Ells Tales: Chicken News

Hi, Ells&Pills is here!

Last autumn we decided to give our older 2024‑released games a little refresh. At a minimum, we wanted to add proper in‑game menus using the latest UI work we did on Chairbound. So we’ve updated the menus in two games, but life got a bit hectic and we didn’t get around to updating Ells Tales: Chicken. Today, we’re fixing that oversight!

This major update includes:

• A completely revamped game menu that now matches the style of all our other titles.
  
• A new in‑game font that is consistent across every localization.
  
• German localization added for the game and the Steam store page.
  
• French localization added for the game and the Steam store page.
  
• Spanish localization added for the game and the Steam store page.
  
• Serbian localization added for the game in two variants – Latin script and Cyrillic script.

A huge thank you to the Serbian translation author, Radoš "rammba" Milićev! His Steam profile: rammbagrobar

Best Regards,

Hi, Ells&Pills is here!
In this news we want to pay attention to such a habitual thing in our daily life, like social networks. If big texts tire you, you can skip the entire text until "In general..".



Stupid or not, we didn't originally plan to actively manage social media or promote our games on them. The only thing we find useful and actually use is YouTube, for posting our game trailers. Sure, we have a half-dead account on Reddit and Twitter (X, sorry), but we log in there, like, once every 3-9 months, lol.

Recently, we connected with another developer and even agreed to join him in a Collaborative Bundle celebrating the release of his first game. We'd never done anything like that before, so we were curious to gain new experience and check out what it's all about. But the point is different, the developer asked us: "why don't you create your own community on Discord? It's the coolest platform, definitely do it!". After mulling over his inspiring words a bit, we figured it's worth a shot.

Honestly, we'd like to gather people here on Steam, as this is our most important platform. But even though players love Steam, and it's not just a game store but a whole ecosystem (profile, game library, achievements, badges, trading market, and so on), as a social network, it's just awful. There are many basic things missing here that could be organized simply, accessibly, and intuitively for both players and developers.

In general.. We'll try to gradually develop our Community on Discord, although it will take a lot of time and there's no idea if it will be worth it or not. There we'll have the opportunity to:

• Conveniently share news regarding the development and updates of our games, so that everything is in one place.
  
• Periodically show our works in progress, various funny things that don't belong here.
  
• Hold polls. Yeah, sometimes you really want to know the opinion of your audience, but here in Steam there are no such features.
  
• Occasionally hold free giveaways of our games in honor of some events. We all love freebies and gifts.
  

Moreover, for you there will be the opportunity to ask something from other players or us directly, seek help, share found bugs, suggest something funny regarding games. And overall, it will be easier to keep up with our news.

Hi, Ells&Pills is here!
It’s time for another round of discounts, but that’s not the main thing.



Today, we want to share with you information about an interesting indie horror game being created by our friend from Ukraine. This is his debut game — he’s working on it solo under very difficult life circumstances. So, we would really appreciate it if you could visit the game’s Steam page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3405860/Lurking_Within/

If the game catches your attention, please add it to your Wishlist! Today, this means a lot and is especially valuable for the creator.

Best Regards,
Ells&Pills.

Hi there!



After almost a year, we’re excited to announce the upcoming release of the new game Ells Tales, returning to the roots of the series! Missing the separate control of each of the character’s hands and that retro-style graphics?

So, we’re proud to present the new chapter — Ells Tales: Chairbound. Step into the shoes of a person tied to an office chair in the middle of a gloomy office building. Control the movement and rotation of the chair using physics, but be careful not to tip over, and find your way to escape before time runs out!

Add the game to your wishlist so you don’t miss the upcoming release:

Wishing you a great summer! All the best from the Ells&Pills team!

Hi, it's Ells&Pills!



Sorry if we've made you bored. Creating new games hasn't stopped, but it's hard to do more work than 4 hands allow :( Today we want to present you two new games that will soon be available on Steam:

• Ells Tales: Idols, the final game about the world of humanoid chickens with a quite unusual and strange ending. We've already said that all our games will be different, not just copied. This time you can expect a combination of horror and card game based on the rules of card soccer, with some fun innovations from us!
  If you've played the previous two games, it's time to add this game to your Wishlist! You won't have long to wait!

• Pigeon Hater, our meme game-collaboration with references to our horror games. If you like to play trash-funny games and have nothing against dark humor, then welcome, now we have such a crazy game in our collection! Add it to your Wishlist!
