Our take on Edelweiss
Edelweiss departs from the usual RPG emphasis on combat and collecting. Its structure instead centers on exploring, solving puzzles, avoiding danger, and reloading a save after death.
What is Edelweiss?
Edelweiss is a Japanese-inspired horror RPG about Ayla and her friends, who become stranded in a dense forest after a car accident.
With no cellphone signal, they search for assistance and reach an abandoned orphanage, where the horror story begins. Instead of using a common RPG combat and collection system, the game focuses on exploration, puzzle solving, dodging danger, and loading a save after death. Built with RPG Maker MV, it follows Ayla and her companions as they try to move forward after losing their route to a resort.
