Yes. Welcome to Elderfield is Steam Deck Verified. Steam displays the Verified status, and an official August 28 announcement says the game passed checks covering installation, performance, controls, and display without requiring manual adjustments. This site has not independently benchmarked it.
What the Verified badge tells you.
The developer/publisher announcement describes Verified as the badge awarded when a submitted game operates well on Steam Deck without manual adjustment and presents no significant installation, performance, control, or display problems during review.
Verified, not merely a community compatibility report.
The Steam PC listing also advertises full controller support.
Display suitability is part of the official Verified announcement's stated checks.

Three checks before buying for Deck.

- If a precise frame-rate or battery target matters, look for recent measurements that name the game version and Deck model.
