About the Game

Parts of the Elephant is a short and moody visual novel where you decide which threads to follow as the world keeps moving around you.

Explore the liminal space of a creepy hotel, find interesting strangers, and learn lessons vicariously through the brief glimpses of their lives that you can peer into - or just make an ass out of yourself until you pass out drunk in someone's bed.

Tonight is a dark puddle for you to play around in, and no-one's going to care about the mess until the harsh light of tomorrow comes.
