PROJECT INTRODUCTION + PROGRESS


Hi everyone! I’m excited to finally share a project that I’ve wanted to do for quite a while now.

First of all, thanks to everyone who followed the page. I honestly didn't expect to see people interested so soon, and it's a huge motivation.

Let's start!


INSPIRATION

While the AU is inspired by Storyshift and uses many of its roles, my goal is to create a completely new narrative. I’m aiming to do something different with these characters, and I'm also introducing many others that are entirely original.

I think these roles offer a great opportunity to tell a fresh story. This isn't a take, it’s its own AU.


MAIN CONCEPT

The main concept is to give a purpose to the swaps, creating situations that make sense for the characters to be in the role they are.

The story will follow a similiar structure to Undertale, but I’m focused on introducing as many new elements as possible, making it interesting and not repetitive, with several plot twists that will make it different from the original game.


THE STORY

You fall into the Underground, but the world waiting for you isn't the one you've heard about.

You wake up in The Resort (Ruins replacement), a giant hotel managed by a skeleton who’s doing everything he can to keep the place together. It looks peaceful at first glance, but there’s this weird, heavy feeling in the air, like something is being hidden just out of your sight.

The real problem is that you’ve forgotten everything. The Barrier does that. It wipes the memory of anyone who crosses it, leaving you as a total stranger to yourself. But as you start to move, things get uncomfortable. Your soul feels unstable, and you start to wonder if these choices are actually yours.

Are you really living your own story, or are you just inhabiting a body that doesn't belong to you?

Even without your memories, there’s a spark of Determination burning inside you. It’s a power that feels like it was borrowed, something that was never intended for you. It’s the only thing keeping you moving, but it’s also making you a target.

As you wander through the corridors of the Resort, you'll meet others who are just as lost or confused as you are. But somewhere in the silence, someone is watching. They aren't looking for a fight, they are waiting for you to let your guard down so they can finally take what you're carrying. To them, you’re just an obstacle standing in the way of a power that belongs to someone else.

Find out who you are before someone else decides it for you.


CONCEPTS AND SPRITES

There are already many ideas and the main plot written out, but there are a few things that I don't wanna already spoil.

These are some sprites of the main cast!


RYUK (MAIN CHARACTER):

CHARA:

Chara is in the Second Area, so they have to stay hidden. Back in the First Area, Papyrus was the one keeping humans safe, but Chara chose to leave that protection behind. Now, wearing a hood and passing as a demon is their only way to move around without getting caught, especially since humans aren't supposed to be there at all.


PAPYRUS:

NAPSTABLOOK/METTATON:

In this AU, Napstablook and Mettaton are both trapped into a flower.


ASRIEL:

SANS:

OTHER CONCEPTS:

These are the concepts for Frisk, an NPC from the first area and a major antagonist

(All three characters take new roles)

All the sprites, even the previous ones, can be subject to change.


HELP WANTED

At the moment, I do not have a team for working on the project. I am currently writing the story and doing sprites and concepts, but unfortunately I am not a coder or a musician, so I am searching for help. The project needs:

-Coders

-Musicians

-Room spriters

If you are any of this and you would like to apply, you can send me a request on Gamejolt!


CONCLUSION

I would really like to bring this project to life, but at the moment I do not have a team, so any help would be appreciated!

I hope that you liked what you have seen so far, and that the idea is interesting for you.

Sorry if the post was a bit rushed, but it will be different from the next time.

I’ll be pretty busy for the next few weeks, so I'm taking a small break. Once I'm back, I'll keep you updated about the progress. See you later and thanks for reading!

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖
