Mechanics

Released for PS4, Golem is an action adventure game, in which you play as a bedridden boy. Using the virtual reality technology you can observe the events from the young hero’s perspective and do only what he is able to do. That’s why all interactions with the world must be done by the hands of the stone minions.

Initially, you can only create small golems, which can barely move around the room. In time, however, your power grows and the creatures you bring to life get bigger and stronger. Eventually, you can go out of the room and explore the world outside, most of which are ruins of a great city.

While controlling golems you roam about the world, gather useful items, solve puzzles and fight with enemies.
