Trouble With Trolls

About

Trouble With Trolls is a text-driven adventure game where you play Brian Woodlouse, tasked with stealing treasure from stubborn trolls who’d rather die than part with their loot. Set in a world where trolls eat until they puke or fight to the death over trinkets, the game revolves around solving puzzles and outmaneuvering these obsessive creatures. Gameplay leans heavily on typed commands and lateral thinking, as you navigate traps, trick the trolls, and snatch diamonds and gold without getting flattened. The humor comes from the trolls’ absurd dedication to their greed, making every heist feel like a battle of wits against a toddler with a grudge. The game’s charm lies in its deadpan writing and the sheer ridiculousness of its premise. Though it’s over 25 years old, its quirky dialogue and relentless difficulty have earned it a cult following among retro adventure fans. With no modern updates, it’s a raw snapshot of 90s design, unpolished but full of personality. If you’ve ever wanted to pick a fight with a creature that values a pebble more than its own life, this is your jam.
