This is the story from Tequila Works' Teen-Friendly Horror Game, GYLT, which follows the story of Sally, an 11 year old girl, who has spent the last month looking for her missing cousin, 7 year old Emily.

This... hits a lot harder than I expected. Kinda sucks that this glorious lesson of child psychology was unpopular. The strength in the lessons here are beautifully written
There is a good reason. The Google Stadia
What is that
@@tgagaming1354 a “console” made by google that failed miserably.
The game isn't unpopular, it was originally released exclusively on an unpopular/ dying platform. It's picking up now because it's available other places.
GYLT is also an acronym for Get Your Life Together, which I'm sure is eluding to how the main character needs to get her priorities straight. Having it shortened to gylt also implies that she already feels bad for what she did to Emily, reguardless if she understands her true motivations or not.
GYST
remember, ending yourself is never the answer, you must out live your enemies.
best form of revenge is to live well
Couldn’t say it better!!
Badaboom! Ding ding ding! Hit the bell with that one!
Yes, kill your enemies
@@humbleebumblee they shall become the dirt i walk on
Yeah, "bullies" that followed her in a forest late at night. Thanks the heavens she runned off, that had all the basis to ends horribly.
Really appreciate the helplines in the end ❤ It’s always ok to ask, everyone deserves to be heard 🙏
i know emily is the victim here, but sally tried her best, no? she did her best to find her in real world, and also risked her life to find n save emily in dream world too, yet all she get are no explanation, getting scolded by both emily and old guy she didnt even knew, but to be fair, i will react like emily too, just if youre stuck there, either told sally to just leave her or come with her, then explained why she is mad to her, but still its kinda sad for sally.
No, 14:51. She only did that for the people who now hate her because of Emily's disappearance to forgive her. Not because she's worried or whatever. It's all guilt and a facade
Though they are both victims of bullying, Sally is partially responsible for Emily's disappearance in the first place, she is also a bully by ignoring her cousin just coz her “friends” don't like her or Emily's labelled as the “weird kid”. Bet you even that Sally's bully are the same ppl that used to be her friends but become her bully ever since the disappearance of Emily, they are shifting the blame on her because they have horrible personalities. Of course, Sally doesn't like to replace Emily's position (to be the one to be bullied)so she did all these things so that she can be the hero of the story or at least say to claim that she didn't do anything wrong and she's a good kid from the start
I agree!
13:46 This is why when you got another flashlight always keep the other one so you can have a substitute in case something happen to the other flashlight or you can dual wield it
Harry's voice when explaining stuff is weirdly relaxing. like it's my go to channel when I'm falling asleep....sounds creepy I like to listen to him when I go to sleep but it's not like that 😂
Thank you Harry for such an amazing video and a touching note at the end - so many people are bullied. Me included. It's why I'm in a role now where I try my best to understand others in the same position. No one should ever be put down.
Thanks for putting the hotline numbers we never know who might need it!!( i hope for everyone who is getting bullied a peaceful and happy life..hang in there my friend!!!)
I think implying maliciousness towards Sally from the green-eyed "grandfather" is a stretch. Though he probably didn't expect she'd be able to easily escape, he most likely sent her in as a means to help Emily, hence his exasperation when Emily rejects Sally's help and gets angry. Realizing his mistake and that Sally is only viewed by Emily as a "monster", he lashes out in that moment, but they reconcile and work together to get Emily back.
when harry dropped the hotlines and made those kind and supportive remarks, i teared up big time. i was abused throughout most of my schooling, to the point of wanting to either game end my bullies, or game end myself. thankfully i didn't end up doing either, but it had and continues to have a lasting impact on me and my life. i was diagnosed with PTSD at age 13 or 14. the trauma carried through to highschool where, even tho i didn't suffer the same direct bullying, i still didn't feel as though i belonged among my peers, i didn't really know how to interact with people my age, and i tended to gravitate towards my teachers who were kind to me.
if you are experiencing bullying and abuse, my heart goes out to you. i know how utterly devastating it is, how helpless and confused you can feel. it's utterly senseless, and always undeserved. bullies just don't have any respect or compassion for others, and eventually they'll turn out more miserable for it, because adults won't tolerate that kind of bullshit. they will be shunned for their behavior by all but those who are equally devoid of compassion and respect. take some comfort in the fact that they're ruining their future lives and they will suffer consequences for the things they have done to you. you do not deserve the horrible treatment you have suffered, but they will have earned every moment of strife they encounter going forward until the day they atone for their wrongdoings and actually take steps to better themselves. much love to everyone who has survived and everyone who's still hanging in there - i believe in you, and i know you'll find a way through.
I would also add that bullies themselves are also sad and mistreated people generally. Some people tend to act this way due to bitterness and the absence of love, compassion and care. All people in their beginning want to be loved, hugged and cared for, some choose to bully others because thats the only language known to them. Glad you doing better and wish all the strength to everyone out there ❤

All I remember about this title is something Yahtzee said along the line of 'that's hardly a twist the game's called gylt not generally-feeling-ok-about-oneself'.
That old man didn't do shit, hes in no position to scold
& he was a total dickhead the entire time.
Excellent video as always Harry. I absolutely love this title. This game was the only reason and exclusive that I was even remotely interested in that drew me to Stadia. I loved what Stadia was bringing to the table for gaming, but so much of that execution was awful and lacked so much support. When I first saw Gylt, I figured that this game was a precursor of other exclusives to come to Stadia and build upon its library of 3rd party devs but that of course never came to fruition. Im super happy that it finally came to other platforms and hope it gets more recognition.
The art style and monster design in this one looks great! The cutscenes look pretty cool too!
Probably my favorite part about the game. The artwork is great
Another player who talk about Gylt. This game is from 2019 and I'm surprised that this game became popular, because of popular gamers who play it. I mean Super Horror Bro and Gab Holders. Thank to them the game got a big boom and it's really good even now. And that was sweet that you add in the end help phone numbers.
The hotline numbers at the end were a wonderful addition, a great video as always from a class act! 👍
Edit: as I'm thinking about the game, I think it should have leaned more into Sally's own struggles with bullying, or maybe her home life is stressful or abusive, helping give some context for why didn't stick up for her cousin. This way Emily and Sally are able to understand each other's perspective; the new She Ra cartoon did an episode where she and Catra witnessed different moments from their shared childhood and it flipped how they both saw their childhoods and their relationship.
Basically That ticket is the coin, the cable car was the boat, and charon just simply charon. A person's whose guiding the dead from the underworld to after life.
Thank you for uploading! I shall enjoy😁🤗
Your take on this was incredible and I found the helplines at the end such a wonderful addition. Thank you!
Great video Harry. I love all your content as usual and I hope your doing well.
Much love for you putting the helplines on screen ❤
I really like your nuance in handling games with darker themes and weird as it may be, I appreciate that you remained neutral on Sally’s role, saying it was more Emily’s perception warping things and Sally’s inaction
Fantastic review. Your channel is the only one of its kind I'm subscribed to. The rest just pale in comparison to yours.
I bet naming the grandfather ''Charon'' wasn't a coincidence. It's the Greek ferryman of the river between the living and the dead
Thank you for making these videos, I find more games that I want to play through you even when I know the story already.
I enjoyed the story, it was nice and the fact that we have a choice to get both of them home is a good thing.
Cool game and love the aestethic style, very cute.
Sally in the animated cutscenes looks very cute and funny.
Great video as always. I’m travelling home and it’s a very relaxing way to wind down.
The ending, good man way too look out for your viewers. All those contacts.
thanks for reviewing this game when i played it i just had one ending 😮 so i was shock to hear it has 3. lore was great and you even listed calls for help that is nice. more power to you my friend.
Think it's really awesome that you put the helplines at the end. Shows you really care about your audience. I suffer alot with depression. Luckily my tablets have started working and I've been feeling a lot better
dude i swear harrys the best
I wish I could like this video twice! I love that you included other areas besides US and UK. Thank you for your hard work ANS excellent content! ❤
Another fantastic video
I'm praying that this gets ported soon
You've been one of my favorite content creators for months now. This PSA ❤ just thank you
I really like the monster designs
Yay new Gaming Harry video!!
The school sections really remind me of little nightmares
There’s a few timelines of stalker out there but nothing that really feels complete, I think we need a change
Wow. even if it's not gory, this game is dark as hell.
Wow. Thank you for such an in-depth explanation. I feel like I can walk away, having finished the game myself, with closure. The green-eyed beings were the encouragement for those who needed it, embodied in who they loved. The man's dog, the mom-like woman, and most significantly, Emily's grandfather. I noticed the big, dark entity at the end was referred to as helplessness, which ties together well with all the other monsters (and the green eyed beings) as being embodiments of thoughts/feelings from those effected by the mountain. Super cool explanation, overall. THANK YOU!!!
Love how Sally was all like "Of course I'll help you"
And in the second ending she basically says "Sike, you thought wrong"
Oh wow this is awesome, is there any chance you would cover Yomawari series?
Amazing video! Ia there the possibility to have a "Cry of fear" video?
Charon was also the ferryman who transported the souls of the dead to the underworld in Greek mythology. A payment was required to cross the Styx river - a coin - and if payment was not delivered the soul would wander the banks of the river for a hundred years. Very similar with the concept of needing the ticket to go back home. Charon also was regarded as the protector of the dead or a guide to reach the underworld (for the Greeks, the underworld was like heaven for Semitic religions).
Here we go!
Gylt is pain memories, what people see their true color of monsters, have no regrets themselves
Pretty realistic and animations and a surprisingly good story for an new game that looks old the art for cutscenes are quite good too. All in all it's a 9/10 if i get a chance to play it one day,of course I'm only here for the loooorrre.
I wish the tittle for the song in the background starting at 20:05 was in the description
One of you tell me when its found
as soon as the old man started yelling at a little girl for "failing to help" another little girl (and then responded to her crying by going "shut up, you have to do this or everything is your fault") i knew this is one of those games i never would've played or finished on my own. i fucking hate this trope of adults blaming kids for things and more often than not it never gets resolved the right way (aka with the adult realizing "wow it was really fucking stupid and irresponsible of me, an adult, to put the weight of the world on a little kid!"). cool game, but as someone who as raised on this kind of message which royally fucked me up into adulthood, i would never let any of my cousins play this game because i don't want them to internalize this kind of message.
but it was her fault, she knew her cousin was being treated horribly but not only did she ignore it she also joined in
@@SilverSkyCloud she's a CHILD. if you can stare me in the eyes and tell me you would blame a child for "letting" another child be abused, you seriously need either therapy or to attend a lot of child psych classes.
@@mysideacc2770Jez relax stop being so sensitive
Preventing someone from experiencing something isn't going to teach them why it's wrong. Blaming others for your own shortcomings doesn't help anything. I can tell it still bothers you with how vitriolic your words are, so maybe its best to abstain from judgement of the entire work via one instance (of some weird ghost guy lol) due to your inherent bias of childhood trauma or whatever it is that's eating you alive. Either way, regardless of all of that, the fact of the matter is the girl DID turn her back on her flesh and blood, and she's facing the consequences of her actions in the world she resides. Her being a (fictional) child is of no concern to the scary monsters, much like real life. I think it's a wonderful allegory that no matter what happens or what mistakes you make, you must take personal responsibility to do better in the future, in this case that would be saving her cousin from the monsters but in real life it might be something as simple as moving on from past slights and not letting them poison future endeavors.
Best wishes!
Hey I’m going to chime in here and say I believe you are 100% correct. I got angry the second Charon started yelling at Sally. It’s odd because the game almost admits why it is being stupid and ridiculous, but unless there is a massive section skipped over, it doesn’t seem to ever explore that part further and ends with Emily being a brat and Sally being a hero in ways that are never even touched upon.
What Sally did to Emily was one moment of childish weakness. It was not good but no where near the catastrophic sin the game and Emily make it out to be. That one moment of her being a jerk, which was the only instance as far as we can tell and apparently one of the only times she had even seen her cousin since the move back, is being treated as more weighty than a ten year old spending MORE THAN A WEEK BY HERSELF searching a town after Emily’s own parents: the ones who should have been noticing what had been happening to Emily and taking care of and helping her, gave up and just started blaming a child for their own lack of responsibility.
I mean what kind of twisted mind set causes parents to blame a child because their daughter ran off (which they don’t even know for sure, she didn’t leave a note and easily could have been kidnapped) because of stress from bullying they did nothing to intervene with? Clearly the mindset that raises a child that can hold a grudge over one single incident that is not even effected by seeing her cousin show up after a week in a hellscape to save her. It takes Emily spurning Sally twice and getting more and more traumatized before she actually is grateful that her child cousin came to save her from the mess she got herself into at a risk to her own life and in the stead of any single adult in the town who should have gotten off their butts to check the woods or old version of the town.
I honestly don’t know what makes me madder about the game. The fact that Charon yells at Sally for not being able to save Emily before the giant takes her (when it sounds like grandpa had been reinforcing the negative feelings in Emily for the whole time they were there), the fact that they hand wave and ignore Sally’s very real objection to everyone blaming her and leaving her to do an adult’s job and not giving one thought to her feelings or safety or the fact that she’s apparently bullied almost as bad as Emily if she’s being chased around by the little psychopaths the parents of the town refuse to raise, or the ham-fisted in blurting out of how Sally only did this because she felt guilty because their parents whole family blamed her and how she’s just totally bad and selfish. Even if that was the bad end it’s still a bit much. Especially since grandpa Charon never seems to bother telling her how to save them both as he’s also a crappy adult who is fine swapping Emily and Sally’s lives.
Sorry this devolved a bit but I also had parents/other adults who checked out halfway through raising us and as the eldest was often in the spot where my childhood was pushed aside with the expectation of me filling in their role. The amount of anxiety and inability to relate to others your own age this causes creates gaps that I still haven’t managed to fill in. Sally ends this game a freaking saint for taking on all that for a cousin who doesn’t seem to ever acknowledge that she’s being a bit unfair.
if this fantastic game was made into a movie it would be cool in my eyes (this game made me feel sorry for Emily)
Another brilliant video by the only channel that I actively want to watch.
Thanks a ton for the amazing content Harry!!!
If I may be so bold, perhaps the channel could even extend the coverage of material to filmography as well? Certain horror films (or even beyond!) may present good pieces to pick apart, and a fresh mindset for yourself! - just figured I'd send out a suggestion :)
There's a channel called FoundFlix which already kinda does a thing like this.
I'd be difficult to do this as well.
Movies plot explainations, especially horror stuff is a very hard market. Harry is very much a frontrunner in this scene so much better off doing this
love the comic book design of this game....really remind me of W.I.T.C.H. Comic Book
Dear Gaming Harry,
Greetings from Boston. Care to do a lore and order video on The sinking city, I'm positive the oakmont natives, insumounters and newcomers of your members will love it.
Yours Truly,
Charles Reed
P.I.
P.S love your content.
The game design looks amazing.
Emily was basically me. I had a great relationship with my grandpa who was the father I never had and needed in my life. He was there when I was getting bullied and made the worst days better. He passed when I was 10 I was devastated. I shut down and the bullying got worse. Im better now but the hurt is still there.
Damn this tugged at my heart strings.
Do we know who Charon is/ie the green eyed entity? It took the shape of their grandfather, and a dog for another trapped person, and a loved one from another trapped person. Is it literally the figure from Greek mythology or something else entirely? As the place manifests the evil creatures from the fears of those trapped, the green eyed creature seems to take the form of loved ones they lost and tries to help them. I wonder why it's trying to help them? Maybe it's some sort of guardian trying to help any trapped in that otherworld place.
I have a question, who or what is the old guy exactly? we know the mountain is evil (or supposely evil) who eats the negative emotions of people. but there was a common threat through the notes that there was always a loved one with green glowing eyes to try and guide them out of it. for the kids it was their grandfather but for one of the minors it was a friend of his. it shows for whatever reason this being is different from the rest of the creatures created by this curse. it begs the question of why and how. i do believe i've heard it might be the actual sprits of the love ones but that just begs more questions then answers.
The answer in the name of the old man charon in Greek mythology their a boatman the guided the dead from the world of the living to the world of the dead charon is charon the car is the boat and the ticket is the coin that is used for passage on charon boat
@@michaelliggett1622 huh. not sure thats it but that does make a lot of sense.
I really want this game to be remade as a 16 so it can be more dark like little nightmares and with a higher budget because I really enjoyed playing it and I feel like it would get more attention if it had these changes.
cool
can you do story and lore Welcome to the Game 1 and 2 ty =)
Why did I think it said GYAT explained
Please can you explain the beast inside
Ahh i see. So Postal Dude is the black haired girls dad. Thats why the good spirit took that form to comfort her to help save them
Alan Wake?!!!!!
Do you remember me saying it was also like Silent Hill 2
(Though now you say it, your right)
Small town in Maine, bullying, parallel dimensions and monsters, this game surely have some Stephen King inspirations.
The school they go to is called 'Bachman' which was one of Stephen King's earlier pennames
❤❤❤
Can you do a deep dive on the fame Til' mornings light it an old game taken off play store
This game looks like a more child friendly silent hill and that's pretty neat
I am cry-ing
I personally think that the story was good enough for a timeline not to be necessary.
Charon... As in Charon, the ferryman of the Underworld in Greek Mythology?
Yep it seems that what they were going for the car is boat the ticket is the coin
THE MIMIC
💚
This game reminds me of Onirism. I don't know why at all besides a little girl main protagonist or something but they have a similar vibe to me. (In a good way). This was such a nice story (well, lol, spooky but well done ) The spider creeper in the arcade was so fukin terrifying
❤
Ive only just noticed, Harry cant do games that are too openworld or it becomes incoherent which is why all of his lore and orders, explained videos are tidally locked on games with a fixed streamline of main characters/an ending
I was thinking of Elden Ring but now i understand its impossible
Lol. ‘Can’t’. He probably could, but open world games are about 70+ hours long. I doubt it’s a question of incoherence. He did Days Gone and TLOU2, which were pretty coherent
if you are interested in someone who does get into the weeds of games like elden ring, then i highly recommend vaatividya! even now he's continuing to produce high quality videos centered around the vast lore of the game, as well as tidy little shorts that cover smaller aspects and characters. he has also covered the other fromsoft game quite extensively, if any of those pique your interest, too. all around top notch content creator that i can't recommend enough!
@@Discombobulate453 "probably could" see how you had to cover your arse from the reality. It wouldn't be coherent
@@Darkfyyre I also recommend "The Brother's Code", probably shouldn't recommend other peoples channels on another channel but they are seriously great and make fantastic long and interesting videos. Just like our fellow gamer Harry
Can you try PREY (2017) ?
Sure could use some Lore and Order
Here's another good lord and Order video you can do do you want about white day a labyrinth named School
I don't really see what's confusing. Seems pretty straightforward
American McGee's Alice Series
Please
If you jiggle your phone, when the text pieces are on the screen, it looks like they're moving.
have no Idea WHY the kids were mean to Emily.
Was it because her family moved back in or what?
i just finshed the game i choosed to save emily
This game is fucking sick
Dam!!!
Kinda reminds me of my experiance
So the upsidedown Bethelwood still exist at the end
i can see why stadia failed. they couldn't be bothered to animate the cut scenes.
Stadia didn’t make the game lol. Stadia failed because they tried to make people buy full price games which people then didn’t actually own. They were in the cloud.
yea how long until the woketards at google try it again do ya think?@@GamingHarryYT
As someone who got bullied, never dealt with the 'trauma' (I am unsure to catalog that way), and end up consiering offing myself.
Lads, it is a b-tch, but it is possible to overcome that feeling of unworthiness, it is a slow process, but it is possible.
I know those numbers listed are supposed to help, but I’ve tried both the AUS numbers on seperate occasions for suicidal thoughts and they were awful.
Definitely give them a try, but if anyone needs it I’m in a good headspace now to offer an ear ✨
I honestly think it's more of silent hill x hello neighbor
Harry is your channel monetized yet?
OMG can we get an indie western game that's NOT about dEpReSioN for once...
People live in Maine?
