# THWRT > The Goblin King WILL be thwarted. An indie game full of dark comedy about a goblin king in his quest for world domination. Gameplay includes old-school exploration and soft-locks that can prevent you from progressing because you are THWRT'ed. Do you dare? THWRT is a classic and short turn based RPG game. Embark as King Gobling, obviously, a goblin king on his quest for world domination. Recruit optional underlings and punish them if your heart desires. The game can be completed in under 20 minutes for speedruns, but you must learn the route and avoid being thwarted. Goblins! Monkeys! Pigs! And a golden bear! Discover a new world of tongue-in-cheek humor and criminal exploits. Collect all the golden idols to summon the golden bear! Pro-Tip: Dont forget to purchase a journal at the first shop for clues on how to find the idols. During combat, choose your abilities and destroy your foes! There are optional items and spells that can be purchased or unlocked throughout the journey. What THWRT offers: A short, classic, old-school rpg adventure. Simple game mechanics: A game about exploration. Much of the main world brings memories of point and click adventures from yester-year. A dark comedy tilt: Themes built around being the bad guy and having fun with it. The best hero/villian! What THWRT does NOT offer: A detailed guide A serious plot. No multiplayer. No holding hands.
