Elf City is a Ren'Py adult RPG by La Cucaracha Studios, using animated 2D CG and AI CG visuals. It spans three chapters and parodies western RPG settings. You play a young dark elf man living with his landlady and roommate among the upper ranks of dark elf society, a proud matriarchal culture with a former slaver history. Unlike most dark elf men, who feel arousal only once a year, your character is unusually responsive, while a love goddess in his head complicates matters. The story blends dating sim, harem, and fantasy themes.
v0.17, released October 23, 2026, is an ongoing build for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android. It is uncensored and English, with Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian added. The update opens the sandbox, fixes grammar and dialogue, and replaces most images with webp to make the game five times smaller. Music was adjusted and compressed as .ogg files. Kara and Iserra have new sprites, the protagonist’s room in Act 0 is replaced, and a codex provides world information. Several scenes were finished or recolored, including Maloria’s prison scene. A temporary room option can unlock the codex without a new save.
Developer's description
Elf City is an RPG spanning three Chapters. You are a young dark elf male living with your [landlady] (lol) and [roomate] (lol) in the upper echelons of dark elf society. Dark Elves are a matriarchal (formerly) slaver culture and they're very proud of the fact.
Dark Elf men normally only get aroused once a year for mating, but you are different! You get aroused like any other young man!
Several times a day!
You have a love goddess inhabiting your head and making things worse. Dark elf women are insane and possessive. What sort of adventure awaits?
Parody of western RPG settings.
v0.17
Opens up the sandbox!
Major grammar fix and some slight changes in dialogue.
You can now play in
Spanish, Portuguese and Russian!
Converted most image files into
webp
format. That's why the game is 5x smaller now.
Changed some music around, also made sure they were .ogg format and small.
Kara and Iserra have new sprites!
MC's room in Act 0 has been replaced.
There is a codex with info about the world.
Maloria in Prison scene no longer wip (see gallery)
Two Tara scenes were recolored in act 0.
Vienna's scene had some colors re-touched.
I would recommend starting a new save just to see Kara and Iserra (for the last time) but if you don't, I left an option in the room to "unlock codex" (this will be gone next update).
v0.16
Extends story one more day (last time, next up is just sandbox)
The center of this update is that Vienna's sprite redone from scratch. She moves, blinks and talks.
A lot of the prologue art got retouched a bit, mostly to match eye color and other details.
A lot of the placeholder sprite art has been redone (it looks much better) but it's still ultimately a placeholder. (Support the game to make it not placeholders)
Kara and Iserra have little face icons for now (these will get replaced when they get proper sprites next update)
Bathroom BG in the prologue has been replaced with a real BG from a real artist. (the first of many)
The background for the scene with El and Ali in the prologue also got replaced by a better bg (it wasn't AI before, but it wasn't the style I wanted).
Windows icon updated, it also now has a Mac Icon and an android icon.
v0.15
Doesn't extend story, still ends in same place, but...
MALORIA'S SPRITE HAS BEEN REDONE FROM SCRATCH AND HANDRAWN, NOW MATCHES HOW SHE LOOKS IN CGs. HAS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. SHE TALKS AND BLINKS.
Tara's sprite got touched up a bit again.
The Vienna/Tara intro scene got retouched.
The Maloria in Prison CG got replaced with final version.
Gallery has been fixed up.
You'll notice there's a money counter starting in Act 1.
v0.14
Extends story throughout the first day in the lower city.
Introduces characters: Captain Mizri, Saki, Ryoko (the Tailor) and "Zith Woman"
The Police Station with interactable NPCs
Maloria in Prison scene (this cg is unfinished, will be replaced in next update)
Gave Tara's sprite a tail
v0.13
Extends story a bit, introduces several characters, including future romance target Oxra.
v0.12
Resized Kara's sprite a bit to make her match Iserra's height
Continues the "Iserra meet" scene with two scenes.
v0.11
AI CGs replaced with hand drawn ones.
Turned what was formally a cg into a background interaction (new npc in background present in prologue).
Created a gallery to view scenes.
Fixed a bug where if you skipped you glitched into a room that you couldn't back out of.
So with this we are done with the prologue and can move on to Act 1. The only thing we'll edit in the future is the sprites.
v0.10
WIP scenes no longer wip.
Title art replaced.
There's otherwise no new content, 0.11 will focus on replacing the remaining AI CGs.
v0.9
Prologue now fully playable
Two new scenes still in wip stage
Fixed main character's face in the bath scene.
Modified two backgrounds slightly
Modified the brand on Tara's ass and corrected its position.
I couldn't get everything I wanted done in this update. But it was either that or wait two more weeks. Version 0.10 will not include any new scenes, but will instead continue cleaning up the prologue. This will likely go on till 0.11.
The more of you become patrons, the easier this becomes!
Can we get five new patrons with this update?

SecretAgentClank2026-08-31★★★★★
Good potential to be an odd gem. Curious to see where it goes. Very early, so there isn't a lot of content yet, but I enjoyed the intro. Most of the character sprites to me look legit, but the game…
Friurier2026-07-20★★★★★
What a bad game if you even can call it "game" Art is 5\10 at best and gamplay is .... there is no gameplay, it's so bad, how did this even get such a high rating. P.S. I'm giving it…
Innocience2026-05-28★★★★★
A resounding meh. Art is inconsistent, dialog is nice, worldbuilding is a weird mix of fantasy and contemporary - though might as well just go all in and use Forgotten Realms terms, content is very short, no branching yet, story…
