Giant Snail Studios also adds rounds filled with near-identical gnomes that make small details count.

Hidden Gnomes added a darkness mechanic in its November 13 update. Selecting the wrong gnome leaves only a circle of light around the cursor, and subsequent mistakes shrink the circle. Correct guesses gradually restore the light. Version 1.2 also adds Twin Rounds. In these rounds, players have just one to three gnomes

to find, but the surrounding crowd has been chosen to look almost exactly like them. Official Steam announcement. Official Steam store page. Image source ยท Giant Snail Studios.
