In Elegy, you'll travel to three worlds and write stories about their long-dead societies. You’ll lose yourself in settings inspired by the works of poets Keats, Byron, and Shelley, and use the game's system of writing prompts to help create your own masterpieces.
Explore 27 different writing challenges, through which you create narratives about the worlds you visit, from multiple perspectives. In one challenge, you play an archaeologist, uncovering clues and writing about a city's final days; in another, you're a thief, composing a song about searching the wreckage for valuables; and in another, you're a bard penning a lament in rhyming couplets.
The developers created Elegy to share the joy of creative expression -- ideally, they want to give non-writers an environment in which they can tell stories. With visuals inspired by Romantic painter J. M. W. Turner, the game provides a playground for individual imagination, and a community where everyone is an artist. Elegy's developers, Dejobaan Games and Popcannibal, are leaving the discussion of what art or a game is to critics, and merely asking gamers, "What will you write?"
When you've finished writing a story, share it with other players via Steam Workshop; then read others' works, and commend your favorites.

Get Steam ready
You will need the Steam desktop client installed on your computer. If it is already installed, simply open it. Otherwise, install Steam before continuing with the activation steps below.
Sign in to your Steam account
Open Steam and sign in, or create an account if you do not have one. Check that you are using the account on which you want to activate your purchase.

In the Steam client, choose + Add a Game at the bottom-left, then Activate a Product on Steam. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Enter your Steam key
Copy the product key supplied with your purchase into the activation field and continue through the confirmation. Use the product key, not your order number.
