Pitch

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an elephant the size of a softball as a friend?
Well Elfie answers just that! Elfie is a wholesome and unique experience. It borrows elements from different game genres to immerse the player into their new friendship with a tiny elephant.

Description

Elfie is a game about a small round elephant named Elfie.
Grow your friendship with your cute little new friend (and roommate).

Learn about all her hobbies, her favorite things and enjoy her company.

It's a unique casual and laid back experience that explores the possibilities of pet simulators.

History

The development on Elfie in August 2023. Around the end of 2024, "A Sand Plan" started being developed as a minigame for Elfie. There is currently a focus on releasing a stand alone version of "A Sand Plan", though some development of the systems have intertwined during its development.

Features

  • Virtual Friend (Pet): Make sure she's eating a balanced diet (not just peanut butter), cleaning up after herself and, most importantly, getting enough sleep and attention.
  • Minigames: Inspired by the nostalgia of multicart cartridges, the collection of minigames represents things that Elfie enjoys doing and her various hobbies.
  • Non-Linear Narrative: Your interactions with her will shape your friendship. And not only through dialogue. For example: Do you visit her everyday? Do you always play the same minigames? Do you take a lot of time answering her questions? Different players may come out with different experiences.
  • Wholesome and casual: The game is meant to be a relaxing, positive and thoughtful experience. Play it and experience it as you please!
  • Elfie: So cute! That's a feature in itself!
