But wait! Before you start I’ll have to give some exposition on this project. The idea for this came from when I saw the popularity Katawa Shoujo, a visual novel. I haven’t actually played the game, but what interested me was the idea of a visual novel is. Essentially visual novels are just Choose Your Own Adventures. It got me thinking that hey you know what, making a CYOA is definitely doable for me. I could make the bare minimum of what counts as a game easily. Also, I was also interested in experimenting with a dynamic experience after playing Alpha Protocol.

As for the end result, I’ll be honest it’s very amateur. I’m not a very god writer, so the writing is kind of bad. For the art I was trying to make it sort of look like quick sketches, sort of like the hero is quickly drawing down what they are seeing, but the pictures aren’t amazing. Also, you can kind of ignore the deaths, since they are basically a joke. And it’s possible for you to go in an endless loop… but maybe that’s a metaphor. But you know what, I thought it was fun to make and I learned a lot while making it.

You say your farewells to your new found friends and start your trek home.

The murder of Logstin’s king allows the goblins to rebuild their forces to take on Logstin’s army. Eventually they grow big enough to capture Logstin. Human survivors are given mercy, but the tensions between humans and goblins are forever escalated.

THE END

You slide down the tunnel, right into a spike trap.

You are dead.

You greet the goblin king informing him right away of Logstin king’s. You show Logstin king’s royal cup as evidence. The goblin king tells you that it sadly has no reward, but you have earned the title of permanently being an ally and friend to the goblin people.

Say goodbye, go home

Attack goblin king

You eventually lose your way and find yourself lost. You are stopped in front of two tunnels. One goes up, the other goes down.

Go up

Go down

You arrive at Rograth. The goblin king is somewhere in the cavernous maze.

Enter Rograth

As you walk forward you step on a trigger plate that was hidden by the darkness of the cave. Above you, a bucket of acid poured over you.

You are dead.

You retrace your steps and eventually find the goblin king.

The goblin king greets you, but looks deeply concerned. It reiterates the situation between the goblins and the humans. It adds that since they were driven from the surface; they have little access to food and water. The goblins could easily die by starvation if the humans garrison them out. The goblin king tells you the only way for them to survive would be to severely damage Logstin somehow, and the easiest way to do that would be by killing Logstin’s king. By weakening them, it will allow the goblins more time to recuperate and fight back.

Agree to kill Logstin’s king, travel to Logstin

Attack goblin king

You arrive at Rograth. Your target, the goblin king, is somewhere in that labyrinth of a cave.

Enter Rograth

You quickly find yourself completely lost. You are stopped in the middle of a tunnel. You can keep going forward, or retrace your steps backward.

Go forward

Go backward
