About
True stories told by real people.
Frigg has a lot to learn in the small town of Elk after life in the big city! An apprenticeship as a carpenter, a group of new, complicated friends, and a town predisposed to all kinds of difficult relationships. But they're going to find their way just like all the other off-beat immigrants to the island of Elk. It's how life is across the water.
And just as they have fun exploring all the little nooks and crannies of an old, storied island and its old, storied people, Frigg will face some tough decisions, some heartwrenching situations and a the kind of heartbreak that sits with you forever. Whether it's playing cards for candy, getting their feet wet at the beach or just sitting down to listen to a story well-told, Elk will be an adventure that Frigg will cherish for the rest of their days.
The stories in Welcome to Elk are told by the people who we know and/or were there when the events took place. All are told from memory. The way they are used both on our webpage and in the game is true to the core story but everything like names, locations and other details are changed, renamed and often re-framed to protect the real people behind them, therefore, we call them tall tales. The stories are not one-to-one like you would experience in true crime for example. They are rewritten and combined to one linear narrative. Characters may play a role in one story where they were not a part of it originally and only us who designed it will ever know – or come close to the real truth of the stories.
Welcome to Elk might look like a “fun” game but it’s about telling stories – some are filled with humour, others are dark, but they go hand in hand.

TLDR: You could ask "is this a game"? The answer would be I think so. If you like using the wasd and spacebar this game is for you! Story driven walking sim? Drink Beer! Talk about Death! Guns! You watch most of the game. Read and walk with occasional mini game. Fun art, just play it. I got this in a fanatical bundle. For the price, I really enjoyed it. The art style is funky at times. I see a blanket over what could have been more of a game. The mini games were interesting and certain points pulled me back in right as I was thinking of moving on. It's a simple game that focuses on story telling and filling in the blanks with fun events that don't change progression. Play it if you like shocking stories with a linear style game that holds your hand for a bit over 3 hours. The story is odd but I like it. I thank the people that shared these stories. It's kind of fun how they interconnected personal experienced into a game that is mainly about drinking beer. It was an overall well polished game that worked 100% as expected. The one thing I want to know about is if I should call the number in the game haha
很少能打破第三面墙与制作组产生链接，直至结局有种难以言喻的感动，游戏以一种温柔的方式融入了我生活的一部分。
A fun little story with cool ragdoll characters. Definitely leans into its Nordic weirdness. However, I have it set to just replay Elk Stack over and over again. Love in game card games like this! Are you listening devs? Maybe make it a separate game or something you can choose from the main menu? Maybe it is already and I'm missing something?
Bueno me sorprendió. Es para completarlo en poco tiempo (incluido los logros), es perfecto en su formato audiovisual. Lo que si es más para un público adulto, y no para que se lo compren a un menor esperando que disfruten con coloridos personajes. Tiene mucho contenido que puede resultar incomodo considerando lo que abarca y en lo que te deja pensando por las historias reales.- Desde lo que es el alcoholismo, violencia, etc. No es gráfico, pero agradezco que haya existido el botón de [spoiler]negarse a sacrificar a palos a un conejo jaja[/spoiler]. Considerado. AH! Interesante el juego y vean de que trata todas las historias en común.
虽然说实际游戏时间没有这么多，很长时间是开着游戏在发呆，不过真的很喜欢这个游戏... 想了很多但是感觉，不如就像游戏最后说的那样，“this is a good story”，这就够了。
画风实在是喜欢，但游戏性差了点儿，基本上就是读故事。大量对话和信件里大篇幅的文字，再加上没有中文所以看得我没有耐心了。能对上电波的人可入。
This game, while very linear, is one of the most engaging, beautiful and profound indie projects I have had the pleasure to experience. The story fully embraces tough topics, interwoven with real life excerpts, and is wonderfully built into an incredibly designed, unique style. The delivery, soundtrack, script, mini games and details are faultless. Thank you
Welcome to Elk foi uma daquelas experiências que me pegou de um jeito que eu nem tava esperando. O jogo é simples na gameplay, mas nem de longe é sobre isso. O que realmente importa aqui são as histórias. Cada personagem que aparece traz algo real, pesado, às vezes até desconfortável… mas ao mesmo tempo muito humano. E o jeito que tudo é contado é diferente de tudo que eu já joguei. Parece que você não tá só jogando, tá ouvindo relatos de vida mesmo. Teve momentos que eu parei só pra absorver o que tinha acabado de acontecer. Algumas histórias ficam na cabeça depois que você fecha o jogo, e isso pra mim diz muito. A trilha sonora também merece muito destaque. Ela encaixa perfeitamente com cada momento, sabe? Tem partes que ela é suave e quase te abraça, e em outras ela só intensifica tudo que você tá sentindo. Foi uma das coisas que mais me marcou. No geral, é um jogo mais calmo, mais narrativo, então não é pra quem quer ação ou desafio. Mas se você gosta de histórias bem contadas, com emoção de verdade, esse jogo é especial. Pra mim, foi uma experiência linda e muito marcante. Nota: 10/10
Welcome to Elk es basicamente un walking simulator con minijuegos de por medio. Sin duda alguna la parte mas interesante es la relacionada con las historias que nos vamos encontrando a lo largo del juego. La música también es muy buena y aporta un gran peso a los momentos mas emotivos. La peor parte es la relacionada con los minijuegos, no aportan nada a la historia y son muy flojos, son muy simples y solo hacen alargar el juego de manera artificial. 7/10
Awesome game. Love it.
