About
On Steam, 89% of 402 player reviews are positive (Very Positive). Valve rates it Unsupported on Steam Deck.
Mother is a first-person psychological horror game about protecting your children while descending deeper & deeper into madness. Defend them at all costs. Be careful, because their death is permanent!
Story
You take a form of a red-haired child who wants to seek the truth behind the disappearance of his siblings under Mother's care. The game takes the cake of defining what truly happened in today's society, in which the officials (playing the Mother's role) are given a choice whom to sacrifice.
What is happening now
Mother is an indie RPG adventure released in February 2020 for PC and Mac. The game appears to have minimal recent coverage activity - the available headlines and excerpts relate to unrelated entertainment news topics rather than updates about the game itself. There are no current development announcements, patches, community discussions, or other relevant coverage tied to Mother's gameplay or status. Without substantive recent news coverage specific to the title, there's little to report on its current state or player engagement.
