Sylvio Video Game Series

Adventure 11 October 2017

A sequel to the very well-received indie FPP horror adventure game. In Sylvio 2, you once again play as Juliette Waters, whose job is recording the voices of the dead. The game is set several days after the events of the first installment and takes place during the day. The gameplay focuses on exploring and solving puzzles, as well as occasional fights with the ghosts. The protagonist's equipment is similar to that from the previous game, although she also has a few new gadgets. Instead of the old Stelotron L-500 magnetic tape recorder, Sylvio 2 features a Stelotron L-1000, a 360-degree camera, which allows you to record not only the audio, but also the video of the ghosts. Since the recordings are essential to solving the game's puzzles, there is an option to browse through the recordings, slow them down or fast-forward them, as well as zoom in the video and scan it for ghost activity.

Adventure 05 June 2015

A horror-themed action-adventure game allowing us to assume the role of Juliette Waters, a woman whose occupation is recording the voices of spirits. Interestingly enough, Sylvio is a project of an independent developer, Niklas Swanberg. Our heroine travels to an abandoned amusement park, left to decay after a powerful storm had led to a landslide. It quickly turns out that the spirits living in the park are very vicious, and the whole area is under the influence of a mysterious curse. Juliette has to escape the cursed amusement park and discover the truth about the curse, staving off frightening dangers at the same time. The heroin has a few tricks up her sleeve – an unusual shotgun powered by pressurized air, able to propel any object that fits the barrel, and a very sensitive microphone that works on frequencies out of the range of the human ear. Such recordings can be saved and listened to in a customized speed, as the messages from the spirits are sometimes unintelligible. Aside from exploration and occasional combat, Sylvio often introduces puzzles solved in a typical adventure-game manner.
