a game if I don’t feel connected to the world in some way. There is no context, exposition, or anything like that. It’s like starting 1/4th through a book and ending at the halfway point. We don’t know anything about the main character or Emily. There’s even a creepy old guy that we never find out what his purpose is or why he’s even present. In the four hours it takes to complete the game, there is zero world-building. Gylt’s short length means there’s pretty much no story or character to capture your interest or care about. You slowly get introduced to new gameplay mechanics and fight a couple of bosses. You play as a little girl trying to save her cousin Emily from monsters in a strange town, and you don’t know where you are on top of all this. Gylt, a Stadia (RIP) exclusive upon release, is a stealth game in a similar vein to Alan Wake.
