Hello! I know that since Undertale Yellow was released, countless fangames have sprouted up, piling up on the idea. The main point of this devlog is to explain why this Undertale fangame is NOT like Undertale Yellow. Although it may be a prequel, its sole purpose is not to chip into the fanon storyline of Undertale, but rather to emphasize just how much this game has spoken to my heart personally, and furthermore, why.

The Concept:

In Undertale: Heartbroken, you travel through the underground twice, once as Chara, the original fallen human, and once as [second human's name]. In your first run through the Underground, it plays out how you might expect it too. Once you finish your route as Chara however, you will play through again as [shn]. No matter what route you took as Chara, their actions will heavily influence how the monster kingdom reacts to the second fallen human, creating a lot of variation (nine endings!!!).

Game Progress:

Progress on actual gameplay is minimal so far, as our team's lead coder (me lol) is still wrapping up our UT engine that was entirely made from scratch (get it?). However, story, map, characters, and general game design have all already begun to be planned out.

A Brief Look at the Story:

Let's talk real quick about the neutral route while playing as Chara. For the majority of the game, Asriel follows you around and together you explore the Underground. It is important to remember that no monster has set foot outside the ruins up to this point (unless they already lived down there ig, not like the bunnies in Snowdin, but like a lava monster or smth that is hostile even towards the other monsters), so there is really no definite answer as to what might be waiting for you in the Underground. As you travel with Asriel, Asgore, Toriel, and the rest of the monsters to New Home, you and Asriel decide to plot and execute a plan (if you know, you know).

For Chara's no-mercy route, commonly referred to as the genocide route, Asriel, who's presence would previously prevent you from actually killing anybody, will become frightened, and desert you, leaving you to travel a different path from the rest of the monster civilization, away from all known life.

These are a mere couple of snippets from the 9 main route of Undertale: Heartbroken.
