A downloadable game

SAVE POINT combines an early 90's setting and aesthetic with classic RPG tropes to create unique, bite-sized adventures. The world has been overtaken by darkness and most of the protective wards called "Save Points" have been destroyed. Survivors can only make it so far before they're overwhelmed by monsters, and returned to the last Save Point they visited upon their inevitable defeat.

Choose from an expanding cast of colorful characters who linger at one such Save Point in the village of Croninburg, and complete their personal quests to unlock new content and learn the greater lore of SAVE POINT. Unlike most RPGs, a successful playthrough would only take between 30 minutes to an hour to complete a main goal... if you can live that long. However, optional challenges will become available when certain conditions are met for even more replayability.

Try it out if you enjoy games like Earthbound, FTL, Persona, and Slay the Spire!
