About the Game

Embark upon an unconventional quest to Save Your Mother!


Alice Andersson, a world-renowned scholar, faces a dilemma of grand proportions when her mother falls gravely ill. No traditional cures have been able to save her; not even the most unconventional methods have worked! Join her as she discovers the legend about the Elohim Cube, a mystical artifact that might be their only hope. Long lost to the sands of time, the Cube is said to possess incredible healing powers. Over the ages, many have attempted to retrieve the cube, but to no avail. All were foiled by the long and arduous path that leads to the cube, and in turn, salvation. Will you be able to unravel the mysteries of the Elohim Cube?

I was very disappointed by that game. 2 hours gameplay for 7 € is just too much. - I was expecting a rpg style game. But it didn't use anything that would justify that. You can't use any rpg style leveling up (not enough monsters), you can't equip different things (only the standard set is available). It's more of a puzzle game than a rpg - The fights are just annoying. As you can't level up its always just a game of luck. The ice lady for example has one move that kills you immediately. I had to replay her 6 times until she finally stopped using that attack and i beat her. - Only 4 levels (yep, thats it), and the levels are also short. Basically per level you have about 3 mazes on each floor with random puzzles. And whats worse: the lava level is so frustrating because you HAVE to walk over lava to get anywhere and you get hurt while doing it. And the casket-Lava-Race mini game is also frustrating because the controls just don't work. Sometimes you press right and nothing hap...

[h1] Stumbling upon games is nice,[/h1] So, I guess I bought this game the day it was released, by pure accident. Well, it's safe to say that I do not regret the purchase! It's a neat game with an endearing visual style, story, and the gameplay being tight like spandex. Being one of the first few to play this game is a very different challenge, you don't have any resources on the internet to tell you how much of anything you need for an acheivement. But, however, nothing can spoil your experience with the game, which is SO NICE!!! Something that is worth mentioning are all the references, even though the game's atmosphere is a little tense, and rightly so, the humor in these keeps the game feeling a little more light hearted, which I much appriciated after a certain VERY VERY unnerving part of the game, which, by the way, HOLY BUCKETS THAT'S SPOOKY DONE RIGHT! HOOOOOO MAN I WAS ACTUALLY SWEATING BUCKETS AT THAT PART! It's a truly wonderful game though, that rewards you for doing smalle...

[h1]Can't really say I was a fan. (Ver 1.42) [/h1] After getting a coupon for -90%, I figured why not, but having played through the game I couldn't help but see a bunch of problems that kinda need attention, as well as general criticisms that I don't think will change but I still did not really like. * Really do not like the combat. Combat is real time which isn't necessarily bad, but because what you could do was typically very limited and only could be done at certain times, it felt really bad. For example, in a fight you could basic attack, cast a spell, guard or use an item such as a healing potion. However, fights would typically devolve in to mindlessly doing two things - casting your strongest spell and occasionally topping off your health and mana. There was very little variety in how to play fights because you didn't have time to think and plan what to do, and you objectively had a strongest attack which you'd just spam in order. As such a lot of bosses and enemie...

PROS: - unlockable [spoiler]hardcore mode[/spoiler]... - cool [spoiler]casket race[/spoiler]... - amazing drawings - cool music - nice mapping - nice short story - sidequests - cool riddles - [spoiler]secret mini game[/spoiler] CONS: - ...with unfair sections - ...which is hard to control at the beginning - [spoiler]hardcore mode[/spoiler] seems impossible to beat RESULT: If you look for a great RPG Maker game, that is fun to play, here it is. :D But of course not everything is perfect, for the first run everything is fun. If you try to reach all secrets, then you encounter a really unfair boss, which kills you instantly without a chance of winning. To actually beat this one guy, you need to grind your level up to 15 at least!!! The [spoiler]hardcore mode[/spoiler] seems like a bad joke. :/ First problem you can die easily without having any control about it [spoiler]when you're drugged[/spoiler]. Because you have to find 5 random spawning events in time, if you don't, game over... S...

EDIT: After talking to the developer, yeah, maybe JUST comparing the game to Undertale didn't get my non-recommendation across. So I went back, re-wrote my old script, and put together a full video going into my thoughts on the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd19092D-KE

I take back everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NihiothZhEA I decided to play this game a bit more and ran into this shit. The dev has no idea how to code anything. Look at the fight and tell me if any of my deaths are my fault. This boss has an instant kill attack thats RNG. It can use it whenever... it can open up with a "FUCK YOU" instant kill or it can wait until you get her down to 300 hp and use it. It's basically a rush to kill her before she uses it... and this game is being sold for 10 fucking bucks on steam. It's not worth it... Mapping is bad Story is bad Art is unique and it could work if everything was custom and the dev actually had some literary talent. Instead we get anime tropes the game. This isn't fun. This isn't worth 10 bucks. This feels like a rip off. I would play this game for free, and hell I may even pay 1 dollar for it... but no... not 10. Don't pay for this game until the price drops significantly. I cant in good conscience even say anything re...

[table] [tr] [th][h1] My Playthrough [/h1][/th] [th]https://youtu.be/eXOPSTXGxXk[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td][h1]The Review[/h1][/td] [td]Wow this game is not very good. First off combat is not fun. I can see what the dev was trying to do with the active time battle system but that just made battles more annoying. Secondly the map design is terrible as their are long pathways that leads to dead ends with nothing. Thirdly the art is very inconstant, for example Alice looks good but the NPCs looks very derpy. Finally the game has many wasted mechanics like fishing for example. All in all even for the price I can not recommend.[/td] [/tr] [/table]

This was quite an enjoyable adventure with a loveable main character, good story telling and actually pretty good quick turn based combat. I received the game with a discount using a coupon but after beating it would have definitely paid the full price. Plenty of boss fights, difficult but definitely decernable puzzles and certainly humorus moments. The game is a bit short but satisfying...though I couldn't help but want more. Now I am off to try hardcore mode and figure out where all the stuff I missed is. Looking forward to see what else the developer pops out. (UPDATE) Hardcore mode is a bit beyond me which (as someone who loves achievement hunting) is a bit sad. Made it to the last boss. but said boss on hardcore has a speed buff I can't see how to beat. You don't get your turn for a full minute and may or not be alive.

RPG Maker strikes again! Save Your Mother is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. There is some custom artwork to go along with the flipped RPG Maker assets that the developer is tacitly trying to claim credit for. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware an...
