Evaluation

Burglin' Gnomes launched on June 10, 2026, developed by solo developer Fobri, and has had a strong debut — over 500,000 copies sold in its first three weeks. The developer has been highly active since launch, shipping three hotfixes in the first three days and posting a detailed post-launch update on July 7, 2026. In that July 7 post, the developer explicitly confirmed that new content is coming. They described having "new content ideas" they want to implement, and highlighted a particularly compelling concept: an asymmetric PvP game mode where one player could control the human (potentially even in VR). The developer also committed to reviewing community suggestions and building an "update plan or roadmap of sorts" after finishing a forthcoming bug fix patch. A June 11 post additionally promised more game configuration options in a future update. The developer is candid that no timeline for a content update exists yet — they took time off after a demanding pre-launch period and want to ensure updates are inspired rather than rushed. This is a deliberate, measured approach to post-launch development rather than a sign of uncertainty. The developer is clearly still actively engaged with the game and has communicated concrete intent to add new content.

About this game

Become a Gnome

Prepare to invade the houses of unsuspecting humans along with up to 5 friends of your choice. After finding your way in, take anything you want. Human laws don't apply to gnomes! Just try to be stealthy...

Do your job

While burgling is a very productive activity on its own, you also need to do your job. The High-Gnome won't transport you around for nothing, so you must complete tasks for him to stay on his good side! Failing to complete enough tasks might get you fired...

Craft and Upgrade

Some of the stuff you find is useful as is, however a certain amount of repurposing is often needed to fit the specific needs of gnomes. Craft equipment, build functional furniture, and upgrade your home with the burglin' haul.

Stay safe

Gnomes are small and fragile, and often hunted by other beings. Interact with the environment and use your equipment to slow down any hostile meanies. Stay vigilant, and be ready to rescue one another. The High-Gnome doesn't like resurrecting unworthy gnomes...
