The debut game from solo developer Chris Cote, Welcome to Elderfield is a cozy horror RPG featuring hand-drawn art and a dark lo-fi soundtrack. Manage your farm, meet the townsfolk, decorate your home, and seek out the Old Gods or die in your sleep. There’s lots to do in Elderfield.
Key Features of Welcome to Elderfield
- About Welcome to Elderfield: Welcome to Elderfield is a cozy horror RPG where the abnormal is normal, the townsfolk are odd, the eldritch beings watch over you, and the local news reports seem stranger by the day.
- Cozy distractions from the horrors around you: Everything in Elderfield is unsettling, from the haunting, horror manga-inspired, hand-drawn visuals to the dark, lo-fi soundscapes composed by Dated. Despite the strange creatures lurking just outside your home, those who wander into Elderfield rarely find a reason… or option, to leave.
- Life-sim RPG: Customize your home and character, unravel daily mysteries, befriend the odd townsfolk (or even marry one!), go fishing, spend your afternoons mining and foraging through the surrounding wilds…
- Farming with a twist: Cultivate your land, harvest your crops, and stop the growth of unruly tentacles. Manage a variety of strange, otherworldly livestock, grow useful crops like corn, pumpkins, teeth, or eyeballs, and hope that beings from the woods don’t wander onto your farm.
- In-depth combat and strategy: Choose your difficulty; how much suffering can you endure? For players seeking a peaceful life of harvest and discovery, cozy difficulty offers a more laid-back experience. For those who crave a challenge, the Old Gods are waiting.
