Demo Version Overview

This demo offers approximately 2–3 hours of gameplay:

You’ll control Vyke, the goblin protagonist, as he explores the first major area — The Cathedral of the Nameless God. Along the way, you can unlock up to 7 unique NPC storylines, learn multiple active skills, and combine them with powerful charms to create a thieving style that suits you.

This version also features the employee system and order management mechanics. You’ll need to wisely allocate your earnings to prepare for debt collectors, who come knocking every four days.

Goblin Vyke is a 2D side-scrolling game that blends stealth heist gameplay with shop management. You are Vyke the Goblin, a thief who infiltrates dungeons to steal treasures by night, and a merchant who sells the loot for massive profits by day. You shall master your stealth skills, cheat death to snatch the Demon King's secrets, while simultaneously recruiting employees and expanding your franchise to grow your business. Ultimately, rise from a penniless, poor goblin to an influential black market tycoon!

Search, Steal, and Evacuate

The Gold Dungeon is fraught with danger, and as a small, frail goblin, you cannot win a straight fight against any foe – but you have other choices. Throw a Coinbeetle disguised as a bell to lure enemies; Set Nap Traps to put guards soundly to sleep; Use Smoke Mimic to cover your escape. Utilize various skills and items to outsmart and "kite" your enemies.

Deadly dungeon traps? Turn the tables by leading enemies into the traps, leading them to a "Deadly Hide and Seek". Explore hidden areas and discover untold secret treasures. Every path might lead to an unexpected surprise – or fatal danger. Steal weapons right from enemies' hands, grab the goodies from treasure chests, and complete a magnificent heist right under the nose of the Grim Reaper!

Cunning Theft or Brute Bandit?

Upgrading your talent tree doesn't just enhance your exploration and survival abilities; it also unlocks different playstyle builds! Go for the Agile Rogue Build: Use Grappling Hook skills to flee pursuits and Shadow Rewind for rapid repositioning, leaving enemies utterly confused. Prefer the Cunning Trickster Build: Toss coinbeetles to manipulate the enemy's position or play dead until the coast is clear. Or choose the Aggressive Brute Build: Leap from heights to Stun enemies, use an Over-the-Shoulder Throw to knock out a group, or even stand in front of a guard and grab their treasure right before they attack!

Backpack space is limited, with various items and loot occupying different-sized slots. Will you use the item to boost your survival, or leave it intact to sell for profit? Manage your inventory wisely, explore item combos, and make crucial choices between risk and reward.

Roll the Dice, Inflate the Price, but Don't Oversell

The treasure you stole last night must be sold for a golden price! The rules are simple: repeatedly roll the dice and pair it with the appropriate sales talk to increase the customer's Persuasion Value. Convince the customer, and you can sell the goods for up to three times the original price. But be careful: if you exceed the target number on the dice, the customer will be instantly enraged!

Display collectible figures in your shop to help you sell. Remember: Your eloquence determines your wealth. Bombastic sales pitches, combined with the right collectibles and a bit of luck, will make customers willingly empty their wallets for your black market goods at extraordinary prices.

From Debt-Ridden Boy to Black Market Tycoon

The story begins with you as a little goblin drowning in debt. But as your thieving skills improve and your shop business booms, the tide begins to turn. Recruit employees with different attributes: the "Man of Steel" never falls down, the "Storage Expert" carries bigger bags, the one who is "Frail as a Reed" is permanently gone upon death, and the "Lazy" employees who bring back very little. Expand your influence by opening franchises. Powerful figures will seek you out, asking for your assistance. The Adventurers' Guild, a Mysterious Organization... Everyone wants to win you over. Eventually, even the Demon King of the Golden Dungeon will take notice of you, hoping you'll become her new spokesperson!
