Goblins Demise
This is the story of Goblins seeking refuge while their world is falling apart. You have to make many sacrifices. Your home, your things and maybe even your relatives - or can you get everyone into safety?
We would describe it as a survival text adventure with point and click elements.
Initially made for Ludum Dare 43 but it received a quite a few additions and improvements after that.

Makes me happy to hear that and this might be the only video of it on Youtube :D
Any tips on how to get everyone to survive while taking the sentimental items (Necklace, Book, and Plushy)?
Lol ive taken all 3 of them and survived.My best tip is to take the medicine.My strategy was just to give supply till they started to become sick and then as soon they become hungry or thirsty again give them it.I somehow survived by only giving them food,so they were constantly thirsty but it was compensated by having them not hungry.It did not made them sick.Most of my run ended by having them die of illness.So if the illness don't become worst.To actually die of hydration,it would take a while and you will escape faster than it.I am not tealing you to not give you the other supply cause yes i died of dehydration or hunger a few times,I am just saying that if you have one stat constantly full,it wont kill you.I did survive with all famely members but here my rewe on the most usefull memeber to the useless.
Snotch is the most useful,they have a lot of events that can acquire food or water.Also the book is not useless,it has a specific use in a event were only snotch can enter combat against a animal and the book allows him to know how to fight against a griffon.And yes he has high speed but he is still more useful than Muddlon cause only one of the family member has high enough dex for certain
Muddlon is very similar to snotch in terms of opportunists with his high strength and sped.The reason that he is lower is that i have no idea what the speed does and he is replaceable with glort slightly lower strength.
Glort is just slightly less strong than glort in strengthéHe can replace Muddlon.
Spatch,they have high speed wish i have no idea what it does and intelligence is only used in only 1 event and the price for the event are pretty useless.You die from injury very fast yes but you get injured very rarely and you better just to end the run.The crossbow is slitly more useful,but you can use spatch for those events and you will win almost guaranty.
Damn, reading all that and seeing how deep you got into the game really makes me wanna continue working on it or at least on some kind of a sequel :D
I hope I can get to that after my current project.
Also as far as i know,the flint and still and axe are useless to or their events are just really rare.
Also the knife has a use in a few events and it is sometimes very op.So i would suggest,knife,medicine food and water.
Thanks for all the advice
Your welcome
If anyone need it,i made a video of a run with useless items and a complete family.
Here the video
The music works very well, do you have the particular song name?
No, sorry. I renamed the file and sadly don't remember..
lets go I escaped with all 4 family members, and it only took me 11 attempts
This was soo much fun, i spent 2 hours playing & trying all the options.
i want more!!!!
I need more!
I need me a sequel <3
Thank you for all the nice words :). We have been working on an update but my ongoing health issues keep me from working on it. I hope I can get back to it soon.
Could you make a part 2 plz. I would buy it.
Glad you liked it! Did you get them all to survive? :)
We were working on an update with some new biomes and events and a few improvements. Seeing that theres still interest makes me wanna get that update ready, very soon ;).
Yeah I managed to save them all a few times, but it's definitely a challenge! It takes a few tries and learning from experience helps, and it still takes some amount of luck. I've found the best items are Medicine, Food, Bandages and Water, and it's better to take the mountains because it's safer and you're more likely to find water there (from my experience). At first I always brought the bow because I thought it was better to be able to hunt and fight rather than just take some food, but I feel like the success rate with the bow isn't high enough to justify it and it's better to rely on luck. I also took more "useless" items to see if they had an use that wasn't obvious, like the book or the plushie, but they turned out to really be useless. Taking only useless stuff and making bad choices gave me an ending where none of them survived :(
I'm really excited to hear that there will be an update! Thank you so much for making this amazing game! "Plain plains, pain in my veins" has been stuck in my mind for some time, now.
Thanks a lot for the in depth feedback! It really makes me happy to see someone being that excited about the game :). Some of the useless items will definitely get some more uses in the next update.
And we will try to make it a bit longer with more possible paths. That should also make all the decisions more impactful.
I want them all to be happy
i pick out my four items but it keeps giving me the wrong thing
I cant seem to reproduce that bug. With which items does it happen exactly?
i picked the rock for fire, food, and axe
Uh, maybe you are just missing an overview of the items other than the consumable ones? Or did you actually get something else instead?
Really, really great! The dialogue for once you lose a goblin or two is h e a r t w r e n c h i n g "snotch misses glort so much it hurts" ugh!!! So good - this game gets you to feel for these unfortunate goblins right off the bat. The art is incredible as well.
Glad you liked it!
Currently working on adding more random events : )
Dude I love goblins! I was glad that after a couple of tries I was able to help them all escape :)
Yeah they can be so cute :D. Nice to hear that you enjoyed it.
I definitely plan to get another update out one day! I guess it primarily needs more content.
Love it
Happy to hear that :)
better than Lord of the Rings! 10/10
