In-game event14 May 2026Galician Localization Added!This update includes a single but significant change: · Galician localization has been added to the game. Huge thanks to the translator, Alex Arias-Cabarcos ! His portfolio on itch.io: alesuot On the downside: the Steam store itself supports a limited number of languages, so at the moment there is no way to add store page localization alongside the translation. In the case of our game, this app…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! This update includes the following changes: · The Polish localization of the game and store page has been updated. A huge thank you to the translator, Mateusz 'StanleyNovak' Szymański ! · ∞ difficulty: checkpoints have been added to the level, so instead of restarting the entire level you can now warp to the nearest checkpoint close to where you fell. Same as before — ho…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! Recently in the Steam Community we had a useful discussion about how scary the game is. On the one hand (personal opinion, of course), the game has literally one and a half truly scary moments that can frighten because of their suddenness. On the other hand, we’re all different people with our own quirks and life experiences. Plus, far from all players like scary games.…

A huge thank you to the translator, Radoš "rammba" Milićev! His Steam profile: rammbagrobar Best Regards, Ells&Pills
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! Well, actually, it's a joke, since these kinds of promotions are aimed at super popular games with massive budgets, massive sales, massive online, and all that massive stuff, which doesn't apply to our tiny little game at all. But we thought it'd be a fun way to bring all our players together, regardless of their experience. Did you really enjoy the game's difficulty and…
This update includes the following changes: · Added Turkish localization for the game and the Steam store page. · Added an option to disable music in the settings at the player's request. Additionally, we've started improving the Ells Tales: Idols game page. We've finally added a full game description, several screenshots, and published a major news post with an updated announcement, game detai…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! This major update includes the following changes: Bonus Mode: · A new type of enemy has been added. This addition slightly expands the game's world and bridges the gap between the harmless madmen from the upper floors and the monster at the end of the game. · The new chair-bound enemies have gotten a bit smarter. Now they can move backward, just like the main character.…
This small update includes the following changes: · A separate screen with holiday theme selection has been added to the main menu. The original game, Halloween theme are available for selection, and a Christmas theme will be added in December. · Now, when using the toy, it makes its own sound. In total darkness, it's sometimes hard to tell if you've managed to grab the toy in your hand. We've…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! This small update includes the following changes: · A REFRESH button has been added to the Leaderboard. Since information about other players' results is loaded from Steam, this action takes a small amount of time. We've slightly adjusted the timing of the table's update and also added a forced data refresh button if the game displays incorrect values when opening the Le…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! The big holiday for beloved horror games is just around the corner, and we decided not to settle for a boring holiday discount! So, we're thrilled to present you with a small thematic update. This update includes the following changes: · Temporary thematic content in honor of Halloween has been added to the game. The content will be available during the holiday discount…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! They say strength lies in diversity! So we proudly present a fun bundle of two indie horror games, each offering a unique gameplay experience and vivid emotions. Want to dive into the atmosphere of 1980s suburban America with student Cory Harper, or try yourself as an unnamed hero chained to an office chair in a strange Japanese office? No need to choose — experience bot…
This small update includes the following changes: · Some minor fixes have been made to the Leaderboard functionality so that the game doesn't send data when it's not needed. Also, one player managed to tweak a variable in their save file (or something like that) to 0, so that result ended up showing on the Leaderboard too. We won't touch this line, since it's our mistake and it looks funny! But…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! This update includes the following changes: · The game now features destructible environments, specifically glass surfaces. To implement this, we had to significantly rework the entire level geometry to separate the glass models from everything else, as this feature wasn't originally planned for the game. It might seem like a small detail that doesn't affect anything. Bu…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! This major update includes the following changes: · Leaderboard added (BETA). This feature was basically begging to be included right from the game's release, but alas, we were too dumb and didn't have the time to dive into C++ to make it happen. We develop all our games using the UE Blueprints visual programming system, and C++ is only used very rarely, when there's abs…
This small update includes the following changes: · The logic for the "OUR GAMES" button has been updated. The link now opens in the Steam overlay using a different method. Otherwise, it opens in the user's default browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc). The main reason for this change is that Valve tested the game on Steam Deck, and instead of opening the link, a black screen appeared. · Added a new "…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! We're thrilled to announce that starting today, Trading Cards, Badges, Emoticons, and Profile Backgrounds are now available for the game! Everything happened because of you and your amazing support! HUGE THANKS! <3 Our very first game, Ells Tales: Egg , also gained some popularity and was enjoyed by many players, but its path to unlocking Community Items has been delayed…
This small update includes the following changes: · Added Polish localization for the game and the Steam store page. · Added Czech localization for the game and the Steam store page. · Added Bulgarian localization for the game and the Steam store page. · Added Hungarian localization for the game and the Steam store page. · Adjusted the pricing of all our games in Polish Zloty and USD for the fo…
This update aims to improve clarity around certain in-game elements. We’ve hidden key information behind spoiler tags to preserve the experience for new players. But if you’ve already finished the game or watched playthroughs on YouTube, Twitch, etc., feel free to read on without worry. · Some players were confused by the man’s dialogue at the end of the game. We’ve slightly adjusted the final…
This small update adds a difficulty selection screen. It’s very challenging to please all players, as all players are different. There are casual gamers, there are hardcore gamers, and everyone has different levels of patience. As a result, we have created three difficulty levels: · Easy. At this difficulty level, the stability of the chair is increased by 2 times. You would have to intentional…
This small update includes the following changes: · An additional female character has been added to the game, so before you start you can now choose who you’d like to play as. We hope this small update brings you some joy! Take care of your knees! ;) · Minor bug fixes in the game's bonus mode. Best Regards, Ells&Pills
This small update adds partial controller support, the game has been tested on the original Xbox 360 controller. An important note: we develop games with a focus on keyboard and mouse, so the support is only partial. Specifically, the controller does not work in the menu because it is designed for mouse cursor navigation. It is possible that for our future games, we will redesign our menu to eq…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! Well, you enjoyed our fun idea for an additional game mode! So, get ready for a big update 番号0809! Step into the shoes of a special forces operative 番号0809 and perform a territory cleanup. No more office chairs and madmans will be a problem, as you have your trusty shotgun at hand and the ability to deliver a kick! :) This update includes the following changes: · A new g…
Hi, Ells&Pills is here! We thought that many of you, having spent anywhere from 1 to 10 (!!!) hours in the game, have probably at least once imagined causing chaos with those cursed office chairs and the madmans. So, just for fun, we made a little joke video that captures the whole idea. Check it out! :D And now we have one question for all of you. Would you want a bonus level like this in the…
This small update includes the following changes: · Added Spanish and Italian localization. · Minor changes to the 1st floor logic. The monster’s appearance is now slightly more predictable. Best Regards, Ells&Pills
This small update includes the following changes: · The phrase "R = RESTART" has been changed to "HOLD R = RESTART" for clearer understanding. · The flashlight position has been slightly adjusted, making it a bit easier to grab from a certain spot. · An additional effect has been added to the mechanical alarm clock. · The final text display time has been increased so the game less frequently re…
This small update includes the following changes: · Based on your feedback, we’ve added a new item that can help make the game a little easier. It can be found anywhere from floor 5 up to floor 8. We believe you’ll figure out what it does just by looking at the picture. ;) · Minor bug fixes. Best Regards, Ells&Pills
This small update includes just one, but very important change: · The collision of the game location has been completely reworked, including the stairways. It’s possible that the issues with the chair flipping at the geometry seams will occur less frequently or disappear altogether, which is something we really hope for. Best Regards, Ells&Pills
