Note from developer: 

When I was 18 years old I saw my first ever game dev log on YouTube and from that single video I decided to start making games. The result was this very game The Elysian Field it took me about 6 months to make figuring out how to code, how Unity works and building it on a laptop that was begging me to just let it die. After I released the game on Steam I refused to look at it again thinking about the game and how it wasn't fun compared to the other games I saw on Steam and how it was a walking simulator with no gameplay and assets and at the time I thought this mediocre short game was the best I had to offer. 

I am now 23 still working on games and recently I decided to try and find the Unity project and rerelease the game adding features I couldn't have when I was just starting out and giving it a layer of polish that 18 year old me couldn't. Unfortunately the project is lost to time so instead I decided to fire up the game on Steam to face what I thought was the worse thing I had ever made and honestly I was pleasantly surprised. All the things I had built up in my head over the past few years about the game were kind of true it is cringe and won't win any game awards but for an 18 year old game dev with no experience I am proud of myself. We all start somewhere and I am fortunate enough to be able to show people my start. 

I recently made the game free to play on Steam and have decided to rerelease it here. If you're wondering why I added this note I have no idea but maybe some other first time dev will see this and get some motivation and maybe in a few years I'll see this note again after releasing a real commercial game and be able to reminisce.  Anyway if you read this entire note I appreciate you and hope everything goes well for you.
