Honestly the name sounds like a undertale fan game. But when i played the game i was so amazed by classic characters

I cannot believe i just found this game now! I wish i had found it sooner!
But anyways, I thought this demo was absolutely amazing. In just the short amount of time we got to play I could already tell the full game will be great! I also like the combat mechanics and that it being a series of mini games (even though I kind of sucked at them XD). Either way keep up the fantastic work! Ill be sure to purchase and play the full game when it it out next year!
