Scheming Kobolds

Scheming Kobolds is a game created for the 7DRL 2025 challenge, inspired by Jeff Lait's Smart Kobold and Dungeons and Dragons' infamous Tucker's Kobolds. 

You play as a confident knight in shining armor, marching into a kobold-filled cave brimming with confidence. The knight assumes victory is guaranteed — but the kobolds have other plans...

Scheming Kobolds emphasizes atmosphere and AI. The kobolds use  Fluid HTN planner to coordinate their mischief, hopefully making them more than just simple foes. But it was hard to create cleverness in this short a development time.

The game's soundtrack is by Cryo Crypt (used with permission), available on Bandcamp, adding to the tension as you navigate the kobolds' cunning defenses.
