Not too long ago, we participated in a Game Jam hosted by Underparty (event for Undertale fans in Russia) and Underevent. We were invited to this party, but I will tell about it in different post.
We needed to make Undertale fan-battle in 3 weeks period. We decided to make something original and unique, some kind of art, if you don't mind so narcissistic description. And that's how "Undertale: Flowey's Inside Out" was created!
What is this?
Flowey's plan has finally come to fruition, and Human Souls of the fallen children are in his grasp. But the ghosts of the past would not let go of his own Soul, which he had not had for a long time. And when Souls with very bright qualities appear in your body, no soulless being can suppress their feelings.
For short, it's Omega Flowey Battle from Flowey's perspective inside his own mind where Human Souls attempted to break free from his control after awakening.
All your favourite creators from IGB united to work on this game. Your beloved vIgnitio wrote the script and main plot. Drendy and Ars were in charge of coding. Lioffline and our newcomer Fabled created all the visuals in this project. And our newcomer Charty impressed everyone with his amazing soundtrack!
The theme of the Jam is "Other Souls". We had a freedom to interpitate this theme however we wanted. In this game you play as Flowey during neutral ending boss battle. Souls inside your mind are trying to overthrow your control and break free. They use their Soul modes on you to defeat you, but you can't give up just yet.
Game has FULL VOICE OVER! Our partner, AltRA and his team "Alt's Place" provided us with voice actors cast that voices all Human Souls in our game.
Cyan Soul — AnastIceSea
Yellow Soul — Anfenix14
Orange Soul — ReptiloidHedoD
Blue Coul — K1RMAN
Purple Soul — AltRA
Red Soul (Chara) — AltRA & heart_nonsence
Green Soul — vIgnitio
Currently this game only available in Russian, because we didn't have time to make different option. But we will try to make new international language version as soon as possible. So stay tuned for new updates! Or play in this 1.1 version without translation and unreleased content.

So, what about results of this GameJam? We visited Underparty in Moscow and there we were waiting for announcement. There was gamezone where everyone could play in our and different fan-games. We must notice, that everyone there, even if they didn't hear voice over because of surrounding's noise, were very fond of our project and wanted to learn more about us after playing. There were almost everytime someone playing in our project!
"Flowey's Inside Out" took 3rd place! And that, I think, is a big step for us. As you may know, our last project for Game Jam - "The Imprint on the Pages" - took 22nd place, although it was warmly welcomed by players with a final rating of 3.9/5 points. Let's see how jury voted for our new game!
Sound Design: 4.8
Graphics: 5
Overall Score: 4
Difficulty Balance: 3.5
Gameplay: 3.7
Character (design, charisma, originality): 3.7
Sadly, we couldn't fully claim our prize. One of the rewards were cameo in incoming Underevent 2024. But after discussion with Octo, we came to an agreement that our project isn't as original as they needed for cameo, because we used classic Undertale plot and just showed it differently. But I still hope that one day people will see us in Underevent, one way or another.
What do you think? Which place did UT: FIO deserve? Write your opinion in the comments, we would gladly read them. Soon we will tell more about Underparty and our role in it. But for now, that's all.
PEACE OUT!
