About the Game
Welcome to Elderfield is a cozy horror RPG where the abnormal is normal, the townsfolk are odd, the eldritch beings watch over you and the local news reports seem stranger by the day.
Everything in Elderfield is unsettling, from the haunting, horror manga-inspired, hand-drawn visuals to the dark, lofi soundscapes composed by Dated. Despite the strange creatures lurking just outside your home, those who wander into Elderfield rarely find a reason… or option, to leave.
Customize your home and character, unravel daily mysteries, befriend the odd townsfolk (or even marry one!), go fishing, spend your afternoons mining and forage through the surrounding wilds… There's lots to do in Elderfield!
Cultivate your land, harvest your crops, and stop the growth of unruly tentacles. Manage a variety of strange, otherworldly livestock, grow useful crops like corn, pumpkins, teeth or eyeballs and hope that beings from the woods don’t wander onto your farm.
Choose your difficulty, how much suffering can you endure? For players seeking a peaceful life of harvest and discovery, cozy difficulty offers a more laid-back experience. For those who crave a challenge, the Old Gods are waiting.
Elderfield features a deep, turn-based combat system where you must utilize gathered resources, strategic buffs and diverse equipment to survive encounters with ancient, Lovecraftian horrors.
Die, learn, farm, and forage… Then die again.
Full RPG life sim with relationships, customization, fishing and more
Hand drawn horror manga inspired artwork
Dark lofi soundtrack by Dated
Build your farm, manage animals, mine and forage to build resources

Fixed a lot of misc. missing localized text

The tile highlight image will now hide when an event is running, making it less visually obtrusive
(Hopefully) Fixed the "Cannot set properties of null (setting 'baseTexture')" crash when transitioning from maps with a fog effect
Fixed some audio issues relating to the radio (such as the BGM volume setting being turned down)
Fixed sprite-based mouse interaction not working properly
Fixed holding control to pick up ground decorations sometimes requiring many tries to work

If you experience any bugs, please post them in the Discussions forum, and I will fix any stragglers as they come up.
CHANGELOG
Large placeable objects now fade out when the player moves behind them (Fruit Trees, Water Wheel, Windmill, Wind Turbine)
Fixed Treasure Tentacles vanishing on map change instead of sticking around for the full day when they spawn
Added more particle effects for hitting wood/rocks and other random things
Added better mouse cursor hiding logic so the cursor will hide more easily and consistently for gamepad users
Smoothed out various map loading stutters and delays, especially when loading save files and between areas
Fixed the radio not respecting the master and BGM volume settings
Fixed the radio menu showing two selection cursors
Fixed item harvest messages sometimes showing the wrong item name
Made the item harvest messages replace each other instead of queue, meaning lots of repeated harvests will not lead to a long period of item message popups until they all finish, instead they will clear shortly after you finish harvesting
Removed 0.5x and 1.5x zoom options, as they always looked distorted. 0, 1, and 2 are still there, which are the most common anyways
Fixed rocks on the farm looping the "overburdened" message
Fixed a crash caused by pressing inputs during the boot sequence
Fixed the correct button prompts not displaying in the tutorial for SteamDeck users
Several changes were made to the boot process to make it more stable. Proton users will still need to use v9.0-4.

Fixed a bug that enabled some incorrect demo features
Added a failsafe to keep trough feed limits from changing to impossible numbers
Fixed some stats showing way too many decimal places

CHANGELOG
The action choice menu now always appears relative to the player's screen position
Fixed using the wardrobe on high zoom settings
Added more stats to the Status menu, such as Hit Rate etc.
Element names are now colored in the Status menu to match the color of damage numbers from attacks of that element, hopefully making it easier to understand what you are being hit by.
Fixed Harvest Chambers not always showing the right farmer price
Fixed the changes to the difficulty options not taking effect in the previous update
PATRONS CHANGELOG

Fisherman Herb will now appear at the Lakefront even on Lakefront-specific news days (to avoid some early game confusion)

PATRONS CHANGELOG
Fixed Hardwood not producing paper in the Slicer
Fixed Wood not being useable in the Slicer
Fixed the Slicer giving Radiant Scales instead of Duskmelon Slices
Fixed Farmer Sven only accepting exact amounts of Dense Fertilizer Lv2
Fixed some fish item IDs being mixed up at the Campsite, causing some unusual catches
Made some changes to possibly stop some of the "Scope of: Null" crashes
NON-PATRONS CHANGELOG
Added a new mouse targeting system for combat. A new series of buttons will let mouse users switch and select targets (fixing the old janky system that didn't work a lot of the time due to overlapping enemies)
If there is only one enemy, it will now automatically be selected for your attack, reducing clicks required in combat
Enemy target cycling now works from left to right and vice-versa (rather than the order of the troop ID), making cycling through targets more intuitive
Cycling through enemy targets now loops continuously, so pressing right from the last enemy will loop back to the first
Streamlined the way most curses are applied in combat to speed things up (blessings will get the same treatment soon)
Added detailed info about curses to the combat log when they are applied , so non-mouse users can check their effects more easily

Fixed issues relating to selling items in shops
CHANGELOG

You can now scale the zoom from 0.5x to 2x the default zoom. This should help accommodate more screen sizes and improve accessibility
Added new config options: Tile Highlight Style/Color
You can now change between 4 styles of tile highlight images, and change between black or white
NOTE: The tile highlight image will appear out of place when zoomed in/out on old saves. Only adjust the zoom on old saves if you are using keyboard/gamepad or don't care about the odd tile highlight placement

Battle items now deal 2x damage to non-boss enemies
