Goblin Cave

Welcome to **Goblin Cave**, my first Twine game! I created it using Harlowe, and it's been a fun exercise fumbling and flailing my way through. The finished game features a simple cave to explore and a few monsters to battle using a basic combat system. The whole game takes about five minutes to play. I hope you enjoy it.
