Sylvio seems like quite an interesting proposition: a horror game that has you recording spooky messages from beyond the grave in order to unravel their mysteries. Unfortunately, the finished product is neither scary nor compelling.

Sylvio puts an emphasis on atmosphere, creating horror more through storytelling and exploration than a true sense of danger. It is one of those titles that makes great use of sound and as such is best experienced in a dark room with an ideal audio situation (headset or surround sound). When the game is played this way, it is an interesting, creepy experience that horror fans should enjoy despite some of the game's limitations.
Karl writes for P&L: "If you’re looking for something to occupy you for a few nights (approximate playing time 10-15 hours) then I would definitely recommend taking a journey into Juliette Waters’ world and helping her on her quest to solve why the spirits aren’t passing into the afterlife."
I played this on PC. What a boring game...
