Lifeline

Controls: Arrow keys to move, Z to interact/select, X to go back/open menu. You can also use the mouse!

Lifeline is a short (~1-2 hour long) RPG about an herbalist and her friends, trying to save a village from a mysterious sickness. It was made in a little over a week as my first RPG Maker game.

It has two towns and three dungeons, several cutscenes, and epilogue. No plugins or assets were used besides the default RPG Maker MV.

I learned a lot while making this game, and I'm excited to make more. If you have any critique about what I did wrong or what you enjoyed,  please let me know!

Some tips to help you:

• Poison your foes at the beginning of combat will keep stacking damage as time goes on. This is specially useful on bosses.
• Kyria can use Provoke to attract enemy attacks, but keep an eye on her HP and make sure she's equipped with good armor.
• Use Fire against undead and plant enemies; Ice against flying enemies; and Lightning against enemies holding metal items.
• Heal when a character's HP falls below 50%.
• Use Silver Threads to teleport outside the dungeon in case your HP gets too low, then go rest at the Inn before going back to the dungeon.
