Thank you all once again for your support of Elsie so far! We'll see you soooon.

Happy holidays, folks!

SUP folks!

The holidays are rapidly approached, but before we all sign off for the year, I just wanted to share an extended "THANK YOU" from everyone here at Playtonic and the folks at Knight Shift.

The support and feedback we've received on Elsie has been so, so appreciated by all of us here! We're ending 2024 with Elsie being the winner or runner-up in a number of awards, and for that we're very proud!



We'll see you in 2025!

Nominate Elsie for Best Game You Suck At!

Sup folks!

It's the time of year where all the awards are happening and we've got one big favour we'd like to ask! If you enjoyed your time with Elsie, would you be so kind as to consider voting for it in the "Best Game You Suck At" category at the Steam Awards?

By design, Elsie rewards you for learning the ropes and upgrading as you go along, getting better on each run! It's certainly the best game of ours that I suck at, so maybe that's worth something, eh?

Thank you so much in advance
