Goetia is a point and click puzzle game where you play a glowing ball of light that rises up from the grave of a girl named Abigail, and spend your time trying to work out what happened to Abigail's family, and why Abigail's family home is abandoned.
Being a glowing ball of light has its advantages - you can pass through walls, for a start, though you soon encounter walls with demonic shields. And a demon.
This is an eerie, interesting and enjoyable game that will give between five to infinity of gameplay, depending on how good you are at puzzles, or how quickly you give in and cheat. It's a hard game, with no handy arrows pointing to where you should go next, but mostly logical puzzles that you can solve with a bit of work. I was very proud of myself for solving the typewriter translation! I cheated ruthlessly in other parts!
Recommended to fans to spooky point and click.
