Innocent until proven Gylty
Finally freed from the purgatory of Google Stadia exclusivity, Gylt is a title from RiME developer Tequila Works.

Review The Invisible Hours (PS4)
Whodunnit?
If the world is a stage and we are all players, then that means we must all simultaneously be the protagonists of our own stories, right?
