Elli's House — ports

Ports of Elli's House for Windows (C++), Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 3DS and PSP. The original game was created in GameMaker by the Glacial Moon Games team for GameJaaj 7. Development of these ports was assisted by AI.

The original Windows/GameMaker release is available on itch.io. That original itch.io version was made by the team without AI assistance; the AI disclosure in this repository applies only to the later ports.
