Description

Goliath Depot is a door-slamming 2D arcade platformer taken straight from the early 80's. Close all doors, kick the enemies and rack up a high score in 4 different worlds. Are you good enough to lift the curse of the Goliath Depot?

The game is set in a distopian world where the Goliath Corporation is the #1 store chain in the world even though nobody knows how they got there. You play as George, an average Joe working his night shift at the Goliath Depot warehouse when suddenly, on a stormy night, he notices suspicious blue doors appearing all over the complex. Quick, he has to close them all and alert the authorities at the HQ before it gets out of control !

History

Goliath Depot's development started out as a joke challenge on Twitch!

Vidvad Games, also known as SuperMegaDav on the streaming platform, is a former speedrun world record holder of the infamous Hotel Mario video game. One day, he decided to challenge himself to remake the first level of Hotel Mario from scratch in less than 12 hours using the Godot Engine. It was a success!

The foundation of the game was then reworked to be a spiritual sequel that eventually became Goliath Depot. It was developed in 6.5 months from June to December 2023.
