Hello everybody, my name is COLNELIUS and I am the developer of Clandestinity of Elsie. Thank you for playing my past creation!

I decided to take up game development once again, and have been treating it as a full-time job since last November, exactly 1 year ago. Taking what I learned previously and then greatly improving my skillset, I will soon be releasing my next project, The Dark Dwellers, which is a side-scrolling action game in the same vein as Metroidvanias/Souls-like games.

Check the game's Steam page out below!

Thank you for reading!

Hello all,

It has been five years since Albin and I completed this game and released it on Steam. We had a great launch and I appreciated all feedback I received, the good and the bad. It has become evident to me that the game, at this point, is no longer profitable and as such I will be making Clandestinity of Elsie permanently free on Steam starting tomorrow (March 31st, 2020). I am not disappointed in the slightest; it has been this way for a few years and the game will always have a place in my heart.

Five years have gone by and I am at a different spot in my life; game development is no longer something I practice and as such I will not be able to provide support or updates to the game. Early on we had some issues that we ironed out quickly, so I hope any bugs left in the game are at a minimum.

I hope all of our previous players enjoyed their experience in this short psychological-horror adventure we created. If you have friends who you think may enjoy the experience, let them know!

I hope you and your loved ones are all safe in these trying times of quarantine and illness, and I'd like for this game to give you something to kill the time, or to use as a distraction!

So long!

-Cole

Placement is a novel take on chess that transforms the classic game into a logic puzzler. The goal of the game is to place all the chess pieces on the board such that every piece is protected exactly once.

There seems to be a little confusion with the controls for some people, so I will clarify them here. I can only blame myself as the developer for the confusion, and will try to clarify controls in the next build. Full controls are below.


When you first start the game you will need to use the arrow keys. I personally do not like the arrow keys binding. It is there as a default so that users with non-QWERTY keyboards can properly navigate to the Options menu at the main menu and change their bindings there. People with non-QWERTY keyboards would have one hell of a time trying to navigate the menus with WASD.

Once you save these settings they will be saved forever, even uninstalling the game will retain your save files/settings, so you only have to do this once, so I recommend changing your keybindings to be the first thing that you do.

(These letters written are based on QWERTY keyboards)

Arrow Keys for Movement
Spacebar = Confirm / Action Button
C / Esc = Open Menu / Back
A = Equip Gun
S = Shoot
D = Reload
Left Shift = Run (toggle)
X = Flashlight (toggle)

(These letters written are based on QWERTY keyboards)

W = Up
A = Left
S = Down
D = Right
Spacebar = Confirm / Action Button
V / Esc = Open Menu / Back
E = Equip Gun
G = Shoot
R = Reload
Left Shift = Run (toggle)
F = Flashlight (toggle)


(these are based on an Xbox 360 Gamepad)

D-Pad = Movement
Left Stick = Movement
A = Confirm / Action Button
B / Start = Open Menu / Back
Right Bumper = Equip Gun
Right Trigger = Shoot
X = Reload
Left Bumper = Run (toggle)
Y = Flashlight (toggle)

I hope this helps people out and clears up some confusion!

Clandestinity of Elsie is now available for purchase! It will be 25% off for the first week of release, so get it while you can!
