Look long enough, and the boogeymen and goblins will come out to play..."

The Goblin is a ~1000 word psychological horror visual novel, starring a nameless, genderless protagonist and their reflection. Is the thing in the mirror you, or something more sinister...?

This was really cool! Liked how the new dialogue based on options chosen followed with the rest of the conversation no matter what was chosen! Rlly cool stuff! The artstyle is also cool, love that green grungy look, makes it all the more eerie. The music added to the atmosphere perfectly as well adding to the horror! Epic little game

thank you for playing!! :D glad you enjoyed, our team worked really hard on it
