Direct answer
The Old Gods, shrines, and worship themes are genuine parts of Welcome to Elderfield. Official Patreon patch context also links Gatis with a door at Greystone Estates. The complete pantheon, alignments, forge rewards, and current public-Demo access are not reliably established.
Official updates were checked on September 29, 2026. The latest documented full-game announcement is v1.0.2a, dated September 23; the separate Demo has a v1.0.0 changelog dated September 8. Older Demo and alpha research below retains its original evidence boundaries. These announcement versions do not guarantee which build is installed on your device. Full-game, Demo, and Patreon changes are kept separate throughout the guide.
What the research confirms
The official store describes seeking the Old Gods as part of the game's activity set, while footage and a researched guide show shrine interaction. A v0.10.5 Patreon patch specifically discusses the Gatis-related Greystone Estates door. That confirmation applies to the named historical context and does not prove every listed deity or location in other builds.
The September 18 full-game changelog explicitly names the Hagroth room and fixes a text loop when chopping its trees. This is new official evidence for that room context. It does not supply a pantheon index, alignment bonus, God Forge recipe or verified route into the room.
Confirmed here means either an official source states the point directly or two independent sources agree on the same observable behavior. It does not mean every related number, location, or unlock condition is known. Exact values stay out of the confirmed section unless the collected material supports them at the same version level.
How to use this information
Treat a shrine as a build-specific discovery and read all in-game text before choosing an alignment or spending an offering. Record the god name, location, day, and distribution channel when testing a route. Do not craft toward a fan-listed god-forged item until its recipe and unlock appear in the current build.
Use the confirmed sequence first and check the in-game wording before committing rare materials or long sessions. Interface labels and broad mechanics are more stable than balance values, rewards, and exact routes during development. A step marked Pending verification (待确认) is a research lead, not a guaranteed instruction for the current build.
Demo, Alpha, and launch boundaries
One guide lists Gatis, Delvek, Kaal, Daeus, Hagroth, Valtris, Nezroth, and Xxarteck with domains and rewards, while another source gives a different set of names. The old Gatis door context and new Hagroth room fix do not validate the full names, domains or rewards in those lists. Sunday switching, follower-room floors, and a farm near an Xxarteck shrine are Pending verification (待确认).
Welcome to Elderfield launched on Steam on September 10, 2026. Its public Demo and older itch or Patreon builds remain separate evidence. A detail can be authentic and still be obsolete or unavailable in another channel. Historical footage is not automatically proof of the released game's balance or unlock requirements.
Pending verification (待确认)
The full current pantheon, alignment requirements, attributes, worship schedule, God Forge recipes, shrine locations, and differences between public Demo, Patreon alpha, and launch build are unresolved. The conflicting god lists cannot be combined or voted on. Current-version deep-dive videos were not found, so storyline details remain deliberately limited.
Pending verification (待确认) means the collected sources did not reach the required confidence threshold. It may be supported by one guide, one developer comment, or footage whose build cannot be identified, but it lacks a matching current source. These points are retained because players search for them, while their uncertainty remains visible.
