Nov 13, 2020This is an absolutely incredible game, and easily my favorite of this year! It's an adventure game and a point-and-click hybrid with surreal elements, but what makes it stand-out is the uniqueness of how it tells its stories and the authenticity of its world and its characters. The ending had me ///// /// sobbing ///// //

Feb 15, 2022Loved this game. Short, but so so intense and pretty much a piece of art. Mature topics, Northern European humor and drama. Love it.

Mar 7, 2022I think Welcome to Elk is one of those games where the less you know about it going in, the better. That might seem an odd thing to write after a few hundred words trying to describe it, but it’s also so unique and unusual that whatever expectations you might have, they’re almost certainly not going to prepare you for what’s inside. And in a game so fundamentally about stories—not just telling stories that would otherwise risk being forgotten, but exploring the way stories are told and the lives they take on in the process—that willingness to reject expectations goes a long way.

CD-ActionDec 18, 2020The game’s biggest draw is the fact that it is based on true events. The developers changed the names of some places and people but all the stories you get to experience – some funny, some sad, others dramatic, or scary – really happened to someone. [12/2020, p.54]

Nov 30, 2020Welcome to Elk is an important game in that it makes the unimportant worthy of remembering, giving them the same gravitas any celebrity automatically receives. We tell the bad stories because we’re left holding baggage of an unknown weight, but we need to tell the good stories as well — to shine a light against the otherwise dark moments that seemingly act as traumatic bookmarks in life.
