Mischevious Goblin…Literally

You’re a goblin locked in a dungeon by a spoiled, tyrannical queen. Sounds pretty grim, right? Except instead of plotting noble revenge or leading a heroic uprising, you decide, “Nah, let’s make her life miserable instead mwahahaha!”. That’s literally this game in a nutshell; a short, cheeky, AVN that swaps epic fantasy drama for a mischievous power trip full of pranks, hexes, and “delicious” chaos.

It’s not here to tell an emotional saga or make you ponder deep themes, it’s here to let you enjoy a goblin outsmarting a queen in the most humiliating ways possible.

About This Game

Storyline

At its core, Court of Chaos is simple, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. You play as Briggs, a goblin tossed into the dungeon for ticking off the queen one too many times. But instead of sulking, he plots a revenge campaign that would make even Loki proud.

Here’s how the story plays out:

The Setup: You start imprisoned, but quickly find out the dungeon has a few secrets, including a nearby priestess prisoner, who’s got her own reasons for hating the queen. She can either be your ally or your distraction (depending on how chaotic you feel).
The Scheme: Every day, you pick how Briggs spends his time: sneaking around the castle, spreading rumors, or setting up humiliating traps. The goal is to chip away at the queen’s dignity while keeping your antics hidden. It’s all about lowering her morale without raising her suspicion.
The Spiral: As the days go by, the “pranks” escalate, we’re talking magic gone wrong, transparent clothing spells, and cursed speeches that ruin her royal image. It’s one disaster after another, and it’s oddly satisfying.
The Endings: There are two main outcomes, depending on your choices. You can either completely dominate the queen and make her submit, or twist things so the priestess ends up taking her place. Both endings are fun, but they wrap up pretty fast. I found myself wishing for a few extra scenes to really savor the downfall.

Honestly, it’s more of a revenge comedy than a story-driven visual novel. Think of it like a short, spicy parody of medieval court drama…just with a lot more chaos and a lot fewer morals.

Gameplay Mechanics

Gameplay is pretty straightforward. Each day is split into sections, morning, afternoon, night, and you choose from a list of available actions. Some choices are just flavor text, while others (marked with exclamation points) push the story forward.

There’s no real time limit or resource pressure. You can replay scenes, experiment with different routes, and take as long as you want to reach the ending. The trick is balancing the queen’s suspicion with her morale. Too much suspicion and your pranks backfire; too little progress and the story drags.

I liked that it encourages replaying to find both endings, though after a few loops, you start to notice the repetition. Still, for a one-hour experience, it’s compact and satisfying enough.

Visuals & Audio

For a short visual novel, the presentation is solid. The art style leans into the adult theme, bold, expressive, and unashamedly lewd. Character designs do their job well (let’s just say the queen’s expressions are priceless once the pranks kick in).

The music and sound effects deserve a shout-out too. They add just the right amount of drama and humor, making every failed speech or magical mishap feel that much more ridiculous. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s surprisingly effective for immersion.

Pros

Short and easy to complete in about an hour
Hilariously petty premise! Playing as a vengeful goblin is just fun
Multiple endings encourage replayability
Good mix of humor and chaos
Art and sound design fit the tone perfectly

Cons

Way too short…ends just as it gets good
Repetition sets in if you replay too much
Could use a few extra scenes or slow-burn buildup
Choices don’t always feel impactful

Conclusion

Court of Chaos is exactly what it says on the tin; chaotic, cheeky, and full of goblin-level mischief. It’s not deep or emotional, but it is entertaining in that “I can’t believe I’m doing this” kind of way. The humor lands, the art sells the absurdity, and the premise is too fun to take seriously.

I just wish it lasted a bit longer because once the queen’s downfall starts rolling, it’s over before you can truly enjoy the full mess. Still, if you’re in the mood for something short, naughty, and gleefully unhinged, Court of Chaos is a great little detour into delightful wickedness.
