Elfheim is a fantasy visual novel made with Ren'Py by Elfheim and shown through 2D CG artwork. You play as a male protagonist in a magical land filled with elves, mysteries, and adventures, but the story does not follow a standard quest path. It leans toward lewd adult situations, including a harem and kinetic novel style.
The current build is Chapter 2 version 0.2.2, dated December 31, 2023, and development is ongoing. It is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English, without censorship. The changelog lists no new additions for this latest version, though earlier Chapter 2 updates added images, variations, text, and music. A March 30, 2023 Steam release of Chapter 1 version 1.0.2 arrived as well.
Developer's description
Elfheim
