You settle into Elderfield, a strange town where unsettling events and unusual residents are part of everyday life. Alongside tending a farm, you take on local requests and investigate the mysteries unfolding around town.
Explore the town and its surrounding areas, search buildings and hidden spots, gather materials, and face creatures in turn-based RPG combat. Equipment, abilities, buffs, and collected supplies help prepare you for tougher encounters; dice rolls can also shape the results of actions and events.
Back at the farm, grow crops and raise unusual livestock, then fish, forage, mine, cook, and craft useful goods and gear. You can also customize your home and character, build relationships with townsfolk, and choose a difficulty setting to adjust the challenge.
Players who enjoy the game frequently praise its eerie, offbeat atmosphere, distinctive art, and music, along with the pleasure of exploring the town and uncovering its secrets. Some also enjoy the strategic turn-based battles and the mix of farming, crafting, and RPG systems. Others find the combat punishing and the dice-driven setbacks, resource gathering, and progression grind tedious, so reactions to the challenge and pacing vary.
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.
Everything in Elderfield is unsettling, from the haunting, horror manga-inspired, hand-drawn visuals to the dark, lofi 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.
Customize your home and character, unravel daily mysteries, befriend the odd townsfolk (or even marry one!), go fishing, spend your afternoons mining and forage through the surrounding wilds… There's lots to do in Elderfield!
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.
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.
Elderfield features a deep, turn-based combat system where you must utilize gathered resources, strategic buffs and diverse equipment to survive encounters with ancient, Lovecraftian horrors.
Die, learn, farm, and forage… Then die again.
