Gnomonatics

A Shadow Falls Over Gnomon Island

When a comet crashes into peaceful Gnomon Island, a creeping corruption wipes color from the world, twists friends into enemies, and sweeps darkness across the land. As Gnoah Gnome, you'll explore a hand-crafted world, solve the ancient mysteries of the Shadow Ruins, and face the source of the corruption head-on.

Gnomonatics is a third-person action-adventure with puzzle dungeons, a dynamic day/night cycle, and a world that changes as corruption spreads.

Explore Gnomon Island

Gnomon Island is a living, breathing world — a compact open environment with forests, rivers, a lava-scarred crater, and a quiet village that harkens to a brighter age. Wander at your own pace, discover the island's hand-crafted secrets, and watch the world shift between light and shadow as the corruption spreads.

Solve the Shadow Ruins

Beneath the surface lie the Shadow Ruins — ancient puzzle dungeons built by the Gnomonatics long ago. Move sundial stones, ring chimes in the right sequence, and align shadow patterns with sacred obelisks to unlock deeper chambers. Each puzzle was left behind for a reason. You'll need to find out why.

Fight the Corruption

The island's creatures have been touched by the comet's shadow. Battle corrupted foes with crossbow, sword, and your wits. Learn their patterns, dodge their strikes, and push back the darkness one encounter at a time — building toward a confrontation with the Comet Boss itself: a massive eight-limbed mass of molten lava. 

Topple the Comet Boss

The final challenge of the Shadow Ruins is unlike anything Gnomon Island has seen. The Comet Boss is a two-phase encounter — topple the beast, survive its recovery, and finish the fight before it finishes you.
