About Elin

A sequel to the legendary Japanese free game "Elona," which has inspired countless tales and adventurers who never returned. While retaining the traditional roguelike gameplay, Elin introduces crafting, survival elements, and base building/management, creating an even more open and chaotic experience.

Live freely as an adventurer with your companions and pets. The marks you leave and the scars you inflict upon this world are entirely up to you.

Key Features:
  • A sandbox, open-world RPG based on roguelike gameplay.
  • Live your life, survive, craft, build and manage bases and towns, enjoy housing, fishing, theft, music, farming, livestock breeding, childbirth, setting up shops, tourism, and much more.
  • A seamless blend of endless randomly generated content and carefully crafted fixed content faithful to the world setting.
  • A continuously expanding world and gameplay. Updates will continue even after the early access.
  • The prologue to an epic story revolving around humans and the Elea.

I was also unable to load my saved game (auto-saved game). The load button does nothing when clicked.
