About the Game

Take a moment to relax, choose your favorite cozy glass bowl, and design a beautiful world for friendly forest gnomes.



Build terrariums for forest gnomes and watch them play around in their new home or control a gnome and explore your creation up-close. Create a cozy, lantern-lit glass bowl filled with moss, or see just how much you can bounce around the gnomes with the mushrooms.

Design your own Terrarium

  • Dig and shape the soil in the terrarium, or simply enjoy the procedurally generated design.
  • Choose from different terrarium shapes, from cozy glass bowls and massive fish tanks, to the tiniest bottle.
  • Control the lighting, your terrarium can exist in perpetual dawn, dusk, night or day. Whatever you think looks the best (this feature is coming soon in Early Access).

Make the Scandinavian Fantasy Forest of your dreams

  • Place various styles of comfy moss everywhere.
  • Use rocks, mushrooms, lanterns and many other decorations inspired by the forests and myths of Scandinavia to create serene forestscapes.

Meet the Playful Gnomes, or as we call them: Tomtar

  • They have very bushy beards!
  • They appear as you decorate the terrarium and give them things to play with!
  • They love to bounce on mushrooms, and see how high they can get!

And when you really want to immerse yourself in your creation, you can always become a gnome yourself and enjoy your terrarium from the Tomte Perspective!

About save data

While I aim to avoid players losing save data during Early Access there may be changes made to the game that make it impossible to migrate save data between versions. Please consider this before buying the game during Early Access.
