What is Welcome to Elderfield?
Welcome to Elderfield is a single-player cozy horror RPG developed by Chris Cote and published by Kwalee. Released for Windows on September 10, 2026, it pairs hand-drawn, horror-manga-inspired art with a dark lofi soundtrack.
Life in Elderfield moves between farming, caring for unusual livestock, mining, foraging, fishing, cooking, customizing your home and character, building relationships, and investigating daily mysteries. The Old Gods and strategic turn-based battles bring danger to that routine, with difficulty options ranging from Cozy to Nightmare plus Custom.
