Also available as a free HD download, Mateusz Skutnik's hidden-object 10 Gnomes series is back for more in 10 Gnomes in Montaigut-le-Blanc, and just as gorgeous as ever. Wandering through quiet streets with rustic black-and-white beauty, you are, as the title might imply, hunting down ten tiny gnomes who are scattered around, well... everywhere. Being very small, they can fit into the oddest of places, and there are many nooks and crannies for you to look through. Just click to interact when the cursor changes as it passes over different areas, and make your way around town. The only real "puzzle" is finding the gnomes themselves, making the game sort of "Chicken Soup for the Traveler's Soul" as Mateusz has taken us to so many quietly stunning locations throughout the years with these games. He excels in bringing out the loveliness of each rustic locale, though there's something about Montaigut-le-Blanc that feels a little lonelier than some of the others. If you really want to feed your eyes, check out the gorgeous free HD versions on Mateusz's site, but maybe more importantly, check out his Patreon, too, since he's given us all so much amazing content for free over the years. 10 Gnomes in Montaigut-le-Blanc is every bit as sleek and professional as we've come to expect from the series, and the lack of a timer means you can go at your own pace as you explore. If you're looking for something zenlike and just a wee bit whimsical, 10 Gnomes in Montaigut-le-Blanc is worth a quiet stroll through.

I just finished Payphone Mania and thought to myself "oh god, this is awful. Are games like this now? What I would give for some Skutnik right now." I refresh the homepage, and this beautiful vision appears. I can't believe it. It's some kind of gaming miracle. Thank you Skutnik! You saved me from game hopelessness. Now I must hop on over to Patreon to put my money where my mouth is. #supportyourlocalgenius #sothankful
I just love how structurally meditative these games are. Even if it did take me over an hour to find all the gnomes.
Still missing one gnome, but exploring the scenery is so relaxing I don't really care. I liked the focus on cobwebs in this installment.
How many trolls are there? Found only 1.
Found 10 gnomes and 1 troll. Very subtle hotspots in some areas. There's more than you think in the first area.
Also found what looks like an egg, but it's not collectible.
I have 9 gnomes & 1 troll. But I could have sworn I looked at every hotspot
