Here be Goblins

Here be Goblins is an erotic JRPG from Rickets that trades high-stakes drama for irreverent comedy, positioning you as Bloodnok—a sheltered protagonist suddenly thrust into a goblin-infested world after his magical sanctuary fails. Raised under the supervision of an AI mother and a talking dog named Barky, you've never faced real danger until now. The premise alone signals that developer Rickets is willing to lean into absurdity, and the game's tone reflects that sensibility throughout.

The combat system draws inspiration from classic JRPGs but streamlines mechanics to encourage light strategic thinking rather than grinding complexity. You'll explore an open world, interact meaningfully with NPCs (including the eponymous goblins), and uncover environmental storytelling as you progress. The gameplay loop balances resource management with discovery—there's room to experiment with the world around you, which suits players who value exploration and character interaction alongside turn-based encounters.

Rickets frames the adult content as integral to the game's comedic voice. Rather than treating erotic scenes as separate set pieces, they're woven into the narrative's awkward-situation humor and the clash between Bloodnok's sheltered upbringing and goblin culture. The balance between comedy and epic fantasy creates a lighthearted tone that doesn't take itself seriously—expect bawdy humor and intimate moments, but not graphic depictions that overshadow the story.

Technically, the game runs on RPG Maker and is available on Windows and Android. The Android build is experimental and may experience slowdown on older devices, though the developer actively supports bug reports via their Discord. At version 3.5, the game appears to be in active development with ongoing community engagement.
