Shadow of Goliath

Long after its makers vanished, Goliath still walks the sands. A relic of a forgotten age, its purpose has been buried beneath centuries of dust. Now, a lone wanderer approaches its shadow.

Shadow of Goliath is a short, third-person adventure inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, with PlayStation 1~2 inspired visuals and a colossal opponent.

Explore a vast desert, leap onto the giant’s fur, and climb its moving body to reach three vulnerable weak points. Manage your stamina, hold tight through violent shakes, and survive crushing stomps to bring Goliath down.

An ancient giant stands before you. Find your way to the top.

Damn, this looks absolutely amazing, but I can't play or rate a purely Windows downloadable exe

This game looks really good. I love games with giant 3d models. Also love the menu button sounds

The art style is very appealing, as is the sound design. But I found it a bit uncomfortable when the camera focuses on the giant, as it becomes somewhat jerky. It’s also quite difficult to die, since health regenerates rather quickly—most of my deaths were the result of falling from a height. I encountered an issue when trying to climb onto the gient from the side: the character would start to levitate in mid-air, which made it difficult to continue climbing upward. however, the sheer scale of the opponent is impressive and wonderful. The art style really sets the atmosphere. It was interesting. Thank you for your hard work!
