Our take on The Golem
The sticking point is a puzzle that remains unsolved after careful thought. With no timer or fast-reaction demands to change the pace, players who need to complete every challenge may hit a wall when a layout proves too difficult.
What is The Golem?
The Golem is a puzzle game about pushing blocks through challenging puzzles.
Players take the role of a small golem and can spend time thinking through each problem: fast reactions are not required, and there is no timer. Exploration is not needed, and the game does not include secrets to discover. The puzzles may be difficult enough that some players do not overcome all of them. The game treats taking time with a difficult problem as worthwhile, whether the accomplishment is large or small.
