The verdict

A pure, unforgiving fantasy stealth game with a charismatic goblin and strong level design, but janky and repetitive. Skip it if you want combat, polish or varied levels.

Great for

Patient stealth fans who like Thief-style play, save-scumming and a sarcastic goblin hero

Main risk

Clunky ledge controls, erratic AI and a second half of reused levels can make it a frustrating slog

What players love

Engaging story with twists

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews

“it makes you anticipate what is happening, you feel as if you have already cracked the code for what will happen next in the story but then it just continues to pull you by the nose with another twist.”

Pure, committed stealth gameplay

“It is also an actual stealth-game not one of those, you can sneak but if you get caught you can just wipe out the entire map games”
