Goliath the Soothsayer is a mystery game stretched across multiple media platforms. It's a browser-based casual game, of the point-and-click escape-the-room genre. It's tied in with a band's new album, The Mars Volta's latest. And the game is based in Amazon.com's page for the album (towards the bottom of the first screen).
It's a well-done horror game, if unsurprising. There are sudden shocks, grim ambient noises, clues pointing to evil doings. The images and sound are very nicely done.
