Welcome to Elk Comes to Linux!

Dear Elk Tourist 💌

We've just released a patch that brings Welcome to Elk to Linux! Until February 17, Welcome to Elk is 20% off to celebrate. (That's not the only platform it's launching on but we won't talk about that here... 🤫)

Please note: Welcome to Elk is not automatically able to use Proton, so you must enable it manually to play the game. Instructions on how to do that can be found here. Please let us know if you have any questions.
