Quick start
New to Elderfield? Follow these steps before you leave the house.
- 1
Install the free Steam demo
Wishlist the full game and download the demo from Steam. Confirm Windows 10, a controller or keyboard, and enough disk space using the system requirements page.
- 2
Pick Cozy or a combat preset
Cozy mode trivializes fights. Normal keeps 100% enemy stats and a small gold penalty on death. Read the combat guide before you lock in Nightmare.
- 3
Leave the house, then find the farm
Talk to Tanner outside, then walk west to Farmer Hans. The Getting Started and farming pages cover cleansing tentacles and your first wheat.
- 4
Learn sleep, baths, and food
Bathing heals and strips curses. Sleeping after 6pm rolls luck events. Staying up stacks both gifts and dangers. See sleep and curses before you skip a night.
- 5
Enter the mall when you have food
The local mall is the first dungeon. Bring cooked meals, a real weapon, and the mall walkthrough before you chase the Hall Monitor.
