Saving the Cousins
SECTION A: SYNOPSIS
Susan and Michael were playing in the forest with their six cousins. Those six cousins are now lost and Susan and Michael must find them. This is an early educational game designed for grade 1 math. Susan must solve math problems in these 3 areas:
- Telling Time (full, half and quarter hours)
- Counting Coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters)
- Early fractions (halves, thirds, quarters)
IMAGES/SCREENSHOTS
SECTION B: CHARACTERS
Characters were all generated with RPG Maker MZ.
SECTION C: STORYLINE/PLOT
The 2 siblings enter the forest where they first encounter 3 fairies. These fairies are more informational as to the plot development than anything else. After the fairy encounters, the siblings meet up with the 3 monsters who act as blockers. Susan and her brother can only find their way through the forest by correctly answering math questions. Once a correct answer is given for each of the 3 math monsters, the siblings make their way to the Hawthorne Mansion.
Inside the Hawthorne Mansion, the siblings must find all 6 missing cousins. The cousins are each in need of a specific fruit and vegetable in order to be saved. These fruits and vegetables can be purchased from Wendy in the garden outside the mansion. Coins for purchasing are won with correct answers to the math monsters' queries.
The math monsters appear with each transfer into a room (but not out of), up the stairs, or out to Wendy's garden.
