Gnome Dome

Welcome to the GNOME DOME.
You’ve been hired to work the night shift inside a strange enclosed garden. Your job sounds simple: water flowers, pull weeds, trim hedges, repair equipment and finish every task before your shift ends.
There’s just one problem.
The gnomes are watching.
Every task has its own time limit. Finish it quickly and you’ll earn extra time for your overall night shift. Let the task timer reach zero, however, and one random gnome somewhere in the garden will come to life.
Your task doesn’t end.
You still have to finish it.
Only now, something is hunting you.
FINISH THE JOB
Each night gives you a series of gardening and maintenance tasks to complete across the garden.
Work quickly, stay organized and keep an eye on your timers.
Completing tasks rewards additional shift time, giving you a better chance of surviving the night.
But if your main shift timer reaches zero, you enter OVERTIME.
The job isn’t over.
The gnomes simply stop playing nice.
WHICH GNOME MOVED?
The GNOME DOME is filled with garden gnomes.
Most of them are harmless decorations.
Most of the time.
Whenever a task timer expires, one random gnome becomes active and begins hunting you.
You won’t be told which one.
Was that gnome standing there before?
Was it always facing you?
And where did the one beside the hedge go?
THE WATER IS SAFE... FOR NOW
The garden’s water provides temporary protection.
Gnomes cannot follow you into the water, making ponds and flooded areas valuable escape routes during a chase.
But you cannot hide forever.
Swimming drains your stamina, and when it runs out, staying underwater becomes just as dangerous as returning to shore.
