Kobold Adventure

Revision as of 02:10, 10 December 2019 by Looney Toons (talk | contribs) (fixed unnecessary pothole)

Kobold Adventure is an adult text-based adventure game written by TinkeringTurian, originally released in 2017. Like the title says, you play the role of a small kobold in a medieval fantasy world, filled with humans and various anthros, where kobolds officially have no rights and are seen as a lesser species. As a result, you resorted to thievery in order to survive. Over the course of a few months, despite your best efforts, you've racked up a significant amount of debt to the Three-Tailed Rat Clan, an organized gang of ruthless thugs. Out of desperation, you decided to steal from one of the king's highly secure money transports, and managed to succeed.

"Kobold Adventure is an adult, text-based choose your own adventure game. You will assume the role of a kobold, and try to survive in a hostile medieval fantasy world. You will face many trials and tribulations before the end, and your life will not be an easy one. Can you make it out alive, or will you fall prey to the many dangers of this world?"

From there, a whole world of possibilities open up. This is where your adventure begins.

As of 2019, the game has over 700,000 words worth of content and is still in development, with updates at least once every two weeks.

It can be found and played online here. Be mindful that the game is highly NSFW at times, and certain sections have NSFW images as well, though you do have the option to hide them in the settings. This includes but is not limited to: sex, rape, drugs, prostitution, extortion, violence, death, gore, filth, slavery, and hand-holding.

In accordance with site rules, please do not directly link NSFW pages.

Tropes used in Kobold Adventure include:
  • Adventure Game
  • All There in the Manual: A good chunk of the characters that you interact with have their own character sheets that entails a list of their stats and other information such as their backstories and details about the game's setting. There is a warning that some of the information may contain spoilers, along with certain things that the player may not be able to find through the game itself.
  • Bittersweet Ending: One of the endings of the Farmer's Maid route. After being sold to a farm, being branded and having your teeth and claws forcibly removed (and changed into a girl if you were a guy before you were sold), and forced to work as a maid for around a year, you can decide to stay with Falco and raise your baby together as a happy family. In the process, however, Falco's father dies under suspicious conditions and his mother moves back with her parents grieving for his death, leaving the two all alone with their child. Considering the stigma against kobolds, they will also inevitably face heavy discrimination in the future.
  • Everyone Is Bi: Almost every sex scene in the game is available regardless of what gender you are with only two exceptions so far: the blue kobold you meet in the third morning of the Varanar route (who will always be the opposite gender of you) and Falco in the Farmer's Maid route (since you were changed into a girl if you were a guy before you were sold off)
  • Fantastic Racism: Plentiful, to put it mildly.
  • Gender Bender: If you're willing to pay the coins, you can buy potions at the various shops to make yourself more masculine or feminine, some of them even turning you into a different gender outright. With the right potions, you can also become a cuntboy.
  • Interactive Fiction
  • Jerkass: A few of the characters definitely qualifies. You can play one as well if you so choose.
  • Multiple Endings: Currently, the game has 23 different endings, around half of which are bad ends that involve you dying in some manner.
  • Schmuck Bait: You can meet Cassidy, the owner of the breeding farm, inside of the barn. Upon meeting her, the first thing she'll do is offer to have sex with you even though you just met. Guess what happens if you choose to accept on the spot.
    • Another instance of this can be seen in the fourth morning of the Varanar route if you choose to shop around. Amongst the various items you can purchase is a pregnancy potion that the salesman claims will, well, make you pregnant. How much does the potion cost? 330 coins. With none of the other items being nearly as expensive. Yeah, totally not a scam.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Ruby is this if you return her locket and your charisma stat is average or below.
