About the Game




Heart Light: Knight of the Gnomes is a hand-drawn first-person dungeon crawler set in a world where humans once lived.  Put on your trusty toolbelt, dust off your cap, and become the first of your kind to uncover the secrets left behind by the ancient builders.

Play as a gnomish knight venturing into a forgotten labyrinth beneath the surface.  Explore handcrafted dungeon floors, battle a variety of strange creatures, gather ingredients, discover secret rooms, and return to the safety of the  surface before the darkness overtakes your Heart Light.

The World Above is where you prepare. Brew potions, buy and sell gear, dig for buried treasure, socialize with other players in the shared hub, and study your Rune Tablet to unlock Ley Magic.

The World Below is where gnomish knights are made!

The game combines classic dungeon-crawling tension with a colorful fantasy world of gnomes, mushrooms, and crystals.
