Chapter Four: Goblin Boss Battle

  • In the morning, you have free roam of the game map (brook, front yard, bedroom, kitchen, backyard, barn).

  • Function Three: You you must complete quests using found objects throughout the map. You play as Lizzie.
  • Prompt 1: “Fetch in honey” (Rossetti 1500). You must find the tinderbox to light a fire under the beehives in the backyard
  • Prompt 2: "Milk the cows." You must find the bucket
  • Prompt 3: “Knead cakes of whitest wheat,/ Cakes for dainty mouths to eat." You must collect milk and harvest wheat
  • Prompt 4: “Feed your poultry.” You must find the sack of corn
  • When you have completed all of the tasks, Lizzie and Laura return to the brook. You can hear the goblin’s calls. Lizzie says, “O Laura, come;/ I hear the fruit-call but I dare not look:/ You should not loiter longer at this brook:/ Come with me home” (1501). Narration:

“Laura turned cold as stone/ To find her sister heard that cry alone” (1501).

  • Time passes: Laura yearns for the goblin's fruit and gets sickly. Finally, she is confined to bed. Narration:

“Tender Lizzie could not bear/ To watch her sister’s cankerous care/ Yet not to share” (1502).

  • Goblins come and show Lauta their fruit plates. She says “Good folk, I have no coin" (Rossetti 1498). The goblins answer, “You have much gold upon your head” (1498).

  • Function Two: A prompt says: "What do they want?" You have 30 seconds to run around and find shears.
  • If you use the shears in time, you exchange hair for fruit.
  • If you fail, the goblins attack and you start again.
  • Laura eats the fruit. Narration:

“She sucked and sucked and sucked the more/ Fruits which that unknown orchard bore;/ She sucked until her lips were sore;/ Then flung the emptied rinds away” (1498).

  • When she finishes, you can explore. Walking to the right brings you to Laura and Lizzie's house. Lizzie is waiting at the gate. She says, “Twilight is not good for maidens,/ Should not loiter in the glen/ In the haunts of goblin men” (1499).
  • The story progresses when you sleep. Lizzie joins you and the screen darkens.

  • At the brook, the goblins approach Lizzie. She says, “Give me much and many” and the goblins respond, “Nay, take a seat with us,/ Honour and eat with us." Lizzie says “Thank you… But one waits/ At home alone for me” (Rossetti 1504).

  • Function Four: The goblins become angry and attack. They tear and rip at her and shove fruit against her face. In the poem, Lizzie doesn’t fight back. For the purpose of this game, she does.
  • Lizzie’s health goes down so you must run away. Lizzie can also pick up fruit/ stones/ sticks and throw them at the goblins.
  • There are glowing spots on the ground that give you health.
  • There are three waves of goblins (each two minutes long). Goblins get stronger with each successive wave.
  • If you fail, Lizzie eats the fruit and the battle begins again.
  • If you succeed, the goblins abandon her angrily.

Overview: The Legend of the Goblin Market

  • Laura and Lizzie walk down to the brook. Narration:

"Evening by evening/ Among the brookside rushes,/ Laura bowed her head to hear,/ Lizzie veiled her blushes (Rossetti 1496).

  • There are goblin men. They say, “Come buy our orchard fruits,/ Come buy, come buy” (1496).

  • Function One: A thought bubble comes up from Laura’s head and you are now playing her in a daydream. Prompt says: "Collect their fruit!" There is a two minute countdown.
  • Fruit goes into dream Laura’s apron and a meter in the corner of the screen fills up. The goblins get faster.
  • Lizzie gets in your way. She says “Laura, Laura,/ You should not peep at the goblin men” and “No, no, no;/ Their offers should not charm us,/ Their evil gifts would harm us” (Rossetti 1479). Tap her away until sticks her fingers in her ears and runs.
  • If you fail, Lizzie drags you away and you must start again. If you succeed, you proceed to Chapter Two.

  • Summary: a side-scrolling/ RPG (role-playing game) based on the Victorian poem, "The Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti
  • Main capabilities: exploration/ interaction within a storyline
  • Includes: five chapters, on-screen controls/ prompts, narration, dialogue, object/ NPC (non-playable character) interaction
  • Art style: simple, but based on the color and drama of Pre-Raphaelite Art
  • Music: 8 bit classical (see video to the bottom left)

Chapter Five: Salvation

Title Screen, Tutorial, Navigation

Example of 8-bit "classical" music

  • Title screen: appears with the spoken narration: “Morning and evening/ Maids heard the goblins cry:/ “Come buy our orchard fruits,/ Come buy, come buy:” (Rossetti 1496). You can tap "tutorial," "chapters," or "start"
  • Tutorial: You play as a goblin and the game teaches you:
  • How to move using the controls at the right and left of the screen
  • How to inteact with NPC/ objects on the screen by tapping them
  • Chapters: Simply a collection of chapters that you must unlock through gameplay. They can be selected when unlocked.
  • Start: Begins gameplay
  • Lizzie returns to the house and presents herself to a sick Laura, saying: "Did you miss me?/ Come and kiss me./ Never mind my bruises,/ Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices" (Rossetti 1506). Laura responds with, "...have you tasted/ For my sake the fruit forbidden?" (1506). Lizzie and Laura embrace and kiss.
  • Laura returns to the bed, wracked with sickness.

  • Function Five: You must care for Laura while she is feverish. Her health bar will go up as you do tasks for her.
  • Prompt 1: "Hold water to her lips" (1507). You must go to the well in the backyard with the bucket
  • Prompt 2: "Cool her face." You must find a fan
  • Prompt 3: Feed Laura something to make her feel better! Laura will accept any food that you can make with found materials
  • Laura hops out of bed and embraces Lizzie when her health is full.
  • Finally, the credits roll over an image of a much older Laura telling young kids about her adventure. Narration:
  • "Laura would call the little ones/ And tell them of the days long gone/ Of not-returning time/ Would talk about the haunted glen/ The wicked, quaint fruit-merchant men" (1508).
