Friday the 13th might not seem super spooky in January, but developer Stroboskop is looking to give you a bit of a fright with the console release of Sylvio, the horror game where you go around recording ghost voices, hearing the eerie last words of the phantoms that haunt an abandoned family park.
Sylvio follows Juliette Waters as she records ghost voices around the park, following the sound of their words across the large open area. As she collects recordings of the phantom words, you'll have to help her unscramble what they say by shifting how the recording tape plays, speeding it up, slowing it down, or playing it backwards to find the hidden, creepy messages within.

There is some combat in the game involving a gun you can load with just about anything, firing oranges and nails across the landscape to clobber errant specters, but it's in listening to the eerie voices that Sylvio shows its power to frighten. The whispered words that only appear in snippets throughout tapes of noise will leave you unsettled and shaken, listening for the voices in the static of your own life afterwards.
Listening to creepy voices is a great way to utilize your Friday the 13th, right"

Sylvio is available for $12.99 on PS4 and Xbox One. For more information on the game and developer Stroboskop, you can head to the developer's site or follow them on YouTube and Twitter.
