I can't get the gate open in the first cave.. Where do I hind the key??

Sorry for the late reply.

Minor Spoiler: There's a box near the beginning of the cave with a shovel inside it. You need that shovel. There are some dirt piles and empty boxes scattered around the level and to get across the chasm you'll need a rope.

FYI: There's a great Let's Play series for Cliche Quest EP1 here: (more spoilers)

V1.02dRev3: Minor Bug Fix for SECRET EXTRAS and added visual save cues before mini-boss rooms in Crumbling Dungeon. A few balance passes on enemies and enemy encounters have been added in the past few days as well. If you redownload the latest version you should be able to copy your save from the old game folder to the new one and continue playing.

There are actually some card based battle systems mad for RPG Maker. If you want to straight up make your own trading card type game there are actually game engines for that purpose.

There are many for VX already, here is one for Ace.

I'm not telling you what to do but it sounds like you were looking for something like this.

I remember playing a joke game with the exact same name as this.

... Don't worry about it, though, I kind of like this one. :P

I noticed the week before I posted this there was another game on the Steam Workshop that was released called "Cliche Quest of Saving the Princess and other almost heroic deeds DEMO" which appears to be very much one of those "joke" type games. Is that the game you're referring to?

The original intro/trailer I made for Cliche Quest was posted in 2009.

After doing a little more digging I was able to find two games that released very partial demos, one from 2004 and one from 2010 with the same name that were both abandoned. The 2004 one predates mine which I guess just goes to show that a game about unoriginal games isn't very original. :P

I think I can safely say though this is the best and most complete game called Cliche Quest that you're likely to play.

Yep, it's good to go now. And the game will be released as 6 episodes. Each episode will expand the game world and include all previous content. Saves can be copied and continued from one episode to the next.
