It's A Steal! | Goblin Vyke: The Thief Tycoon (Dungeon Crawler + Shop Manager)

Goblin Vyke: The Thief Tycoon is game of two halves; one half where we run a little shop, and another half where we plunder dungeons in search of loot to sell in the little shop! As we battle to keep the family shop out of the hands of the evil bank manager, we need to steal to survive. Having donned the slightly creepy Mask of Greed, we venture into a dungeon in search of goodies. We loot treasure chests, find stuff dotted around and avail ourselves of items from fallen adventurers, but the dungeon is also a place of danger, and death is a very real (and very likely...) possibility. Back in the shop we need to haggle to get the best prices for our items, plus we need to deal with visiting characters and also world events. NOTE: This is a demo/playtest version of the game.

Goblin Vyke is a 2D side-scrolling game that blends stealth heist gameplay with shop management. You are Vyke the Goblin, a thief who infiltrates dungeons to steal treasures by night, and a merchant who sells the loot for massive profits by day. You shall master your stealth skills, cheat death to snatch the Demon King's secrets, while simultaneously recruiting employees and expanding your franchise to grow your business. Ultimately, rise from a penniless, poor goblin to an influential black market tycoon! Search, Steal, and Evacuate The Gold Dungeon is fraught with danger, and as a small, frail goblin, you cannot win a straight fight against any foe – but you have other choices. Throw a Coinbeetle disguised as a bell to lure enemies; Set Nap Traps to put guards soundly to sleep; Use Smoke Mimic to cover your escape. Utilize various skills and items to outsmart and "kite" your enemies. Deadly dungeon traps? Turn the tables by leading enemies into the traps, leading them to a "Deadly Hide and Seek". Explore hidden areas and discover untold secret treasures. Every path might lead to an unexpected surprise – or fatal danger. Steal weapons right from enemies' hands, grab the goodies from treasure chests, and complete a magnificent heist right under the nose of the Grim Reaper! Roll the Dice, Inflate the Price, but Don't Oversell The treasure you stole last night must be sold for a golden price! The rules are simple: repeatedly roll the dice and pair it with the appropriate sales talk to increase the customer's Persuasion Value. Convince the customer, and you can sell the goods for up to three times the original price. But be careful: if you exceed the target number on the dice, the customer will be instantly enraged! Display collectible figures in your shop to help you sell. Remember: Your eloquence determines your wealth. Bombastic sales pitches, combined with the right collectibles and a bit of luck, will make customers willingly empty their wallets for your black market goods at extraordinary prices. From Debt-Ridden Boy to Black Market Tycoon The story begins with you as a little goblin drowning in debt. But as your thieving skills improve and your shop business booms, the tide begins to turn. Recruit employees with different attributes: the "Man of Steel" never falls down, the "Storage Expert" carries bigger bags, the one who is "Frail as a Reed" is permanently gone upon death, and the "Lazy" employees who bring back very little. Expand your influence by opening franchises. Powerful figures will seek you out, asking for your assistance. The Adventurers' Guild, a Mysterious Organization... Everyone wants to win you over. ---------------------------- Channel graphics designed by Penge in The Geek Cupboard.
