Hey Elk Tourists, My name is Joseph and I am the community manager for Akupara Games. Akupara Games is now the new publisher for Welcome to Elk! https://youtu.be/m8IXwozXHXw Welcome to Elk was loved by the team and we are glad to pick it up and be able to support it. Bringing real life stories to a digital medium is incredible, and were really excited to introduce more players to the unique stories that lie within. I hope you enjoy your time in Elk. - Riv otter
You might have seen that we announced our next game, Dead Pets Unleashed! You can play the demo on Steam and support on Kickstarter right now!
There's not long left on the Kickstarter, and be so grateful if you can help us reach our goal!
If you've already backed the Kickstarter, we recently added our physical merch options as add ons, be sure to grab a t-shirt, pins, patches, and stickers if you haven't already!
We're also excited to share that we do plan on bringing the game to Linux, as well as PC and Mac - we're not ready to announce any more platforms as this time, but keep an eye out!

We also wanted to share some details on the feminism in our game!
We, Triple Topping, are a feminist game studio, and we always want to tell stories we can relate to. With Dead Pets Unleashed, our goal is to have these stories out in the open, not to have our characters hide away and feel shame. We tell the stories we find important, exactly the way we want to. If we want a dildo in the trailer, then we put a dildo in the trailer!
We have personally never played a game that talked openly about menstruation or female masturbation (but if you have played other games that do, please tell us!!! We want to play them too!!!). We feel that so often, games with female protagonists shy away from showing her as a full and complete human. A character might be dating, but would never mention being on their period on the first date (maybe other people wouldn't either, but you should be able to!!).
We think that games like this are important. It's easy to say that society is equal, but women are losing the rights to healthcare, abortion, and bodily autonomy. Women still do the majority of the domestic labor, they make less money, they are killed by their partners, and they are told to be shameful of their bodies. We think times are changing and hope that Dead Pets Unleashed will resonate with you all because of this.
Whilst on the surface, Dead Pets is a very fun and colorful game, we also wanted to include some heavier storylines in the game as well. We are aiming to show different kinds of feminist topics and issues, from the inclusion of a minigame where you can clean Gordy's sex toy, as women are less often shown to be on the receiving end of pleasure, and even less often included in the conversation about masturbation.
We wrote Gordy, the player character to be energetic, and sometimes rude, to be loud, and take up space. In media, it's often men who get to tell jokes, to be irresponsible and hotheaded.
In a more serious storyline, Gordy is a victim of sexual harassment. The band's first taste of success comes at the cost of Gordys mental health and physical well-being, she struggles with what it means to be a victim, and how to move forward. We wanted to tell this story from Gordy's perspective, hoping to become a game to represent victims.
It was not an easy decision to add this storyline to the game. We felt this was an important part of the story to tell. It is both the personal experience of members of our team and an offense that occurs every day, regardless of circumstances.
We are working with a consultant on this to ensure the storyline is handled in a sensitive way, and there will be tools implemented for you as the player to ensure your comfort and safety while playing.
If you have had similar experiences, please know that you are not alone and that this was not your fault.

This update fixes a problem with save files and achievements that were introduced in the last patch. The last patch introduced a bug where save files were being saved to and read from a wrong location. This meant that users who played before the patch, couldn't load their saves. This has now been fixed, and your saves should be back. In case you've played the game while between the last patch and this patch, the two saves will be merged together, picking the file from each save, that is the furthest along. Sorry to everyone who experienced the bug. If you have any problems or need further assistance, feel free to contact us on our Discord server or mail support@tripletopping.com Hope you have fun! (Thanks to Jeanette and Bigfoot for reporting the problem)
This patch fixes a couple of issues introduced in the latest release. Fixed:
On the rocky shores of Elk island, sits a small town that's home to a tight-knit community. A cast of weird and wonderful characters who have a story to tell.
Stories with heartwarming humour, dramatic twists and tragic tales of misfortune - all based on truth.
You'll play as Frigg, a city girl and carpenter's apprentice, who on Elk will meet the local townsfolk and follow their ups and downs while also meeting the people who told these original stories.
Featuring:
A hand crafted narrative based on powerful true stories.
Untold tales that will move you.
Humorous and heartwrenching dialogue.
Inventive and memorable mini games.
An illustrative, charming art style.
AND -
IT'S STILL 30% OFF FOR ONE MORE DAY! (The Steam Summer Sale ends tomorrow)
The summer is here and the sun is shining!
(Or winter and snow, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere)
But either way we're celebrating:
Hello everyone!

Nothing makes us happier than seeing Anders happy!
Hello!
We have exciting news to share - last night at Spilprisen (The Danish Game Awards) Welcome to Elk won Best Visuals!
We're over the moon - it was a big surprise and we're so humbled and delighted to have won, especially being listed among such other strong nominees with their amazing, beautiful looking games.
It was really important for us to create a visual medium that could balance the true stories Welcome to Elk is based on. To make sure we could present our fun, drinking anecdotes with humour and that our more personal, tragic stories could be presented with empathy and compassion.
So we're thankful to the judges that they thought we accomplished this and presented us with this award!
And for anyone who hasn't yet journeyed to the island of Elk -
This year we launched Welcome to Elk, our biographical adventure game based on true stories.
We're really proud of what we accomplished and since it's the end of the year we thought we'd celebrate again!
We also wanted to celebrate all the players that have already travelled to Elk and enjoyed their visit!
(And for those who haven't played yet - it's still 25% off right now for the Steam Winter Sale!)
Thank you for playing and sharing your amazing responses, it means everything to know you enjoyed our game!
And for now - from all of us at Triple Topping, Happy New Year!
Dear Elk Tourists,
We're happy to announce that...
Tomorrow is the last day of Steam Autumn Sale so there's still time to pick up Welcome to Elk at a -25% discount https://store.steampowered.com/app/1015940/Welcome_to_Elk/
Dear Elk Tourists! We are happy to announce that Welcome to Elk is part of Steam Autumn Sale 2020, so if the game is not yet in your library or if you need a birthday present for a friend - now is a good time to strike! Because right now you get..
This post shares insider stories about some of the mini games you can play in Welcome to Elk.
These are some of our more playful examples, but keep in mind that this game is based on true stories which have both humor and dark moments.
Dont worry, no spoilers here
Did you know that Andreas Busk used the sound of frying bacon for the rain sound in Welcome to Elk? Last week we released the official game soundtrack of Welcome to Elk, and on that occasion we got Composer and Sound Designer Andreas Busk to talk about his awesome work on the game
Almost a month after the release of the game we can finally announce that...
If you liked the music in Welcome to Elk we have some good news for you..
Welcome to Elk is about telling true stories that reflect the themes in our lives. Some are tragic, others are filled with humour and love. Every character in the game has a story to tell, but there are more stories lurking under the surface than you might think. In Welcome to Elk you will find many messages and things hidden around the island that each contain their own little story. Some tell smaller personal stories about the people of the Triple Topping team, others are related to games that have a special place in our hearts. There are many, so we cannot show you all of them. But that would also ruin the fun of an egg hunt.
Elk island is populated with various types of animals, some rarer than others. In this post we will tell you a bit about the creatures of Welcome to Elk.
Welcome to Elk is an adventure game set on a fictional island stitched together with true stories and tall tales, and inhabited by the people who lived them. On Elk, you will meet weird and wonderful characters, but the island is also populated with interesting creatures.
