Burglin' Gnomes: A humorous co-op game about thieving gnomes
On June 10, 2026, the new online co-op game Burglin' Gnomes officially launched on Steam. In this game, players take on the role of tiny gnomes who work together to break into human homes and create all kinds of chaotic situations.
Cooperative gameplay and stealth action
Burglin' Gnomes allows you to team up with up to five other friends to carry out daring heists. After finding a way into a human house, players are free to collect anything they want without worrying about human rules. However, stealth remains a crucial part of the experience, helping the group avoid detection and complete their objectives successfully.
Mission system from High-Gnome
In addition to freely collecting personal belongings, players must also complete tasks assigned by High-Gnome. This character is responsible for transporting your team between different areas. Failing to complete enough assigned jobs may result in your group facing the risk of being fired.
Crafting, recycling, and base upgrades
Items collected from human homes can be used directly or recycled to better suit the needs of gnome society. The game features crafting mechanics that allow players to create equipment, build functional furniture, and upgrade the group's shared home using loot gathered during each mission.
Facing environmental dangers
Because of their small and fragile size, gnomes are often hunted by other creatures in the environment. Players must interact with the world around them and use crafted equipment to slow down hostile threats. Staying alert and being ready to rescue teammates are essential for survival, as High-Gnome is not fond of reviving members who fail to prove their worth.
