A rhythm game where you serenade elven women!
Play your heart out on the harp and win the affections of 15 beautiful elves across a sprawling fantasy city!
'Elf Girls Dig Bards' is a rhythm game wrapped in a storybook. You are a traveling bard sent to an elven city full of souls who've forgotten how to smile. You have one summer — ninety days — to play your music and, unlock their stories, their hearts and their... well, you are a bard.
Tap circles, ride sliders, and spin to the beat as suggestive lyrics set the mood and the artwork leaves less and less to the imagination. Every performance deepens your bond, earns you gold, and reveals a new side of the girl listening.
STORY
The High Bard opens a portal and gives you a simple mission:
"There's a city out there full of souls who've forgotten how to smile. You are a bard. Music is your gift. But being a bard has never been just about music. A bard brings joy by whatever means they can."
"You have one summer. Ninety days. Help them find their smiles — and then move on."
From the shy half-elf hiding by the fountain to the bratty princess behind the palace gates, each girl carries a story that only your music can unlock. A wallflower learning to sing again. A veteran reconnecting with her past. A duchess rediscovering how to dance. A songstress who wants to be known for more than her body.
SYSTEM
Play your harp to the rhythm: Tap, slide, and spin in time with the music. Every note you land sends harp waves through your listener, healing body and soul — and the better you play, the more she opens up to you. Progression artwork evolves as you play, transitioning through stages from clothed to... considerably less so.
15 elven women across 5 city districts: Explore Moonlit Park, The Rusty Lute tavern, Market Square, Verdant Academy, and the Crystal Palace. Each district has three locations and three girls waiting to hear your song — from Aria the Wallflower to Coda the Princess.
90 original songs: Six songs per girl, unlocked as your relationship deepens. Genres span dreamy lo-fi to hard rock, orchestral waltz to chaotic pop, Celtic folk to dark electronic. The lyrics? Let's just say they're not subtle.
A relationship worth building: Progress from Stranger to Soulmate across five milestone levels. Each milestone unlocks new songs, new dialogue, and new artwork.
90 days, your way: Morning, afternoon, evening, night — four time slots per day. Girls appear at different places at different times. Choose who to visit, when to rest, and how to spend your summer. After the story ends, Freeplay mode lets you keep playing with no time limit.
A gallery to revisit: Unlock up to 450 progression images and all 90 songs in the Gallery. Browse by character, replay your favorites, and admire the art at your own pace.
