Goetia

《英语四六级考试》

Overall Goetia is a good game. I liked it and the game was also the right length. Thing is didn't like: [list] [*] Some puzzles require knowledge not provided in game. [spoiler]I do not know piano notes.[/spoiler] [*] I am not deaf. But if you are one puzzle is impossible to solve for you. [*] For some reason the game always opened on my second monitor. [/list]

The word that comes to mind is astonishing. Gosh... this is, obscenely, exasperatingly obtuse and difficult. I've tried playing through twice, pouring out notes, scrutinising each area and so many details over and over... but despite getting far, both times I stopped. I'm a no hints kind of player; and after so many hours looping on feeling hopelessly stuck on one solve - then the next - the temptation had become so great to peep that I partially spoiled some solutions and just "noped!" out my playthoughs before the information could settle. See, I love point & clicks and puzzle games, and some rarer examples of them I think just deserve a sort of reverence to accept defeat. What I adore about Goetia is how the entire gameplay and puzzle set-up meshes so deftly with the rich atmosphere and themes permeating the game. You feel like a ghost returned from death, overwhelmed, stupefied, not knowing what to do or what to make of what's around. Even without completing it or concluding the story, for me this is one of the greats of the genre.

Готия (или Гоэтия) выделяется своим готическим (а как иначе) визуальным стилем и меланхоличным саундтреком, при этом она не пытается напугать игрока скримерами. За это ей отдельное спасибо от меня. Геймплей строится на поиске подсказок в записках и взаимодействии с окружением. Это ведь поинт-кликер и головоломка, кстати их сложность здесь на недосягаемом уровне, крайне высокая и порой несправедливая сложность. Посему приходиться пользоваться You-Tube прохождениями в этих тупых ситуациях. Почитал отзывы и вижу, что кто-то жаловался на баги, но я по крайней мере у себя не встретил. Игру бы не купил, а получил по бандлу (Humble Bundle) давным-давно. В целом любителям жанра можно посоветовать.

这主菜单的字体也太草书了吧，差点就没看出怎么开始新游戏了··· 游戏的主角是个会飞的灯泡？···哦···不···幽灵？ ~文本量看起来挺多的，反正俺看不懂~

It is more like a narrative puzzle game than a true PnC game. Keep this in mind. The game itself is quite hard. Puzzles are non-linear, your "inventory" can hold 1 item at a time, but still, if you like gothic horror novels, it is the right game for you. You are a ghost who tries to find out what happened in a mystical, eerie old manor. It is quite minimalist in nature, but it has its charm that keeps you coming back to find out more.

Only recommended for people who enjoy relying on game guides to solve nearly every puzzle

I have no idea if I liked this or not, in the end. The first 2/3s or so are really intriguing. I love the atmosphere. But that last 1/3... if there wasn't a walkthrough guide, I'd have given up. Not only are the puzzles really difficult, but also painfully tedious. I'm sure if there wasn't the guide I'd have missed them all together. So by the time I reached the end, I stopped caring. I just wanted it over with. That said, it's a beautiful game and worth checking out if you like point and click puzzles.

Bardzo dobra gra, najtrudniejsza łamigłówka/zagadek!
