Based on a true story from the mighty Mars Volta, Leffler Web Design in conjunction with Universal Records and Rodriguez Lopez Productions presents "Goliath The Soothsayer" - a tale which follows a supernatural mystery in the point-n-click style of the horror-pioneering flash game "Exmortis".

After the mysterious disappearance of your brother, you had been appointed to tend to his estate. But from the moment you entered his house, strange inexplicable things began to happen. And then one morning you woke up locked in the attic, held captive by a malevolent force. Work your way through the mystery behind your brother's disappearance and try to escape the fate that befell him months earlier.

If you like the game, then support the Mars Volta by ordering their album "The Bedlam in Goliath" from Amazon.com

"flawless."

date: February 7, 2010

I loved the graphics. I liked how to find the codes like the clock and notes. Genius. I felt though that it could have been longer. More monsters. Maybe learn more about the story on the love triangle instead of reading boring emails on the odd events happening to the brother. I feel as if the only person who may take the 'bad' ending would be considered a lazy player. Despite it not being a longer game I'll be nice and give you a 9/10 and 5/5. :)

"A true story?"

Just letting everyone know, the "Mars Volta" is a prog latio-jazz-rock fusion band. So, you aren't scoring any points by telling me that they are chroniclers of some supernatural truth. honestly, you should have said "Based on a bad acid trip had by the lead singer for the Mars Volta"

"Really?"

date: January 26, 2010

So in the process of trying to escape from an attic, apparently the main character has decided that he is only going to escape through the obviously supernaturally sealed door instead of using a fucking rope with a hook on the end (it couldn't get much more convenient) to leave through an ordinary attic window? Also, the haunted house schtick of spirits appearing, moaning/yelling and disappearing again isn't scary, especially when one of them is arbitrarily Jesus in a house that is supposed to be possessed by Ouija spirits, it's more goofy than anything else.

If you don't rely so heavily on stuff jumping around corners or from behind curtains, played out religious iconography, and tedious morality play exposition you could turn this sort of thing into something worthwhile.

"It was okay."

date: January 22, 2010

I liked how realistic it was, you don't see many games in newgrounds like that. Did you take all these photos in your own house? lol, just wondering. Very interesting story, never heard of the story it was based off of though. The only issue I have is the use of all the different religous artifacts. That is to say, does the game imply that every religion has the power to bind evil and they are all right?
