About the Game

TROLLHEIM: GNOMES is a reimagined classic survival crafting game where you build a future for your Gnomes in the Dark Forest. Explore an ancient Nordic wilderness, uncover its mysteries, learn about the Väsen who dwell within, and make the forest your home. Play with friends or on your own as you experience a procedurally grown forest sandbox inspired by Nordic folk belief.

Reimagined Classic Survival Crafting

Returning to the roots of the genre, TROLLHEIM: GNOMES offers authentic survival gameplay with modernized systems. You must gather resources and craft tools needed to endure cold, hunger, and hidden threats. The pressure to survive drives you forward, opening up new possibilities and discoveries as the Dark Forest reveals itself as a living world of mystery, wonder and danger.

The Dark Forest Found You

During a pivotal moment in the history of Trollheim, when the last Revel of Sprýg Gnomes living in Midgård are driven from their dwelling by Oden and his corruption, they must reunite in the Dark Forest - a magical realm of mythical beings, where gnomes, trolls, faeries and sirens are real.

The Forest is Real

Step into an ancient, mystic forest through the eyes of a tiny gnome. Let your curiosity drive exploration, as mystery and handcrafted Väsen - both friendly and dangerous - draw you deeper into the Dark Forest. 

Climb rocks and trees across procedurally shaped, carefully curated biomes. Gather blueberries and twigs, and craft tools - from arrows to musical instruments - to venture further. Traverse alone or with up to 7 friends and discover a forest that is not just meant to be explored, but a place to understand and ultimately call home.

Make the Forest Your Home

Let creativity shape your dwelling - build wherever you choose, from bridges to moss cladding, and decorate it to your liking, whether blending into nature or standing out as uniquely yours. Construct idyllic housing in the treetops, within hollowed logs, or by the mist filled forest lakes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Enter the Dark Forest and the untold tales of Väsen through an interconnected narrative spanning books, collectibles, music, games, and more.

The Dark Forest found you.

Explore, encounter and uncover its mysteries together.
