Silent Hill Ascension – Behind the Scenes July 11, 2023
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Many years ago I was one of the few players of a game called Majestic. In the game, I participated alongside an online community to solve a (fake) conspiracy. It released in episodic method, with each episode taking a few days in real time to solve all the puzzles and conclude the chapter of the story. Sadly, the game flopped and the servers shut down within months of finishing what was supposed to be the game’s first season. Twenty years later, the developers of an upcoming Silent Hill game look like they’re going to take a page from the online community playbook with Silent Hill Ascension.
If you’re like me after you saw the initial announcement of this game, you’re asking yourself, how will this work? IGN produced an exclusive look behind the scenes. Clear your schedule, they’re going to do it live.
Silent Hill: Ascension is coming later this year.

GYLT Released on PC and Consoles July 7, 2023

When Google Stadia first launched it had a grand total of ONE exclusive title, the independent story based platformer GYLT. The game has a unique art style and clearly told a story that was very personal to the development team. However, Stadia would not take off as quickly as Google expected and not much promotion was done for the game, despite the fact it was the only Stadia exclusive. After Stadia was shut down, I remember being heavily concerned about the status of GYLT, especially given the fact that it was such a cool game that risked being lost forever.
I’m happy to report that the game’s developer has announced GYLT has been rereleased for purchase on PC and consoles. Let’s take a look at the launch trailer!
GYLT is out now for PC, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
