Overview
Elf City is a 2D RPG dating sim for players who enjoy fantasy settings played for laughs rather than seriousness. The tone stays wry and self-aware throughout.
Story
A young dark elf man lives among his landlady and roommate in a society where dark elf women rule and men are expected to feel desire only once a year. He's the exception, made worse by a love goddess sharing his head, and the women around him are as possessive as they are unpredictable. Across three chapters, the story follows what happens when his difference draws attention he can't easily manage.
Gameplay
Play centers on RPG progression mixed with dating-sim style interactions, as the protagonist navigates encounters with the women in his life and city. Choices shape how relationships develop alongside combat or exploration segments typical of the genre. New characters and story content are added as the chapters progress.
Features
- Animated 2D artwork throughout
- A matriarchal dark elf setting played as parody of standard fantasy RPGs
- RPG mechanics layered onto dating-sim relationship building
Changelog
v0.17
- Opens up the sandbox!
- Major grammar fix and some slight changes in dialogue.
- You can now play in Spanish, Portuguese and Russian!
- Converted most image files into webp format. That's why the game is 5x smaller now.
- Changed some music around, also made sure they were .ogg format and small.
- Kara and Iserra have new sprites!
- MC's room in Act 0 has been replaced.
- There is a codex with info about the world.
- Maloria in Prison scene no longer wip (see gallery)
- Two Tara scenes were recolored in act 0.
- Vienna's scene had some colors re-touched.
- I would recommend starting a new save just to see Kara and Iserra (for the last time) but if you don't, I left an option in the room to "unlock codex" (this will be gone next update).
v0.16
- Extends story one more day (last time, next up is just sandbox)
- The center of this update is that Vienna's sprite redone from scratch. She moves, blinks and talks.
- A lot of the prologue art got retouched a bit, mostly to match eye color and other details.
- A lot of the placeholder sprite art has been redone (it looks much better) but it's still ultimately a placeholder. (Support the game to make it not placeholders)
- Kara and Iserra have little face icons for now (these will get replaced when they get proper sprites next update)
- Bathroom BG in the prologue has been replaced with a real BG from a real artist. (the first of many)
- The background for the scene with El and Ali in the prologue also got replaced by a better bg (it wasn't AI before, but it wasn't the style I wanted).
