Announced in 2020, Mother 4 is a fan game meant to be an unofficial sequel to Mother 3, from the EarthBound (Mother, in Japan) series. In the game, the player controls an American teenager boy named Aaron and his friends in a tour in the United States to unveil the mysteries of the Rift Shells, artifacts that grant a great PSI power, and fight their way to find an obscure enemy pulling the strings in a plan with unknown purposes.
Mother 4 is the second widely known fan project to be released as a sequel for Mother 3, after the former project, which was also announced as Mother 4, was rebranded and became the indie game Oddity.
