Bio
I'll play anything. And maybe I'll write crappy reviews every now and then.
If I give a game 3 stars or more, that means game left me with more positive impressions/feelings than negative, anything with 2 stars or less is the opposite. 2,5 stars simply means the game left me equally bad and positive impressions.
I have a backlog of over 2000 games on steam and I'm waiting for backloggd to implement option to import steam games. For now, all my games in "Backlog" are from GOG that I don't own on Steam.

You don't see many games touch the topic of bullying and GYLT gets a big plus from me for doing so. The game nails the atmosphere, it's creepy and pretty at the same time, great use of environment (mannequins especially) to create tension. Emily's diary was sometimes painful to read due to experiencing bullying myself.
However, the gameplay is painfully average :( You have very simple stealth system with a couple tools to distract or keep your enemies at bay. The two most common enemy types are dumb and are mostly annoying than scary. The boss fights are pretty straightforward and easy too. Every now and then the game throws a simple puzzle at you to progress forward, usually with no enemies around to bother you (and that's for the better, given the enemies in this game).
It's hard to recommend due to gameplay, but I hope Tequilla Works can someday return to this topic with more thought out game.

It's not the level of Forza Horizon but damn, it's sad Ubisoft is killing this game permanently just like that.
You can tell from the get-go it's a one man project and there are way worse games on Steam. It's pretty average and the story is incoherent, I don't really see the connection with everything that happened on the island and in the flashbacks. It did got few screams out of me (but some were just cheap jumpscares).
