Reception

Goetia received an aggregate score of 79/100 on Metacritic for the PC version.[1] Courtney Ehrenhofler of Adventure Gamers rated it 5/5 stars, calling it "beautifully crafted and intricately complex", and the artwork "gorgeous", but criticizing the game's lack of a hint system.[2] Dejan Stojilovic of PLAY! Magazine rated the game 8.5/10, praising the graphics and "excellent background music", but also remarking that the lack of hints made the game cruel to beginners, and may result in them quitting the game.[3] David Soriano of IGN Spain rated the game 7.7/10, saying that it stands out for the quality of its writing, but criticizing its heavy difficulty, which requires the player to use pen and paper to take notes.[4]

Jon Cousins of Nintendo Life rated the game's Switch version 7/10 stars, calling it "flawed, yet engrossing".[5]
