Welcome to Elk (tuxdb.com)

▶

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.

Elk

It goes without saying that Elks live on the island of Elk. One of the true stories of Welcome to Elk revolves around the character Sue who experiences an Elk stepping on her head. Elks are the largest species in the deer family and can weigh up to 330 kg (727 lb). But in the original story told to us, it was actually a muskox which can become even heavier! Imagine a muskox stepping on your head. Ouch

Klumben

Our beloved Klumben is a pretty large rabbit in lovely pink and white colors. Klumben is Anders pet rabbit and best friend, and theres actually a whole story dedicated to this beautiful creature which you will experience in the game. But be aware that the stories of Elk are not always rainbows and sunshine..

Larry the Fish

Elk might be a little mysterious sometimes.. for example when fish starts talking to you. Larry is one of those fish but hes good and he can take a joke. You can find Larry at the local bar, The Hermit.

Ynglet

The Ynglet is a strange looking fish, but it swims really well. There is actually a whole meditative platformer game dedicated to Ynglet, which you can play later this year on Steam. But at the moment, it lives in a fish tank at Mr. Bos place.

Seal

As Elk is surrounded by water you can find different sea animals here, for example different fish and a curious seal.

The mysterious Gelk

We cant say much about this mysterious creature, but it lives somewhere out there on Elk and I heard it sings really well.

If you are interested in meeting the animals yourself, you can explore Elk and its true stories on Steam now as we just released the game this month! And now for the important questions...

What is your favorite animal on Elk?

Tales of real stories

Welcome to Elk, an adventure game set on a fictional island stitched together with true stories and tall tales, and inhabited by the people who lived them.

Story

You play as Frigg, a young carpenter trading their busy life in the city for an apprenticeship in a small town. When she arrives in Elk, Frigg worries that the slower pace of life will be boring (they don’t even have the internet), but quickly discovers nothing could be further from the truth!

Tragic stories told with love and sometimes humour

The stories reflect the drama of our lives, on Elk it’s known that humour, love and death go hand in hand. Life may seem hard sometimes, but it is always followed by laughter.

Make new friends

On Elk, you will meet weird and wonderful characters - people whom the world has either ignored or forgotten. Follow their ups and downs, their odd drinking rituals and their unique ways of tackling whatever life throws at them.

Unique mini games

Help your new friends on Elk through playful mini games. All games are uniquely tailored to underline the story and the mood of the game.

Meet the people who told the original stories

We value the importance of storytellers, those who carry the tales of others and share them. That's why, in Elk, you will also meet the living storytellers who inspired us to make this game.

How we used true stories in the game?

True stories? how to use a true story in an ethical way? This is how we have dealt with it in Welcome to Elk:

The stories in Welcome to Elk, are told by the people who we know and/or were there when the events took place. All are told from memory. The way they are used both on our webpage and in the game is true to the core story but everything like names, locations and other details are changed, renamed and often re-framed to protect the real people behind them, therefore, we call them tall tales. The stories are not one to one like you would experience in true crime for example. They are rewritten and combined to one linear narrative. Characters may play a role in one story where they where not a part of originally and only us who designed it will ever know – or come close to the real truth of the stories.

Welcome to Elk might look like a “fun” game but it’s about telling stories – some are filled with humour others are dark, but they go hand in hand.
