Plot
Having just returned from her "holiday" in the wilderness, the gnome Ingrid Bottomlow must save her home village of Little Moaning from destruction by a greedy property developer, Jasper Quickbuck. To do this she must get the various uncooperative inhabitants of the village to sign her petition.

Gameplay is similar to Gnome Ranger. The player must explore Ingrid's village while collecting signatures for her petition by interacting with various non-player characters.
