GnollHack transforms NetHack — one of the greatest and deepest games of all time — into a modern roguelike experience built for today’s players. Animated graphics, immersive sound, music, and voiceovers, along with a refined interface, bring the legendary NetHack formula to life like never before. With extensive gameplay and accessibility improvements, GnollHack is the definitive way to start playing NetHack today!

A Legend, Reborn

For decades, NetHack has defined depth and complexity in gaming. GnollHack takes that legendary foundation and elevates it with modern design, accessibility, and immersion — without sacrificing what made it great.

Endless Adventure, Limitless Possibilities

Every run is unique. Procedurally generated dungeons, unpredictable encounters, and countless items ensure that no two adventures are ever the same. Win with strategy, creativity, and clever thinking — not with reflexes.

Designed for Modern Players

Clear visuals. Rich audio. Whether you're on a quick session or a deep dive, GnollHack fits perfectly into how you play today.

Depth That No Other Game Matches

Complex systems. Meaningful choices. Real consequences. GnollHack offers a level of depth and emergent gameplay that few modern games even attempt.

Enabling Dedicated GPU

In the case your computer has multiple GPUs, GnollHack uses the integrated GPU by default. If you want to use the dedicated GPU, you must enable it as follows:

1. Open Windows Settings.

2. Go to System → Display → Graphics.

3. Add a desktop app and select "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GnollHack\GnollHackM.exe".

4. GnollHackM should appear in the app list. Click on it to expand its options. Select High Performance as GPU preference.

Troubleshooting

If the game is stuck in the loading screen in the "Done loading" phase, you can fix the problem as follows:

1. Open Control Panel.

2. Click Clock and Region.

3. Click Region.

4. Select the Administrative tab and, in the Language for non-Unicode programs section, click Change system locale.

5. Select English (United States) as the current system locale and click OK.

Alternatively, you can download an MSIX installer for the game from GnollHack's GitHub releases page. Installing the game through it will also fix the problem.
