10 - Dust6Tale by @scratchly
https://gamejolt.com/games/DUST6TALE/804267

Dust6Tale had only recently entered my list of games that I liked, and here's why:

Dust6Tale is a new and rather unheard AU, created in a mysterious way that leaves me excited to see what happens next.

It currently has the Ruins - Snowdin Areas completed.

The Ruins had sans try to convince you to spare people right from the start. When you tested his patience and continued to attack him, he fought you back. But only for a little bit. He treated the Ruins Encounter more as a warning of what's to come if the human continues down a path of violence.

Snowdin you fought Sans inside Grillby's. Flowey is now around his neck, and now Sans has... a Bat I believe? He does blunt blows but the bat can instakill you which is terrifying. It seems like Flowey is the one forcing sans to do his bidding based on the final attack.

But it leaves me interested on what Waterfall has to offer.

9 - Dusttale Dusk by @Darry_YTB
https://gamejolt.com/games/Dusttale_Dusk/843574

Dusttale Dusk aims to be a faithful recreation of the original Dusttale fangame by Evan Streblow, and being a part of the team has been great. I still am to this day, and I'm very excited to see what they have to reveal to the public sometime in the future!

Currently the game has no public demo yet.

8 - Team Delusional's Dusttale by @ell3n
https://gamejolt.com/games/Team_delusional_dusttale/797156

If I were to imagine a Dusttale that has surprising twists and turns, I would look here.

With a massive following of artists, the game appearing in Underevent, and an encounter that i've been really excited to play aka the Sans & Papyrus battle in Snowdin, this has the potential to be something really good!

Currently the game has no public demo yet.

7 - Dusttale Reimagined by @elmastertrolaster
https://gamejolt.com/games/dusttale_reimagined/519772

Dusttale Reimagined is a big bias from me, considering i've worked on it for several years now at this point. Hurray!

It's gotten re-done since I've originally started, and honestly, it was a good thing.

It was the first project where I had my name appear on Underevent, and it was by far an amazing thing to be able to see!

Now it is an unfinished story, but the ideas I have in mind setup for it for them to see when I finish writing the newest draft is going to be amazing. I can't wait for them to see what I had come up with!

This is a reimagining of the famous Dusttale take... with Flowey taking the star role of the show instead!

6 - Dusttale I Miss You by @stretchgaminginc
https://gamejolt.com/games/IMISSYOU/747814

Now this one... this one has some gigantic potential to be amazing!

This one currently has a public demo for Snowdin aka ACT 1.

Stretch has been working on this for a while, and it has also been a while since we have also seen a devlog seeing where their progress is at, but I can tell it's definitely more than halfway if i were to guess.

But I was in LOVE with their original old version at the time.
So much so that I ended up no-hitting their full game, being the ONLY one to do so.

ACT 1 Several People No-Hitted
ACT 2 I was the only one to NO-HIT
ACT 3 I was the only one to NO-HIT

Overall I loved it.

And when their full game comes out, I am definitely promoting it and making sure people know to play it!

Currently, and I may be wrong about this, but I believe the new version is kind of based off of the 5 stages of grief based off of the acts and public information.

That's my theory, and I can't wait to see it.

5 - Dusttale Obitus by @angelo18105
https://gamejolt.com/games/DUSTTALEOBITUS/941538

Another Biased AU because I currently write the story for this AU.
As of right now, the story is in fact completed.

Dusttale Obitus is the idea of a Dusttale take, but Sans didn't willingly start this. He, along with the rest of the underground, has undergone a change, fueling their desires and strengths while pushing away their weaknesses and doubts.

But Gaster has altered Sans the most out of everyone.
His goal? To become whole again and to use sans as an experiment to do so.
Your goal? To survive and show the underground who the real villian of the story is: You.

Currently the game has no public demo.

4 - Dusttale Murderous Comedy by @ars_
https://gamejolt.com/games/Dusttale_the_murderous_comedy/702633

This one. WHEW. This is an amazing game thats pretty much from what I believe is... halfway done?

They have Snowdin and Waterfall both done, and they have a lot of progress on ACT 0, it's prologue, as well as ACT 2, with both Snowdin, Waterfall, and Hotland getting new things.

Snowdin shows the story of Sans being forced to do this. Fighting sans brings nothing, as Papyrus hesitates every time and eventually gets killed by Sans, beginning the Dusttale Route.

However, by talking to him, you could give Papyrus the confidence to actually fight back, and kill him as well.

If you do that, it will begin the Dustbelief Route, a Route that I got to work on via Writing!

I am no longer on the team but hope to count as a previous contributor to the au!

Waterfall is very interesting. With two main battles:
Sans vs Undyne
Human vs Riverperson

You play as Undyne fighting Sans, in which it is a survival fight. That survival fight is fun and difficult, and on top of it all very rewarding to beat. There are two endings, one where Undyne kills sans, and one where sans kills Undyne.

Meanwhile, as the human, you fight Riverperson on genocide, and he is a monster of a battle. On Pacifist, you don't fight him.

But what really interests me...
is the live timer killing of sans.

He actually kills monsters, and you have to race him against the kill counter. Greatest thing ever.

The translation from Russian to English is rough sometimes, and I know there are definitely some grammar errors sometimes there, but its a solid take with a solid storyline.

3 - Lovegeezer's Undertale: The Final Run by @lovegeezer
https://gamejolt.com/games/undertale/936168

This AU was pain when i first discovered it.
When I first played it, it was so hard.
I tried over, and over, and over, just to beat the fangame and suffer so much on it.

I eventually did end up beating it, and discovered it was not an Undertale AU, but a Dusttale take that they eventually kind of revealed themselves on Gamejolt.

I am very excited for their new demo when they release it, as now we work together on this!

(Well, Lovegeezer does the work and I sit there with a sign saying I help)

I do help very little, but I want to help more where I can.

If you play it - I warn you:
You Will Rage.
You Will get killed. A Lot.
Trust me, it's final attack... It's harder than IDutshane...

2 - Dusttale Last Genocide & The Genocide's End by @experiment121
https://gamejolt.com/games/dusttale-last-genocide/513360

THIS AU Is something I think is practically absolute perfection.
This AU brings ULB and Dusttale and combines it rather well, making it an absolute amazing take.

It's been out for a few years and is getting Chapter 2 worked on as we speak, and the Sans vs Undyne battle is INSANE.

1 - Dusttale: Non Est Deus by @Me_is_Geno
https://gamejolt.com/games/EmptyUnderground/961668

This is a Playable version of Haloboi's Dusttale.
Now, Haloboi has made several dark and interesting aus.

Dustbelief, Pickle Jar, Dusttale, Dreamtale i believe?

But his dusttale take has a great story, a completed au ost, and now we have a fangame being made by Geno.

With Ruins + Snowdin already done, and the Snowdin Geno Route actually made me feel awful.

But I look forward to Waterfall and Beyond.

Good luck, Geno, as I would love to see this game become a reality.
