Home Keeper is a proof-of-concept for a short adventure/ RPG game I want to make! 

This game is about a father and son needing to finish their chores before mom comes home with dinner from work. To take care of these chores, the son treats each task like an RPG quest! Will he be able to get everything done before mom gets home?

This demo focuses on the tutorial/ battle system and exploring a small portion of the home! 

I felt the best way to express what I wanted to make was using something like GB Studio to help me figure out how I wanted to make this game. I want to expand this idea into RPG Maker, Godot, or possibly GameMaker (might end up going with Godot). (UPDATE: I'm sticking with GB Studio whoops.) I'm pretty proud of what I've been able to put into this demo even though there's no audio or music (yet). 

This was originally released to my Ko-Fi supporters a month ago so I could get feedback. Now that it's public, I would appreciate YOUR feedback and comments about what you think! 

Have fun and I look forward to hearing from you guys!

very cool demo, it did take me some time to realize how to get out the first room but i eventually figured it out

Thanks! Glad you were able to figure it out!
