Even running on the Pixel the game controlled well with a controller (you need to plug it in at this time, so have a holder/attachment ready), and I saw very little in the way of visual bugs or frameskips. The 'gateway horror' was initially exclusive to Google's streaming service, Stadia, but shortly after the announcement of. I had the chance to test out Gylt running on a PC, a Google Pixel 3a, and a ChromeCast (the latter is the preferred method). Tequila Works' stylish horror, Gylt, is coming to other platforms 'soon'. It’s weird to think of how a game “runs” on Stadia, since it’s not technically hardware, but it is a new delivery system. ![]() Emily is a short young white skinned girl with short, messy blonde hair. ![]() It was most likely the constant bullying that caused her to get on the cable car in the first place.
