Overview
Description

Goblins Quest 3 is the third installment in the classic Gobliiins puzzle adventure series, focusing on intricate puzzle-solving across confined screen areas. Players control Blount, a goblin reporter who gets caught up in a conflict between two countries, bitten by a werewolf, and falls in love while trying to interview royalty. Unlike earlier games in the series featuring multiple goblins, this entry centres on Blount with intermittent assistance from supporting characters like Chump the parrot, Ooya the magician, and Fulbert the snake. Blount's transformations, including turning into a werewolf and undergoing size mutations, play a crucial role in navigating environments and solving complex challenges.

Rufus returns for a third round of mayhem, this time with three versions of himself causing chaos across Deponia and the floating city of Elysium. The game blends witty dialogue, hand‑drawn visuals, and clever puzzles as you help Rufus confront his doubts and save his world. The point‑and‑click adventure delivers a comedic sci‑fi story with branching outcomes, memorable characters, and a soundtrack that matches the absurdity of the plot, all playable on every major platform.
