I'm not familiar with this so this is a stab in the dark, but these are two indie RPGs that are old enough to have existed "a few years back", and also appear to have female protagonists, Earthbound-like elements, and horror elements:

I recall playing an Indie game a few years back, I don't recall from where. It was an RPG where in the first half you play as a woman who appears to be under the influence of an evil presence. In the second half you play as a group attempting to find and stop the prior protagonist. Some details I recall was there was a villain who helps the protagonists as their method of transport by being inflated by a balloon and I recall there were some horror elements though with comedic moments in the second half.
