Overview
What Is Burglin Gnomes?
Burglin Gnomes (officially titled 'Burglin' Gnomes') is an upcoming indie stealth game on Steam. This site is a pre-release reference for players looking up the release date (TBA), gameplay, and demo status.
The fantasy is simple and strong: pick a target, sneak in, take what you came for, and get out. The catch is that every extra second inside increases the odds you get discovered or forced into a messy escape.
Heists in Human Homes
A small-character perspective in oversized environments: doors, furniture, shelves, and everyday objects become obstacles and opportunities.
Jobs and Objectives
You are not looting at random. The Steam listing describes jobs with objectives, including stealing items and completing tasks.
Craft and Upgrade
The Steam listing mentions crafting equipment and upgrading your gnome home using items you bring back.
Stealth First
