About the Game

Elphame is a story-driven RPG with a "programming puzzle" battle system. Join four heroes as they conquer Elphame by using the hostile beasties' attack patterns against them.

You control four heroes as they cross into a mysterious new world filled with malicious beasties and try to figure out a way home.

Features:

A unique skill planning battle system! Inspect your enemy's skills for details on how their attack patterns roll out, and place your skills to counter them.

A unique experience for each character! Skill sets between the four heroes are unique. Burn your enemy's health over time as Darren, master your mana flow as Nora, haunt and assassinate your enemies as Raven, and become invincible with armour as Jack!

Adaptive soundtrack! Variations on the music play while exploring, talking and fighting, with a new set of tracks for each area.

Map randomization! The terrain of Elphame is elusive. The maps change a little bit each time!

Immersive story! Solve the mysteries of Elphame as you discover the plight of the four tribes of beasties and their suffering at the hands of the Queen!
