What it is
Golem is a puzzle adventure from Longbow Games, released for Windows on May 29, 2018. It follows a young girl and a shape-shifting golem exploring the ruins of an ancient tower, where they solve puzzles and reactivate dormant machinery. The story begins in a drought-stricken village beside a tower whose old waterworks have long fallen silent. After the girl discovers a glowing orb in the caves below, images appear on the cavern walls and a sealed entrance opens, prompting the pair to explore the structure.
The game spans 10 levels, from underground caverns to high turrets above the desert. The girl and golem use different abilities to cross damaged areas and tackle the tower’s puzzles. The golem can develop through five forms, each with new abilities. Steam features include single-player, achievements, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and partial controller support.
