Frequently Asked Questions
When is Otosan coming out?
TBA
Is this Mother 4?
No.
Is there a demo?Any plans for console release?
Yes. After the initial release for Windows, Mac, and Android, I will target consoles such as Nintendo Switch.
What language is Otosan written in?
It is built in SixEngine, which is a game engine that I also created. The engine is written in JavaScript, and it runs directly in a web browser.

No. Although it feels a lot like a classic SNES game, it is an all-new game built from scratch.

Note from the Creator
I was lucky enough to be a kid back when EarthBound and Final Fantasy 6 were new. Those stories changed my life. I played them at precisely the right age, when I was a naive little sponge. They ingrained in me a deep love of helping other people.
I might not know you, but I suspect that you could use a little bit of kindness, compassion, and love. I hope that this story can deliver those things to you. And so, this game is my gift to you, whoever you may be.
Otosan is a non-profit endeavor, funded by contributions from gamers like you. The more pledges this Patreon project receives, the sooner Otosan can be completed. If enough folks chip in, I can shed my mercenary work, and develop this full-time.
No matter what happens, I will continue to create as much content as I can, as fast as I can. It is truly a labor of love.
