The Goblin Tale is a monster-themed adult adventure from SC, built with Ren'Py and presented with animated 3DCG visuals. You play a goblin whose story is about surviving and avoiding enemies, while careful choices matter because wrong moves bring consequences. The game uses a sandbox structure and includes monster girl content.
The game is in public development with version v0.17, released on July 24, 2024. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. This update fixes a small bug, adds a new place and map tweak in Anya's village, introduces story for Anya, and continues scenes at Anya's mom's office. It also adds an early-morning event for Ilka in the protagonist's bedroom when the door is not locked. The darts mini-game was revisited: it no longer ends unless the player chooses, and hints appear after wrong moves.
