Here Be Goblins is an adventure game made by Rickets with the RPGM engine. You play as Bloodnok, who grew up inside a magical sanctuary under the care of an AI mother and a talking dog named Barky. After a crisis drains the sanctuary’s power, he must leave the walls and confront the surrounding goblin threat. The game uses two-dimensional CG visuals.
The current build is V251118, released on November 26, 2025, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows and Android in English without censorship. This update added a Kobold quest with three scenes, a Chex scene with two scenes including pregnancy variants, burglary mechanics, and a stealth minigame. It also introduced dating and gift systems for party members, plus one affinity scene for each of four members, and fixed several bugs.
Developer's description
Bloodnok has spent his entire life under the watchful care of his AI mother, a talking dog named Barky, and the protective walls of a magical sanctuary that has shielded him from the relentless goblin threat. But when a sudden catastrophe causes the sanctuary to lose its power, Bloodnok is thrust into the unknown, forced to venture beyond the walls and face the goblin menace head-on.

Demo V2
I’ve run into issues with the battle system and RPG elements due to plugin conflicts, so I’ve decided to replace all the plugins with the VisuStella packs, which are fully compatible and Android portable (supposedly). However, implementing these changes will take time, as I need to revise existing work to fit the new system. To avoid delaying the update, I’m releasing a second demo with simplified gameplay: all monsters are easily killable to eliminate grinding, and I’ve added two levers outside the protagonist’s house—one fully heals, rests, and feeds him, while the other advances the time of day. Hopefully, this will make the demo more playable.
