About the Game

Two health points and double jump, that´s all you need!

In Elfscape: Ancestors you control a Temple Guardian, with movement as swift as a ninja! You will have to overcome sophisticated moving obstacles.

You might die a lot, but that’s the rough life in the Underworld.

Story of the Guardian

The Guardian has been asleep for a long time, resting in the Temple, and waiting for the Chosen One’s arrival. Now the time has come to wake up, time to fulfill the prophecy and fight by his side. But the Chosen One is nowhere in sight, and nobody speaks a language she can understand. What´s going on?


Two adventures in one


During your explorations, you’ll occasionally encounter a headless statues of Lahmu - the God of the Underworld. Reunite the statues with their lost heads to receive comics pages. These pages tell the story of two local hunters, Jachan and Agol, on their adventure outside the Temple city´s safety.

The changing city

It's hard to get along with people you can't understand. The townspeople react to the progress of the game´s story in unexpected ways. However, spending your coins on cultivating the city will make the townspeople grateful and you'll help them to make the Temple city more beautiful. Of course, you can always choose to spend your coins on a stylish new skin for yourself. The choice is yours!
