Evaluation

Welcome to Elderfield launched on September 10, 2026 after approximately three years of development. In the developer's own words accompanying the 1.0.0 release, Chris Cote stated clearly: "This 1.0.0 release is just the beginning, and I plan to work on new updates for the game to release for free in the future. Despite all the work that has gone into the game so far, I still have many ideas for the game (as well as cut content that I still hope to add in), and I am excited to continue development to make the game the best that it can be." This is a direct, unambiguous commitment to post-launch free content updates. The game's only DLC currently listed is the soundtrack, which released on launch day. No specific upcoming content has been named yet, but the developer has clearly expressed intent to continue adding to the game.

About this game

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.
