Undertale: Rebirth

*When will this end...

Rebirth is a fan-made horror prequel to Undertale focusing on our interpretation of the orange soul, commonly referred to as bravery. This game is being developed by Starbrew Studios. The human of this tale is an adult(?) with a complex history with this world. Their goal: Escape the underground alive by any means necessary no matter who gets hurt.

It is not intended to be fully canon. We want to make the story and overall game our way therefore we will not stick to certain canon aspects if we don’t want to and will easily disregard certain things, however you are free to believe these events took place as your own head canon/interpretation or it can be seen as a separate story if you'd like.

This game is rated 16+ for violence, gore, & horror. This is will be updated as development continues and will be put into any/all demos and final versions of the game

15 years ago, a human child, no older than 3 years old, was found in the cold by a boss monster named Silver. He took them to Old Home, a place it hoped no danger would come to them. And he was right for the most part, not all were very welcoming of a human living amongst them while others were.

What was supposed to be a home turned out to be a lie, at least that's how Valor saw it. There's nothing for them here, even if they were welcomed, one by one, monsters are slowly leaving Old Home. Eventually no one will remain here, there'd be nothing. What would happen to them then? Just die and rot in an crumbling old city? Or, leave, and gain something more.

However, they underestimated the dangers of this world. 7 souls are needed to pay the toll for monster kinds freedom, only one has been claimed so far. Monsters of this era weren't known for their kindness, especially their king, ASGORE. Valor has died thousands of times, and they'd reset time, again and again. Always searching for something, anything that can change their fate. No matter what they did, no matter who they killed, who they spared, their fate always remained the same. His heart grew bitter and fearful with each new timeline.

And yet, they refused to give up. She continues to steel her resolve the best she can, to brave through this world to a brighter future. But will this world break them? Will they succumb to trawls of insanity? Will they make it out alive? Normally this would say "The choice is up to you!" but we all know how this tale will end, the human will not make it out of the underground alive. Their fate was sealed the moment they were cast down.

Cast SPELLS and BRAWL at enemies or take PITY on them, will it even matter in the end?

• FIGHT has changed to SPELL! They learned magic from sparing with their dad and even Toriel, they've decided to use it more in battle to gain the advantage.

• ACT & MERCY has changed to DEED & PITY! If violence isn't for you try to resolve things peacefully some other way, just remember that no strength will be gained by taking pity on your foes.

Use powerful spells! Even if Valor runs out of SP there are always other options…

• Everyone’s included! Magic is something all party members use. However each one of them has their own types. Valor; Human Magic, Silver; Frost Magic, Harisei; Curse. 

• Everything has a cost, gather Soul Points (SP) to cast spells! To gain SP graze bullets, defend, or…. Sleep??? Who sleeps in the middle of a battle?!?!?

• Start a collection! Spells are collected through quest, character interactions, and progressing the story. Collect as many as you can, they may hold the key to defeating a challenging boss.

• Other options…. If Valor runs out of SP then he’ll have to resort to using their fist. Not the preferred method but what choice does he have?

Weapons? Armors? BORING!!!! Let's try something new instead...!

• Weapons are no more! Weapons have been replaced with Handwear, collect gloves, mittens, cuffs, wait who gave Valor a gauntlet?

• Armors begone! Armors have been changed to Talismans, these magical objects were built for defense against all types of magic especially in the war...

• A new power...! Introducing sigils! These symbols can be dawned on any piece of handwear to increase your MAGIC stat and might even unlock new spells.

The random encounters… are no longer random!

• All enemies will appear in overworld just like they do in Deltarune! They no longer just pop out of nowhere.

• Flight or Fight! You don’t have to fight, if you’re fast enough you may be able to avoid a battle all together.

• If you decide to go down the path of overkill… you’ll have to hunt your prey first before you can slaughter it.

• Power never comes without a payment. If you kill enough, then RETRIBUTION will flow through your soul. Use it to evolve your spells into even greater ones!

They all talk?!?!?!

• That’s right! All party members talk including the human protagonist! You’ll even be able to banter with them- 

• Huh, the wolf doesn’t talk…? Damn. I wonder why?

• Use team interactions to win battles! One of the party members may not talk much but he can still understand your orders… I think.

An entirely new cast of characters! With two additional party members joining you.

• Two party members, Silver & Harisei. Meet them both early on in the game and from that point on their fates will be intertwined with our protagonist. For better or for worse, that’s for you to decide.

• Silver Morselli, the silver moon. A mysterious wolf(?) who found Valor in the depths of the underground, where it comes from is unknown but he's been a good father to Valor for all these years.

• Harisei, the cursed comet. A strange fox-dragon, Her origins are unknown and she seems to know more about this world then she lets on. Can you trust her?

• Battle strong foes! Face off against challenging bosses in each section, from a dark priest in an obsidian prison, to woodland spirit in a twilight forest, to a powerful zodiac in a barbaric coliseum. So much more awaits….

• Each boss, both big and mini will have a unique way of sparing or killing them depending on the route. You might even need a special spell to do any damage.

New locations! Looks like the underground has a lot to offer.

• Explore ancient depths and its crossroads…

• Get lost in a scarlet forest

• To taking part in a coliseums games!

All of this and more will be waiting!

Sometimes we all need a break! Even in a horror game.

• Want to take a break from traveling? Why not relax with your party in a nice area while listening to calming lo-fi music.

• There are secrets to discover! Rather it’d be a hidden room or a creepy study. Not everything is as it seems. 

Let the stars guide you!

• RESET as many times as it takes. You can’t break what’s already broken. 

• Valor is self-aware, they know about the RESET power, it’s what got them stuck in this time loop in the first place. Use this power to explore other possibilities, maybe you’ll get something useful out of it. Oh yeah they talk to.

• Listen to the voice inside your head. It’s still yours, correct? Of course it is! It’s perfectly normal to have a disembodied voice narrate your every move. Nothing going on here, don't look too deep into it, just do as you're told and nothing bad will happen!

Enjoy a brand new soundtrack made by the studio's talented musicians!

[ QnA ]

Q. When will the game come out? When it's ready.

Q. When will the next dev log/newsletter be out? When it's ready.

Q. Any plans to release the game for Mac/Linux, & for mobile devices? No, sorry. But we're perfectly fine with any fan made ports to those platforms!

Q. Will you account other fanmade UTDR project stories? We wish to do our own thing with the world and cast. Their will be (Unofficial) easter eggs and references to many projects however at the end of the day, Undertale Rebirth is meant to be a (fan-made) prequel to Undertale, not any other fangame out there.

Q. Is Undertale Rebirth a duo take? Or will it have a major cyan soul sub plot? No & Kind of. We will be handling in our cyan soul sub plot in a way that will allow any cyan soul to be interpreted into soul while still making use of it in our story. There will be no "Snowdin incident" events or "First Hero" characters in UTR.

Q. Can I use Undertale Rebirth characters in my own Fangame, Mod, AU, etc.? Sure, go ahead! Just make sure to give proper credit to the team when doing so! And please tag us in whatever you make, we'd love to see it!

Q. Will there be any translations? Maybe. No promises though. We are fine with fan translations!

Q. Can I use assets from UTR for my own project? Absolutely not. Please never do this.

Q. May I upload fan content of UTR? Of course! We love and apricate any animations, dubs, remixes, Let's Plays, reviews and other content! Just make sure to credit us (Starbrew Studios) when doing so. We upload all our music on our own YouTube/SoundCloud accounts, so no need to re-upload. Extensions of music tracks or unreleased tracks are okay to upload as long as the videos are not monetized.

Q. Why is the game taking so long? Why are there so many different designs of Valor? UTR as been around as a concept for a while, it started in 2023 a few months before UTY released. We were inspired by both it and two other projects known as Kindred Spirits and Grimmstale/Blind Determination and ever since then the story and characters have gone through numerous reboots and redesigns. We want to make UTR the best it can be and if we need more time then we will give ourselves more time.

Q. Why does the studio have such a large team? UTR is an ambitious fangame aiming to bring a lot more content then Undertale did in terms of gameplay and story. Areas are more expansive, the combat is more complex, and the battles will be challenging.

Q. Woah woah woah why is this a horror game?! That doesn't suit Undertale! One of the main things about bravery is that it needs fear to go alongside it. What’s bravery but the ability to go forward despite fear? Having strong themes of horror would absolutely enhance this theme. We fail to see how we can tell a story about bravery without it.
