Playthrough notes of TC!Underfell, a reimagining of the popular Undertale AU Underfell. First started on 31st July 2023. Aside from making line breaks more screen reader-friendly, commentary is kept as is for posterity reasons (regardless of typos). Spoilers, of course, for the game itself. TC!Underfell: https://gamejolt.com/games/teamcolossusunderfellofficial/265011 Please refrain from reposting ever. ---Commentary below--- --- Intro --- Oh god-- I don't know why that scared me. Interesting music... Since it scrolls automatically, I could write this without having to pause for every two seconds. ~~ When I downloaded this off of GameJolt, it just came with the game. So I had to make a file for it. (mostly to keep my playthrough notes) ~~ Anyways I've been on the title screen for a while now, I should probably start... But first: the settings! Only three options: 'Start', 'Settings' and 'Exit'. There's also no title music. --- Settings --- Oh the settings has music but not the title. ~~ I was kinda worried that I wouldn't get to play if they didn't update it... Thankfully they did. I'm not sure why they kept the info in the FAQ though (prob cuz they didn't have time to update it). ~~ (in response to borders text) Of course I would want beautiful art! (in response to fullscreen text) No fullscreen since I have to write this. (in response to borders type text) Dynamic? Yes. Let's see the other options. 'Static'... so it would be the same border throughout? Only dynamic and static. Also no unique text for each. Not sure what VSync does. (in response to frame skip text) 'low-end devices'... my computer prob doesn't count. So no frame skip! The sfx that triggers when you exit out is kinda disorienting(?). I keep thinking of saves. Oh wait, it only plays when you made a change in the settings. OK. 'Discord Rich'. Lol I don't have Discord. Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't want ppl seeing my progress. (in response to auto-run text) I actually manually pressing buttons to run, even if there's no need for me to walk slowly! Just english... I mean... I didn't have any data in the first place. The game also kicked me out. Rude. Let's open it again. --- opening again --- Okay the thing with the opening is that the game doesn't open after a while, so it kinda jumpscares you(?) Anyway skip intro. Waiiit. the erasing data thing also appears when I press quit to menu??? Oh nevermind the text is different. It's talking about the settings stuff. Hm. It uses the Deltarune save files system. Alright let's begin YOU (sound familiar?) --- naming --- What if I accept with no name? It won't let me. Ok. Let's see if it has naming easter eggs. We'll start with Toriel first. I don't know if it's my fault or the game's cuz I sometimes have a hard time looking for the leters. Capitals are easier to see so we'll use those. Oh it makes a sparkly effect when I input the letters. *pressing the same letters and deleting them back and forth* This is fun. Aaaaanyways. I wonder what'll happen if I input a lowercase letter with the capital ones. Wait. I can accept it? Let's try all caps. Okay so inputting a lowercase letter with capital ones WILL affect it. noted. Toriel is silent... okay for a moment there I thought you could input more letters than the original UT... Wait it does! There're eight letters here now, which mean I can put in papyrus's full name! Ok so you have to be consistent with the capitalization. Got it. 'How about no?' Okay fine Asriel. What about... Frisk? Or Chara? Okay Frisk is fine. Hopefully it won't trigger hard mode. Chara is not okay with it. Okay so not ALL names have unique text. (Maybe Doggo doesn't mind?) Papyrus... DOES mind his name being taken. And judging from his text, it sounds like he's a pirate? What about Papyru? Will he accept that? He does! I take back what I said about the capital letters being easier to see, they're JUST AS HARD. Both Toriel and Alphys are silent. What abou Alph? Apparently yes. Asgore's part of the silent gang too. What about Toriel and Asgore's nicknames? Yes and yes. I get some of the characters being silent, but why is UNDYNE silent too?? Is it because you can't meet them yet? Do you get to meet the skelebros in the demo? Is it for some plot related reason Idk about yet?? Okay since Mettaton responds, it's prob for plot related reason. Aw I thought inputting Metta and Snas would let Mettaton and Sans respond. No Mad Dummy? No Mew Mew either???? What about 'mercy' and 'murder'? Yes and yes. You do get unique dialogue for them. I got another one: human and monster no and no. Kinda disappointing, but I get why. What does randomizing do? NESS. Are these... ALL EARTHBOUND NAMES?? (well I saw Everdred and Mario in there, but STILL!) I think that's everything. Wait. Will Mettaton accept Mettato? No unique text. Whelp. Let's name ourselves as Frisk and move on. Deltarune sfx??? --- game --- Frisk here reminds me of Kris. That lying on the ground sprite also looks like Kris's dark world sprite's pose when they first got into the dark world. We actully see them screaming for help! Wow! Oh i like how it zoomed out like them. Frisk doesn't look like Kris after getting up. Also why do they have a single striped shirt? Isn't that... Chara's thing? Slight jumpscare for the cell button. Press this if you want to annoy your neighbours. I might have to turn down the sfx a bit. Holy cow why is BGM 68% and SFX 100%? Shouldn't it be the other way around? You can't lower or turn up the music... Guess I'll just turn down the SFX. Oh wow walking particles. Wait, what is that note thingy? (after reading note text)Well that's not ominous at allllll... No repeat dialogue for the note. Flowey looks like a Pirahna plant from behind. Nice turning animation. Now he looks like a Jack-o-lantern. Why does Flowey look so beaten up? I don't trust those 'friendliness pellets' of yours. Nope. *avoids pellets* I like how the music gets a bit higher pitch to show Flowy's panic (or maybe desperation?). Flowey is more nervous here, as you can tell from the stuttters. Nawww *dodges more pellets* Oh damn he's crying. I would be an asshole if I fought then and there. I was thinking what would happen if I named my character Chara after I told him my name. Then I remembered Chara doesn't let you do that. It's called the Temples now huh. *Flowey pops up and tells me to get a move on* OK I'M SORRY JEEZ FLOWEY. IT's cool how the game has dialogue for that. ...As I was saying, I thought my soul was purple for a sec. Then I realised it was just greyed(?) out. What if I go back? Huh. The walking animation in the stats screen changes depending on where you're facing. Seems like you can gain speed? --- Temples --- Oh, no, it's still called the ruins. 'Meow'?? Why did a Froggit 'meow'? I solved it somehow. I like how Frisk approaches Flowey on their own. Who wrote the sign? I mean... I DID lower the ones before me, so... Pressing the switch doesn't make the spikes go back... Screw you sign. How am I supposed to trust you after that? Plot twist, Toriel wrote these signs. You're not taking the fifth piece, Frisk? Dummy! --- Dummy fight --- Epic rock music for dummy fight? Alright... The buttons have these bouncing animations when you hover over them. The dummy isn't doing anything. Imagine if I got hit by the dummy. 33%! It's prob the spare meter thing from Deltarune. I think that SFX from earlier was also from Deltarune. Oh wow that's a cool effect when you reach 100%. Arguing is one way to get out of the battle... --- NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM --- Don't think I didn't see you saying dafuq Flowey. Who's writing these notes? --- First random encounter! --- Migosp and Whimsun. (Migosp looks like a freakin jester---) OHHH NO HIT. *gets hit on the second attack* Oh nevermind. I know I should eat sth Flowey, but I'm in the middle of battle right now! Thanks for healing me Flowey. I KNOW I'M DYING FLOWEY Flowey still heals you when you're not dodging(?) good to know. WHOOPS did not mean to press the fight button. --- back to ruins --- You just don't want to get wet. SEE? The narrator(?) agrees with me. What is THAT? Oh it's just a whimsun. I didn't recognise it due to its blue hue. (after battle) Napstablook parallels? With the wanting to get brave and being in the human's way... --- Crystal Waterfalls --- Flowey's leitmotif. Can I move? No... This scene IS pretty tho. --- ruins again --- There the rock goes... What are these stool things? And why is there an open chest? Meta note. Back to the other room. I'm guessing you don't have to push the lower rock? --- moldsmal fight --- Oh my god the moldsmal jumping attack makes a rubber duck sound---- That's so CUTE----- Excuse me? What does 'cream' mean? Oh. it's whipped cream. CREAM IT AGAIN. Ah. I think I know why I accidentally pressed the fight button now. When the enemy reaches 100%, it doesn't attack, at all. No box or anything. Oh nevermind, it attacks you if you select the wrong command afterwards. Micrododging. (back to ruins)It doesn't open up after I pushed the first two rocks... Yep. The last rock talks. I wonder if you can solve this by just pushing the last rock? 'Rockhead' lool. Why does Froggit look more like a dragon than a frog? 'Doesn't seem interested' in me? Why did it increase the mercy gauge then? Wow 200%. I was hoping that the attacks would get more hyper like Flowey said but nope. The last rock is speechless. Hey isn't that the demon from Snowdin? Apparently not. 'Slow read' ahhh, I see what you did there. OH MY GOD IT'S A FAKE CHEST. Isn't this Mimicry Man from the hit game Mimicry Man? OH GOD IT'S LEMONBREAD'S ATTACKS Not as bull as Lemonbread though I hope I don't lose money by giving it a coin. Zelda reference. THAT'S A LOTTA SPIKES. Another piece of ripped clothing, huh? Stains? What kind of stains? (in response to Flowey's text) No. I didn't catch all that. (after reading sign text) Am I supposed to scramble this text? Just brute force my way through. Hey I want that wine bottle thing. 'Happy juice' Well I made it through. Maybe I should stop skipping text. Especially with Flowey. Otherwise I can't READ THEM. Robot sounds? METTATON?! Is- Is that a giant rock? 'High pitched whiney voice' lol OH GOD FLOWEY (also you totally stopped yourself from saying a swear didn't you?) --- Bustin' Boulder fight --- Flowey doesn't look like he gives a crap. Wait so his (its? their?) full name is "Bustin' Boulder Boulder"? ...I don't think distracting is the correct option here. Let's choose it again! 'It was nice knowing you' No no no! I'll make it out alive. 'Chastise'? So it won't crush you everytime if you chose distract Wait were those blue stains on the border before? Do I have to attak him now? No seriously, what am I supposed to do? I don't want to accidentally kill him. Okay... Looks like you DO have to fight him. ...I'm not sure if I'm progressing or not. OOOH THAT WAS CLOSE So uhhh. that was that. I'm not sure if you could've solved it peacefully. Then again. we gained zero exp so... --- Toriel --- Toriel moment? Is this gonna turn into a horror game? She didn't see me? Now I'm walking on my own. OHHH GOD SHE DID SEE ME Oh that's it. That was the end of the demo. --- Other --- Wait, excuse me? I just returned to the file select screen and it said test subjects??? I can't go back to the menu... Yeah it said 'Welcome back, test subject.' Creepy. Oh cool the game has unique text for throwing away certain food items.
