Golgotha

Released: 2/21/2023

Golgotha is a short first person horror game that delves deep into creeping fear and severe paranoia as you traverse through the sinister grounds of Black Waters Station. Along the way you will discover the horrors that lie within and ultimately disturb those who are not at rest. The lantern and dim lights will guide your way through the station as you explore and find your way towards the exit. There are multiple cutscenes to encounter and items to discover. Golgotha features no combat. This game focuses primarily on atmosphere and dread. The game's main features are realistic immersion, fantastic sound design and disturbing imagery throughout. Black Waters Station is a large vicinity, and it will require some exploring and searching to progress through the game. (Security Cards, Keys Etc.) In 1942, Black Waters Station was overcome by a toxic and poisonous fog that killed thousands of people as they slept in the tunnels and platforms of the station to escape the war. After the horrific ordeal the authorities closed the doors to Black Waters and sealed it off to the public. The bodies of those who perished were never exhumed and are still buried within the walls and tunnels of the station to this very day. Many people claim that Black Waters Station is one of the most haunted places in all of England, including Paranormal investigators and mediums who have all frequently withdrawn and passed on the opportunity to explore the Station as they suggest that it is far too dangerous and should be left alone and not be explored by anybody under any circumstances as it is home many malevolent spirts and pernicious spectres who still vacate within the station. To this day, Black Waters Station has been abandoned and undisturbed for over 78 years. Until now...
