Players Explore Personal Narratives in 'Welcome to Elk'

'Welcome to Elk' is a biographical adventure game that was developed and published by Triple Topping, an indie studio that was founded back in 2017.

Set on a fictional island that's shaped by the true stories and exaggerated retellings of the people that inhabit it, Welcome to Elk prompts its players to explore the world as a young carpenter named Frigg, who recently left the city behind to take on an apprenticeship. With each character they encounter, players will have the chance to learn their story—which range from lighthearted and humorous, to dark and deeply emotional. To ensure its retellings are done accurately and ethically, Triple Topping works directly with its subjects to tell the stories in the game—however names, locations, and other personal details are changed.

Welcome to Elk is available on Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and macOS.
