Gnome hunting reaches a new level! Become a mighty knight and plunge into the world of dark fantasy without leaving your home.
As a knight, you will plunge into a series of procedurally-generated open-world environments, each with a distinct setting like a forest, swamp, or castle. You'll navigate these atmospheric realms from a first-person perspective, thoroughly exploring every nook and cranny to uncover the hiding spots of your quarry.
At the heart of the gameplay is the challenge of hunting down and capturing elusive gnomes. Each level contains a set number of these mischievous creatures, concealed within various environmental objects and props. You must use a combination of visual cues, environmental clues, and interactive elements to pinpoint the gnomes' locations.
Once you've spotted a gnome, you must initiate a capture sequence. This involves chasing down the fleeing creature and then participating in a timing-based mini-game. The mini-game requires you to click or press a button within a rapidly decreasing window of time, testing your reflexes and precision as you attempt to secure the capture.
To aid in your pursuit of the gnomes, you have access to a sprint function that allows you to quickly traverse the levels. This, combined with the game's open-world design, encourages you to explore thoroughly and efficiently in your hunt.
The game offers a decent level of replayability, as each playthrough can result in different outcomes and endings depending on the choices you make. You can choose to follow the Path of Virtue, the Path of Greed, or the Path of Nobility, each with its own objectives and consequences. Additionally, the procedurally-generated nature of the levels ensures that your experience will vary with each revisit, further incentivizing you to explore alternative approaches.
