Fifty seconds from the village calm to the forest's edge.
What is Eldmyr?
Beyond the village lies the forest, and in the forest lives everything your grandmother warned you about. Step into a world built on Nordic folklore, where every choice weaves the tale onward — and no two adventures are alike.
The world
Trolls, mist and mire — painted like a Bauer fairytale. The village, the black lake and the old mine are built by hand, and every playthrough finds its own paths. What you do stays in the world.
The characters
Companions with wills, weaknesses and opinions of their own about your plans — or make a character from scratch. The game master remembers who you are and plays accordingly. As for the humour, they supply it themselves.
How it works
Write what you do and the game master carries the tale onward — no rulebooks to study, no wrong moves. You pay in real money for what you play: no points, no subscription, and you see every öre.
Features
A game master who listens
Describe what you do, and the game master answers every action — remembering your choices, reading your character, and shaping challenges to fit your journey alone. No scripts. No rails. Just your story.
Every Scene, Illustrated
Your story, painted before your eyes. Every turn of the tale gets its own picture, in a style inspired by the fairytale worlds of John Bauer and Arthur Rackham — hushed forests, long shadows, and trolls that look like they've been standing there a very long time.
Hear Your Story Come Alive
Immerse yourself fully as a dramatic narrator reads your adventure aloud, accompanied by atmospheric music that shifts with the mood of your tale.
Explore a Living, Breathing World
Traverse a hand-crafted world map with over 30 unique locations. Every journey reveals new encounters, hidden paths, and ancient secrets waiting to be discovered.
Share the Adventure
Bring friends along for the ride. With hot seat multiplayer for up to 3 players on tablet or TV, choose your roles and face the darkness together — all from the comfort of your couch.
Play From the Couch
Gather around the tablet or cast to the big screen. Eldmyr is built for hot seat gaming — pass the device, take turns, and experience the story together. No extra controllers needed.

The World of Eldmyr
At the edge of an ancient forest, the village of Eldmyr sleeps uneasily. The troll has taken the blacksmith's family. Strange lights flicker in the woods. And you... you've just arrived.
Eldmyr Village
A small settlement at the forest's edge, where brave souls gather before venturing into the unknown.
Troll Cave
Deep beneath the mountain, something ancient stirs. Few who enter return unchanged.
Dark Forest
Ancient trees whisper secrets to those who listen. But beware — the forest has its own agenda.
Black Lake
Still waters hide forgotten depths. The lake remembers what the world has forgotten.

Unique characters
The truly unique thing about Eldmyr is that you can create a character entirely your own. Describe who you want to be — a brave smith's apprentice, a cowardly bard, a cat convinced it's a general — and the storyteller brings them to life with a face, a voice and a place of their own in the tale. No one else plays quite yours.
Beta testers' favourites — ready to play
GrisaStina
Baker
Bakes bread sturdy enough for self-defence. Has opinions on all your plans, especially the bad ones.
SnorBosse
Necromancer
A grumpy old man with a runny nose and a knack for resurrection. He's never satisfied — but he always comes back.
Ville the Wight
Wight
Small of stature, big of mouth. Ville knows every path, stone and shortcut in the forest — and will happily remind you that you took the wrong one. Kind when it counts, sour just in case.

How the game is built
How we work. The world of Eldmyr is built by people — the village, the troll cave, the black lake, the characters and the adventure they live in. A story engine, driven by AI, improvises the tale, the pictures and the voice within that world as you play. It is our game master's voice, not our author. The visual style draws on John Bauer and Arthur Rackham, artists whose work has long been in the public domain — no living artist's style is imitated. And the same honesty that applies to the price applies to the technology: you see exactly what happens, and what it costs.
A storytelling RPG rooted in Nordic folklore — dark, whimsical, hand-built.
Pay only for what you play. Real money, real prices, no subscription, no coins.
A game master that remembers your choices — and knows your bard is a coward.
Trolls, mist and mire — painted like a Bauer fairytale.
