About Elsie
 

Elsie is a neo-retro, hyperkinetic, rogue-like action-platformer filled with procedurally generated levels, an army of robots to blast through.

After an attack on the City of Neotoño, Dr. Grey takes refuge in a beachside bastion known as the Sapir Wharf.

Here she creates Elsie: an android given a mission to uncover the mystery behind the attack and save planet Ekis for the disasters that have plagued it.

Players must dash, dive, and shoot their way through stages filled with dynamic enemies and intense boss fights, all while performing perfectly timed precision parrying. In this roguelike rollercoaster players will die and die and die again – but you’ll always get back on their feet to embrace the chaos.
 

Features

Elsie will be launching for PC and consoles in summer 2024. Download the demo and Wishlist the game on Steam now.
