About This Game

YOU OWE $50,000.

A fixed-camera arcade shooting gallery.

Every night, you clock in for another shift and shoot garden gnomes for the money inside them.

Every round comes out of your balance. Break a gnome and it pays out. Let one reach the house, and its value—plus the damage—is charged to your account.

Pay the principal down to zero without going broke.

EVERY BULLET COSTS MONEY.

Ammunition is not a resource. It is a line item.

Every round is charged to your balance, whether it hits or not.

There is no health bar. Your balance pays for your shots, your losses and your bills. Let it fall too far and you may not be able to afford another round.

ACCOUNT CLOSED.

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SHOOTING.

Not everything in the garden is worth a round.

Some gnomes are worth more. Some take more than one hit. They can hop across the lawn, drift down by parachute, fly in under a propeller or come sailing over the fence.

Others have business of their own. Some draw directly from your balance. Some interfere with the lights. Some take nearby units with them when they break.

And some garden ornaments are normally worth nothing at all.

The unnecessary round is still billed.

TERMS AVAILABLE THIS SHIFT.

As the run continues, new Terms change the conditions of recovery.

What pays. What costs. What is worth the risk.

Each Term changes a rule. Together, they change the way you play the run.

ENTIRELY AT YOUR DISCRETION.

When the horn sounds, you can clock out.

Or stay.

OVERTIME ×2
DOUBLE SHIFT ×4
GRAVEYARD SHIFT ×8

Payouts increase. Losses increase with them. The gnomes move faster at every rung.

Entirely at your discretion.

STATEMENT ENCLOSED.

When you clock out, the bill is charged automatically. If you cannot cover it, your account is closed before dawn.

At dawn, the Statement arrives. Decide what to do with what remains:

APPLY TO PRINCIPAL — pay down the debt.
SUPPLY & EQUIPMENT — buy an available instrument.
RETAIN — keep your balance for the next shift.

Then clock in again.

PAID IN FULL.

Bring the $50,000 principal down to zero.

PAID IN FULL.

The facility is discharged. Your account remains open should you wish to continue.

If your balance cannot cover the bill at clock-out—or you cannot afford the next round:

ACCOUNT CLOSED.

Every finished run adds to your Reputation. Reputation unlocks new Terms and a second garden. Pay off the debt to unlock Endless, with further loan terms available as you progress.

STANDARD · DAILY GARDEN · ENDLESS

Your next shift is available. Clock in.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

GNOMINAL was made with the help of generative AI tools. They were used during development to create content, including music, ambience, many of the sound effects, and translations. The developer selected this material and built it into the game. No generative AI runs while you play, and nothing you do in the game is sent to an AI service.
