    I bought it on 90% sale for 0.99€ and it's still the worst game purchase I've ever done.

    Text is too small to be played on TV and the game relies 200% on the player reading tiny speech bubbles, ridiculous handwriting fonts and paper-thin lines on grimy textures. This game does not begin to be playable and I hope the developer could afford a Switch and TV sometime so they could learn    I bought it on 90% sale for 0.99€ and it's still the worst game purchase I've ever done.

This game does not begin to be playable and I hope the developer could afford a Switch and TV sometime so they could learn this and make proper games in the future.

    The story is about you being dead, your family being dead, your past life being in ruins and your house being full of demons. Not something I was expecting from age rating 7. Well I'm an adult and I still found this game offensively bad, I suppose no age rating could save this.    … Expand

    Это не игра - это кликалка по разным активным участкам экрана с целью прочитать очередной текст, который раскрывает мир и сюжет… раскрывал бы, если бы не отсутствие русского языка, а читать тут надо почти всегда:(
    Не знающих английский - не берите ни в коем случае, даже за 60 рублей по скидке, так как просто выкините деньги!

    The puzzles are very difficult. Sometimes it’s invigorating to solve them, but they usually take way too long to figure out. Often they feel contrived. They are not intuitive nor clever. You sometimes feel like you have to read the designer’s mind, the clues are that bad. The story line is the only thing that made me want to continue with it.

    With a mysterious narrative about an unsettling old manor and its inhabitants, Goetia feels like a classic point and click adventure, but it has many quality of life improvements, which makes it worthwhile for any fan of the genre.

    Goetia is a mixed bag. There are some wonderful moments in here such as the story, which certainly kept me going, and the visuals and soundtrack which do their best to keep you engrossed, are certainly impressive. It falls short, however, due to some of the overly difficult sections that can lead to many frustrating points in the game, which can then make it grow slightly tiresome. What this boils down to is simply that Goetia doesn’t find the perfect balance needed for a truly great point-and-click game. But there is certainly something there for true fans of the genre.

    Goetia is a flawed yet engrossing point-and-click-style adventure for those looking for a challenge as well as an interesting story. Aside from the lack of a hint system resulting in the odd infuriatingly obtuse puzzle, it's a bleak, beautiful experience. It’s certainly slow and more text-heavy compared to other titles in the genre on Nintendo Switch, but it’s well-crafted and worth a look.
