Saveseeker is an upcoming time-travelling RPG with a twist

In Saveseeker you're an eight year old time-travelling girl on a quest to stop her former Hero father from using his powers to destroy the world. Quite a fun sounding premise with this, and there's a demo available right now. It doesn't support controller yet, but the developer has confirmed they plan to add support later.

Playing as the young Emmer Edette, you have inherited your father's unique ability to save moments in time. But this once-heroic gift has been corrupted — Emmer's father, a legendary Hero, now uses his powers for destructive ends. With her grumpy toy dragon companion, Tippleton, Emmer must journey across six distinct lands, overwrite every "Save Stop" her father left behind, and face him in a final showdown.

Game Highlights:

• A quest that begins at the end – Step into a world forever changed by a legendary Hero. Travel across six distinct lands, reclaim corrupted “Save Stops,” and uncover the truth behind your father’s downfall before his misuse of power brings everything to ruin.
• Unlikely allies with their own agendas – Recruit five of the Hero’s defeated foes, brought to life with beautiful Ghibli-esque character design. Each ex-boss brings unique abilities and personalities to your party. Discover their motivations, combine their skills in battle, and see how old enemies can become indispensable friends.
• Time-bending turn-based combat – Emmer’s inherited power to “save” time adds a fresh twist to classic RPG combat. Rewind to rethink your strategy, set up powerful combos, and turn the tide against enemies that demand more than brute strength.
• Worlds full of character and challenge – Explore beautifully animated pixel-art worlds, from the shadowy Badwoods to the mechanical marvel of the airship Aertemis. Each setting is packed with puzzles, enemies, and secrets tailored to its unique atmosphere.
• Secrets and surprises around every corner – Venture off the main path to play minigames, uncover hidden lore, and earn powerful equipment. Every discovery adds more depth to Emmer’s journey and rewards those who take time to explore.

Really do love the setting and style in this one. Playable on Linux with Proton. The full game launches sometime in 2026 with no set date announced yet.
