I haven't seen this one myself, but apparently it goes blank at the end when Chara appears.

Was on my first run through and I was 3 or 4 hours in without killing anyone but my save file was lost when my ssd died a bit ago. Oh well, I'll get back to this eventually. Knowing the basics of the branching I feel like I have to do the same thing again which would be tedious at the moment.
Not sure why my save file wasn't stored in the cloud, it seems like the game supports it :/

Dude, that sucks about the SSD.
Honestly, it's probably best to wait on the run til you feel it won't be tedious. Just make sure you stay away from spoilers

About how long would you guys say is a standard 1st playthrough of this? I will have some available time soon.
First playthrough for me was longer than I expected, maybe 15 hours.

Earthbound is my favorite game of all time, Undertale looks like it's taking a lot of inspiration from it, I plan on getting it soon if it can live up to half of what Earthbound did I'll love this game forever.
Does anyone have a favorite playthrough of Undertale?
While I was going through Undertale for the first time, I saw that a person I was subbed to on Youtube was going through it was well, and that was Cryaotic.
After finishing I watched his playthrough and was thoroughly charmed.

Especially at some of the way he pronounced names :3
I hit two endings with a total of 7 and a half hours. It's not a long game.
Genocide run:
Undyne the Undying. I should also note that i'm bad enough to have died three times at Toriel, and in the double digits for pacifist Undyne, Muffet and Asgore.

You died to Toriel three times?
Most normal people had to actively try to die to that boss.
I'm not normal people : (
My reflexes are shit. Like, 300ms shit. I react to stuff in slow-time.
I get through stuff with a combination of crazy prepared and determination.
And attack-order charts.

Guess so. I am bad at bullet hells and I still beat the game twice.
The game is a good YouTube watch though...
Not to be mean, but...
Toriel stop trying to hit you when you're down to like 4 health, and actively tries to avoid hitting you from that point.
It's very hard to get killed by Toriel, because if you are low on health, she will only use attacks that will never hit you.
That's a lot of movement in a freak out.

I'm partial to VoidBurger's playthrough.

She really seems to have a great time playing it and really appreciates the humour more than any other LPer I've seen.

I've seen that one, I love her occational "I'm a good boy!" statements.
I also saw her awesome review on Steam, it's one of the highest rated ones!
Yup, but if you get killed 6->0 in a turn, she doesn't do that. Also if you move around too much the avoidance will fail.

I can't imagine how fucking cool it must be to write that goddamn music, while simultaneously doing 10/10 storytelling and gameplay design (For some bosses, at least).

Was everything done by only one person? Holy shit if that is the case. Pretty much everything in this game reeks awesomeness (so far).
By the way, I need tips for the

What exactly are you having trouble with?
the rest of that is implied, but i find music covers fascinating
a lot of the art was done by others but yeah it was mostly Toby. It's insane to think that one person is that multi-talented. I'm working on some game projects atm and I know I won't be able to make something that sounds as good as Undertale no matter what I do.
Stone Ocean
Member
The most surprising part is he didn't even take that long, less than 3 years wasn't it? Toby is ultra efficient compared to other solo devs out there.

With beating him.
I run out of health supplies quick because his attacks are hard to dodge... To be fair, I am really short on health supplies, so here is a more objective question: Where can I find more close to where you fight said boss?Yup. This is the second time I am impressed by one person developing almost everything in a game by themself. First time was with Cave Story.
Also, good luck with your project(s).

The closest place for healing items is still MTT Resort, if you've got the cash for it. If you need cash, I think encounters still spawn in the Core which give about 100G each for sparing them. That'll at least let you fill up with junk food.
Still not sure how I feel about the game, but some of the tracks are amazing. Got really impressed by the covers from this guy:
Bonetrousle - Papyrus battle theme
Death By Glamour - Mettaton battle theme

Yeah, just stock up on Starfaits with Burgerpants. There's no secret to that fight, just gotta make sure to talk to him a few times to lower his stats.
A good chunk of the art isn't his, but i think the fundamental designs are.
Also he had someone else write the dialogue for Waterfall and Hotlands, IIRC.

Still really impressive, I would say.
Thanks! I just managed to beat him, after buying a few nice creams
Edit: Okay, so I beat
Flowey
killed them and the game ended after Sans said a couple things.
Stone Ocean

You got the neutral ending. There's
3 main endings, one of them having several variations.
My first run was 3.5 hours.
Oh, I was wondering if he was going to do any covers for this lol. I've followed him forever since I found some arrangements he did of the bard songs in Ragnarok Online years and years ago. Really great guy with tons of great covers and original stuff.

I see.
I was actively trying to get the genocide ending, but seems like I must have left someone alive. Maybe I had to kill the Undyne fanboy kid?
You have to kill all the random encounters in every zone until it says "but nobody came" when an enemy tries to show up
You have to kill all the random encounters, not just named npcs, the music changes to be much creepier, and empty random encounters start triggering. You have to start a genocide run by destroying all the random encounters in the ruins, and then keep that up throughout the entire game.
Dr. Buni

I see. Thanks! I will have to try that after my pacifist run.

I beat
just now and I must say, this has to be the hardest gaming related challenge I have overcome in a long time.
I had a blast with it though and I really hope that a full hard mode of the game does get released.
I recommend anyone who likes a challenge
to give it a shot.
You can use a save manager + Flowey's time machine to get to him if you don't feel up to actually doing a genocide run(I did the same).

Well, finally sat down and played the whole game (in one day). Did a pacifist run. Took about eight hours.
I really enjoyed it, and feel heavily disturbed that I'm aching to play it again just so
You wanna say no but that
just keeps lingering. Ah well...

I CAN MURDER EVERYONE. Ah, but what about the happy ending we worked so hard for? Could I really bring myself to kill Papyrus?
BLOODLUST (...er, dustlust?)
lol thats my problem. I know how
doofy everyone is
Yeah, the combo of Ruins and Snowdin is a little too heavy on scripted events but it loosens up.

Linearity isn't a bad thing (to me), since I hate having to find where to go in games, but I can get behind the "game being overscripted" complain. Still a fantastic game, though.
