About this game
“It is said that her ego has its own country...”
Goblet of Mercy is a short interactive dark fantasy tale about your encounter with a woman whose ego is so big she made her own perfect world to contain it.
It began with Halloween, a time when the veil between worlds is thin. Your friend Judy invited you out to a themed party at the local library. A Halloween event, a good friend, a lot of weird books for sale. Judy might have been in a shifty mood, but there was no need to worry.
Really. What could go wrong?

Patch NotesOfficial
Small Update (Typos)
Hi all, Just a quick update to fix some typos pointed out by Sootopolis. Thanks! Also, if you're having trouble getting the High Price ending and keep getting Echo instead: That's because the goblets are somewhat random. You'll know you're getting the Echo ending if the player feels cold from drinking from the goblet. Scroll back and pick a different goblet. The player should feel warm.. I'll add this to the guide later.Read full article on Community Announcements (Sun Labyrinth)Patch NotesOfficial
Fix for Steam Achievements
This update should fix Steam achievements not working (in-game achievements still worked). The previous version (1.15) is still available if you encounter any issues. Go to Properties>Betas and select 1.15 in the dropdown menu. Happy Halloween/spooky games season, btw.Read full article on Community Announcements (Sun Labyrinth)Patch NotesOfficial
Updated Engine Version
Hello, Updates Goblet of Mercy to the latest version of the Ren'Py engine version, 8.02 to the latest, 8.2.1. If you experience trouble with this version, the previous version, 1.14a, is still available. To access, select Properties...>Betas>1.14a from the dropdown menu. It seems like version 8.0.2 of the engine may have had some issues with Steam Deck compatibility, so I'm updating in the hope that that will fix it. Is anyone else playing Goblet of Mercy on Steam Deck? I did aim to make text and UI more Steam Deck friendly but haven't been able to test it myself. Thanks, S. A.
