Our take on Sylvio 2
The flooded setting and twenty islands may suggest a lengthy open-world experience, but the stated gameplay time is 6 hours. Exploration supports the investigation, while the main experience remains a short atmospheric horror story without enemy pursuit.
What is Sylvio 2?
Sylvio 2 places players in a quiet, atmospheric horror experience viewed through Juliette Waters’ eyes.
She awakens inside a 1970s apartment entombed beneath earth after a landslide, then relies on devices for recording ghostly phenomena to get out. After reaching Walter, a boat-company owner, Juliette takes his vessel across the submerged scenery of Saginaw Park in search of Jonathan, her missing boyfriend. Exploration includes abandoned buildings, sunken homes, and twenty islands spread across the game’s central waters. A tool for examining recorded video and audio exposes concealed communications and offers clues for environmental interactions and advancement. The campaign is divided into nine stages and takes about 6 hours to complete. It avoids pursuing foes and sudden scare effects.
