Kobold Crawl
The Maze Builders of Kreik have tasked you with seeing how deadly their latest labyrinth is.
Content Warning: Descriptions of gruesome deaths. No sex or swearing.
Controls
This is a multiple choice text roguelike. In addition to clicking an option you can use numbered keys (1-9) to select options or use Space / Return keys to select the 1st option.
What to Expect
- Can be completed in less than half an hour.
- Does not save progress.
- 33 rooms to discover - if you restart you will only visit fresh rooms until it runs out.
- Ask the guard at the entrance of the labyrinth if you want some tips.
This uses a lot of content from a previously shelved project called Kobold Dungeon Tester, though all of the rooms have been re-written to support the new rules and story in this adventure.

Ah sweet, an NSR text adventure! This was a lot of fun.
Cool game. Maybe make a 3d adventure version or ask someone to, because it's a BEAUTY!
I wanted to learn how to use inklewriter and looking for examples I found this. Absolutely fab! So much fun and the humour was great, though I don't know why rhyming gets so much hate!
Very fun game!
You left the labyrinth with:
3 stamina points.
23 gold coins.
2 golden apples.
An all-labyrinths VIP pass.
A stone.
A lucky glass eye.
A blue-shifted falconsloth feather.
The name of the wind.
A pinch of salt.
And was enlightened 12 times.
A good and fun little game. Hope to see more!
This was such a cool game to play! I like that there were some rooms that you could pass through without luck and some that needed luck. This was very calming to play. Thank you for making this! <3<3<3

Thank you for playing.
Awesome upgrade to Kobold Dungeon Tester! Because I'd feel wrong without making at least one annoyingly pedantic note, there's a typo in the library room with the Get Rich Quick book (it says "togeher" in one spot when it should say "together").
Seriously though, I love this
This is delightful! And of course I forgot to copy my accomplishments before closing the tab.
I did grab a chip off the old block and was quite pleased to have found the Name of the Wind, though.
You left the labyrinth with:
5 stamina points.
20 gold coins.
(5 of them are pixelated.)

And was *** 9 times.
really curious about what'd have happened if I'd gone into the click room again. the mechanic of not revisiting rooms is quite nice, respectful of player time!
