You've been caught!

You and your gnome pals tried to raid a house party for some new socks, but the owners have spotted you and are keeping a tight watch to make sure no one escapes. Luckily, you've managed to hide away in the closet for a bit to avoid them. Can you save your fellow gnomes and escape?

Dodge and distract the humans inside the house in order to free your friends and potentially leave with some loot!

Objects

Gnome - Your friends! Try to help them escape.

Boombox - Distracts the nearest person within line of sight.

Wine Glass - Aim and throw to create a distraction wherever it lands.

Socks - You were originally here to steal these. _Optional, but it would suck to leave empty-handed..._

Controls

WASD - Move
Q - Aim
Left Mouse - Throw
Space - Interact
Esc - Pause
R - Retry

Changelog

v1.1
- Fixed incorrect position of some puzzle objects

Genres: puzzle

Tools: Unity

Neat game! It might help to let folks know that you can't be seen while a human is moving to investigate, took me a bit to figure that out on my own.

The art is so nice, i love it!! And i love GNOMES!!!!
Fun puzzles, sadly i'm too dumb to get the last sock :)

Great game. Fun. Simple. Maybe the character moved a tad fast but that also may help in setting the game difficulty. Great game!

I was only able to get one sock. Great entry with the best pun in the title! Good job. No real notes. Game is playable with tricky puzzles.

I saved my friends but only managed to get 2 socks. Oh well, better than nothing.
I wish there were more ways to distract humans to make this game more flexible and more fun.

Great game! I really enjoyed it! YOu can throw a disco party by spamming space next to the boom boxes :smile:
The character moves a slight bit too fast, that can lead to accidently going in front of the people, but besides that, very nice!

The last sock was a real challenge!

This is really good! I enjoyed it a lot and it wasn't so simple that I never had to retry a level. Well done :)

Couldn't figure out how to get all the socks, more challenging than expected.

Got away with 2 socks :)

Really unique entry, not seen many stealth/puzzle games this year. Mechnics were great and the puzzles were fun to solve, even though I didn't manage to find solutions with all the socks. Good job!

It's been a while since I last played a stealth game. I enjoyed it

Cool game, puzzle intresting, and i like your graphic style and your gameplay.

Odronin18 Oct 2024, 12:26

A funny puzzle, reminds me of Neighbours from Hell. Cause trouble, steal things and don't get caught :)

I was a bit sad I only escaped with two socks.. then I remembered that's the perfect number of socks so now I'm happy.

Loved the sound it was really chill - both the effects and the music. Graphics were great. Loved the puzzles and the difficulty. Great game.

Only managed two socks, too difficult for me
