Playthrough notes of UnderswAAAp, an April Fools joke that pretended to be the demo of TS!Underswap (which you should totally play btw). Started on 4th July 2023. This was back when I had worthwhile commentary (imo). 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 (there're also Deltarune ch 2 secret boss/route spoilers). Although it's a joke, the game gets pretty wild later on, as the content warnings indicate: This game contains mature themes. This includes coarse language, drugs, blood, sexual themes, and crass humor. Please do not play if you are squeamish or uncomfortable with any of these. You have been warned. (copy and pasted from Game Jolt page) UnderswAAAp: https://gamejolt.com/games/underswaaap/403249 TS!Underswap: https://gamejolt.com/games/tsunderswap/160094 Please refrain from reposting ever. ---Commentary below--- 'GIRL who fell into the underground'. (EDIT: It's actually 'fell from the surface' instead of what I typed) Is that making fun of people's tendencies to think CHara's a girl? I DIDN'T EVEN FIGHT-- I SPARED YOU (in response to Temmie taking a spare as a hit?) Will sth happen if I keep on sparing Temmie? Uh... I guess not. Fine, I'll fight you. There we go! *ATTACKS* OWW Temmie swears?! (NOT CLICKBAIT) 'thes Ruins'? No (in response to Asgore saying this way please). Asgore acknowledges Temmie's a doll? Oh god, is there a save point anywhere? Wait why does Chara land on red flowers? Are they even wearing a green and yellow shirt? Oh man it's been a long time since I played classic RPG games, I'm not used to not playing in eight-directional. --- RUINS --- OH FINALLY A SAVE POINT Okay gonna open full screen now... WOAH I RUN REALLY FAST No seriously, their (or should I say 'her'?) shirt doesn't look green, it looks blue. Okay it's getting kinda annoying to switch back and forth btwn fullscreen and out to write this so I'm gonna use windowed again. Besides, it doesn't look the best in fullscreen. No repeat dialogue I see. If it's so simple, then why aren't you letting me do it? 'Not too hard is it?' I could've done that myself. It would've been way easier than your actual puzzle anyways. Can't interact with the buttons... Oh NOW I get to do a puzzle. Ture, second ppl deserves love too (but not THAT kind *wink wink*). ???? Where did Asgore go? Bro disppeared. Is the text out of bounds or sth? It's probably intentional, but... Yo Asgore kinda sus? Doesn't acknowledge that I left... Though, I guess I can't expect a lot from a game made by RPG maker. The next area is literally blocked. It won't allow me to go on until I talk to the dummy. Well that's a rude thing to say to someone who spared you. What does sparing even do? It doesn't even do anything. Guess we'll fight. I HAD NO CHOICE ASGORE THE GAME FORCED ME TO Maybe act will include sth next time. Ohhh, a harder puzzle. Oh my god the random encounter sound effect scared me. Lmao tfw you get scared by random encounters. Oh. I thought that path was the actual puzzle and you had to follow it.... Imagine you had to do this part in the Blueberry chase... OMG ...The room is blocked off? ???????? WH- Whatever, there's no point to questioning this game. OH NO WALKING TO THE END OF THE HALL BY MYSELF WHATEVER SHALL I DO? Bye. Oh. It doesn't work. Can I find Asgore at the end of the pillar? You can't interact with the pillar. OK. Is this Kingdescription? Yeah I know you were hiding behind it. I just couldn't interact with it. NOOOOO DON'T LEAVE ME/j Oh FINALLY we get to act. I wonder if something will happen if you actually wait... 'So that's what you meant by daddy' LMAOO Now I'm curious to see what will happen if you flirt with him first. There are actually different stuff for repeating stuff. Well, some of the options at least. Just casually bothering Asgore. No big deal. Wait before we leave... [Side note: My dad is getting pizza rght now, but I'm not coming with him because I have more important things to do... like playing a video game.] Ok it's been like 5 minutes and nothing is happening; let's move on. Wait was that a-- Oh I thought the dev accidentally put two fullstops next to each other, whoops. Wow I've been playing for seventeen minutes now. Ahh, here is... a piece of cheese? (Blueberry reference?) I'm just able to get an infinite amount of cheese. Epic. I got 27 cheese. Hopefully it's gonna come in handy. Oh my, do I actually get to solve a puzzle? (the answer is yes) I didn't see the lower left path so I thought I got a bit stuck there. Oh look-- a rock! Accidentally pushed it to the side, whoops. AH HA! I solve it! Feels like I'm gonna fall if I touch those things(?). KNEW IT. --- ??? --- Oh no. This is where we're gonna meet Blueberry, isn't it? Finally a line of dialogue(?) by Chara? No, the save descriptions and the battle text don't count. 'much like yourself' HMMMMM... OH BOY I CAN'T WAIT TO EXPLORE THIS CREEPY PLACE. Were my cheecks blue before? Huh. I guess I jus--- WAIT A MINUTE Chara has their green shirt back! Oh. Fingers. Fingers pointing up? Oh yeah that just makes sense. Of course they would point to your direction after you touch them. YOO WD GASTER IN THE WALLS?! Wait, the right hand is facing the opposite way. Uh, you? ( referring to the sign) OH WAIT-- There we go. Ah yes, eyeballs in hands. Perfectly normal stuff. WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'BLUE EYES'??? This just turned into a full-on horror game. Oh it's HIM. Bye. I want nothing to do with you. Gahh I need him, don't I? Of course the weird heart thing doesn't talk to us if HE isn't here. It won't let me progress if I don't help him out. Alright, fine. I'll save your stupid ass, Blueberry, IF that is your real name (it's not). Let's get this over with. No (in response to the question). BYEEEEE. Okay for real now. IDK how I somehow freed him. It's simple, just don't repay me. He just suddenly teleported behind me-- He's freaking lv 12. That's a big red flag. Oh great, he also has a BUTCHER'S KNIFE. Seriously huge red flags. The save point shoulda said 'the dread of Blueberry coming with you fills you with DETERMINATION'... and 'HP fully restored'. Cripes, look at the way he walks. 'magnificent BLUE'? WHere's your 'berry', huh? Calling it now, guys, he's a fake. OH MY GOD HE JUMPED OVER IT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING *Looks at item description* Cool but how do I... *gets stuck* Uh oh... Oh I made it, good. Stupid heart being a shipper... Can you actually die from these things though? OH GOD YOU ACTUALLY TAKE DAMAGE FROM THEM. These things are pretty scary though. And what's with the hitboxes? Good thing I could go back to start, I would NOT want to deal with that again. Imagine you died rom those things.... Nawwww. 'the hand want to hear your response' Cripes what kinda power does this dude have? If they want just lowercase letters, why do they gotta include the other stuff too? (Yes, yes, I know it's because of the RPG maker system, but...) Wait, what as I supposed to input again? Oh. I didn't even talked to the sign first. Wait, it's NOT red? Maybe it's... yellow? It's too little letters for yellow... If it's not red, the what IS it? It's not--- Maybe I have to refer to the guide for this... I'll the other one for now. I accidentally pushed one of the eyes upwards. Whoops. I assume that sound is for when you put it in the correct location? So the the smiley faces in the middle are its nostrils? I thought it was indicative of the pieces' placements. Anyways. let's get that rock--- I mean, stone. So far, we got 3 numb stones. All that's left is that place. GOLD???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! UGHHH Finally, we have all the stones. Now let's go talk to the sign. You want more??? I guess we have to do it one at a time. You're a hungry sign, you know that? HOW DOES IT KNOW MY NAME???? Not sure if the eyes (I mean, hands) at the entrance do anything. Then again, I could just go back here via my save point. That's.... me up there? But with a different colour palatte. Specifically, the one I had before falling down... here. Welp. That just happened. *reads Blueberry's act description* What the hell? This dude needs to value his life more. Gosh. What will crying do? ... I guess it heals? Cripes, this guy can do consecutive hits. How much HP does this thing have? 'feels warmer'? Uhhhh. FINALLY. Blueberry's reaction here reminds me of Ralsei's reaction to beating Spamton NEO. Except Deltarune handles it way better. --- SPEP TOWN --- Oh yeah, like YOU aren't disgusting. What is 'yeesh'? This is a pretty long ride. More and more Speptown posters as we go further. Like a LOT. Oh finally it's over. For once, I actually agree with you, Blueberry. ...I saved over my save in the ??? area. FU---- I can... go through the bus? Ok... Oh, I thought they were standing. It wasn't very obvious. Hey, let me talk to you, random citizen! Amazing (in response to the contents of the trash bag) Aww... I can't break into their houses (in a game, come on, don't take this out of context) 'Vacancy: 0' Let's change that right n--- Oh, can't get in that one either. Well nice meeting you... person. I didn't really appreciate you screaming in my face though. Second person we speak to is... more comprehensible but not really. Why's there a question mark at the end of 'locked' if you check the window? Yeah well, you're not the only one who can talk. SANS THE SPEP No repeat dialogue for checking him again... *Gasp* cat? Oh... it's a dog. OK jeez I'll do your stupid sidequest Find hidden dancer after getting to Moyai(?) and go back to the sidequest guy. Got it. Why can you check some of the garbage bags if it's just garbage inside. Oh I can get inside Mospeps. Well that was a great use of my time. ... Oh, I just realized. This isn't called Speptown, it's called Spepville. Oh boy, we're at the st**p club. You can't tell me exactly, but then you tell me exactly what to get. A pasta, a flower, and a .... blood sample? That last one's kinda concerning. (Also is that pink ghost on the left supposed to be a reference to the weird sensual stuff ppl do to Mettacrit?) The rightmost one kinda looks like Hatsune Miku... Oh NOW Mcspep's actually does sth. Get all the pastas. Why is ravioli automatically equipped? Why is the candy smoking then? LMAO repeat dialogue on point. Spaghetti isn't considered pasta? ;( So the green items are the correct ideas. They're also automatically equipped. Ohhh, you can find flowers in the trash bags. I got the red rose, and it's the correct option... or not. I found the blue rose and it also automatically equipped. Before we show these to that guy, I need to search for the RED HERRINGS. Why? Cause it's FUN. Spep Sans can bleed confirmed? Also seems like the pasta one is the only way to know which one is the thing you need to get? Unless I haven't been paying attention... 'Dad's favourite' hmmm... There should be 2 red herrings and 1 real one. EDIT: YEP! Moyai's the one in the middle... I'll be honest... Blueberry's pretty thoughtful for you. Like, If I didn't know he was a yandere/ someone with attachment issues, I would think he's alright. What... an image. Moyai posing like your French girls... in a bikini. Don't forget (see what I did there?) the pixelated head on top of the clearer body. OH NONONONONON 'SOMETHING SPECIAL' I'm... not a blueberry. If you want a blueberry, he's right outside the door. Yes... I wonder who that someone is... Oh godd..... I see why it can be uncomfortable for some now. Ok, so... He didn't do 'it'. But it's VERY suggestive. Ok time to go back to that guy. I still have the equipment... Fantastic. oK SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE GUY. Let's find the secret dancer. Is it one of the people watching? Apparently not. Maybe it doesn't have to be people inside the club. What if it turns out to be Sans? That would be really funny. One of the trash bags say an ordinary trashbag for some reason? OH MY GOD IT'S IN ONE OF THE TRASH BAGS. Why is it playing an arranged version of Susie's theme? I faintly recall someone posting this GIF somewhere... I can't get out???? Oh finally. I considered trying to exit out of the game before it stopped. And the sidequest guy disppears. BTW I noticed one of the guys is walking slightly faster than the others. IDK if that's intentional or not. Maybe the reward is the secret boss??? Huh, would you look at that. The bodies ARE cleaned up. That's not creepy at all. A giant hand... blocking the way. And now we're somewhere after touching the hand. The word 'snowgrave' popped up in my head, but then I remember this game came out before DT ch2. We can't fall down the holes. Wait... Don't tell me there's a chase sequence. OH ME GOD IT'S SNAS UN----- Speaking of 'hopes and dreams'. That's a song in UT. No you don't. Nope, can't stay with me buddy. YES, Sans! Call him out! LMAO. Oh god, he's revealing his true colours. Yep, the facts. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE BLUEBERRY NOW WE HAVE TO FIGHT HIM NAFKSDNFGSGWREHEA53AH omg it's SPEPIROTH. --- SPEPIROTH --- Weeak. Can Chara not do any damage? Chara has new acts in this fight. Cool. Let's try cheer on. Just to see what happens. 'Kiss someone to revive'? I don't like the sound of that... OH [$%@#] THAT WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE. Good thing we let Chara heal us. It seems like Chara will always go last, which makes sense considering Blueberry should have more spd than us. (who is 'us' referring to anyways?) Confident skips a turn? Nvm Blueberry was just stunned. Attacks don't seem to be better? THERE we go. What's up with Chara's status effects? 'Realizes what she's (as much as I hate to use it) done' WTH? Okay, it looks like status effects can apply to both characters, NVM. Annnnnd we died. Well I know what to do now so it should be better? ctrl doesn't skip battle dialogue. Noted. Oh my god did we beat him? Uh oh. NEVERMIND OH MY GOD HE IS TOO POWERFUL (looking)!!!! HOLY---- Starting off with a powerful attack, are we? Sooo.... we need to keep Blueberry alive. Because Chara can't do jack. Why would you buff up the secret boss's stats?????? You know what they say, third(?) time's the charm! Nah screw this I am NOT wasting my time doing this. Uhhh... Oh there we go. It always seems to do that for some reason. --- BACK TO RUINS --- Ah. I can't go back down. ASSSSSSGOREEEE 'Strange'? Strange what? He IS my dad. You mean YOU'RE gonna try something. Can't go to the left. Now THESE are golden flowers. Maybe I missed some in the ruins. I'm never calling you by that. Can't interact with anything but the lamp. I don't think I'm sleepy. Ok fine I'll go to bed. There's no pie by my bed? Ah yes I'll sleep again. Asgore's just lying there. 'It's you!' I can't see myself. Oh crap HE's in there. Can't go into the middle room so... Were there red flowers in here before? FORESHADOWING Why do we know he's dreaming about blood anyways? Normally, I won't wake HIM up but... Asgore still isn't answering? I don't like how it implies he watches you sleep if you chose to sleep while he's here. Can't sleep in his bed of course.... Time for that sweet, sweet pie. Uh oh. He's gonna SNAP Imma call you when you're next to me. Okay That didn't do anything. Gonna sleep for a moment before getting him. Can't forget your rest after all! Let's surprise-talk him... By talking to him from behind. Kinda off topic, but I like how his theme kinda sounds a bit insane here. Like, the high pitched notes play perfectly well with that 'hate it so much' line. Just, wanted to point out that it encapsulates his insanity well. Dude's having a mental breakdown right now. 'Anything'???!!! Hmmm... Ok you can leave for me how does that sound--- OH GOD his face while he says he'll do anything for me-- I wonder if something different will happen if I say I do. HIDE, ASGORE! --- storybook --- 'Undeground' How does Fris--- I mean XXX know that they can break the barrier? It's probably a story the two made up. I liked that they included that they had to eat lunch first. Yo based Asgore. Uh oh RUN ASGORE1!! Oh that's interesting, you can't turn the lights off. ...They somehow turned off either way??? --- THIS --- Oh boy, are you excited for what comes next? I sure am! Huh. This time it actually forces you not to sleep. OH That can't be anything bad, right? Why are there... stains literally anywhere? Ah, an open door. Nothing bad will happen if I go through right? PSYCH---- The mirror still says it's you. Why do boss monsters bleed? I thought all monsters couldn't bleed? I think you mean YOU attacked HIM, not the other way around. Simple. The game forced me to. I literally could not progress without you. I just realized he has white stars in his eyes when his expression turns scary. Oh boy, it's one of those 'If I can't have you, then no one can' scenarios. Hey, that's what Sans did in the Japanese localization when you spare him! Crap. I forgot to press shift when I got out. I wonder who's saying 'STAY DETERMINED' in the game over screen? Ha! I juked your ass! I knew that you can just exit out of the room as soon as you go in thnaks to Ao Oni. --- after chase --- Of course you can't go back in. I'm starting to think Chara was changed to be a girl to get that weird heart thing to say that couple line. I don't think you'll actually die here. That sound effect was likely just a scare tactic. You also can't go back to the previous room once you go into the next. Your HP fills up for the weirdest reasons. Like why would the fear of letting him catch up to you make you feel determined (Ok that kinda makes sense in hindsight, but stil.)? I wonder what will happen if you go in tht door first before saving. CAN you even do that? It plays sad music here. Ohhh nooooo. Have you considered that I went into that door already. Then you'll look real dumb, standing there and talking to no one. DEFINITELY the latter. And the former too I guess. Bye bbbbbeatch Bye Temmie don't wanna talk to you. --- SNOWDIN? --- HERE IT IS lmao [SPOILERS] just slides around without a walking animation. Very forceful with your words, hm? He just reveals himself after you turned around. Yes, they put a JoJo refernce in the game. I thnk the weird colours in Snowdin are also a reference to that. WOAHHH let's not get ahead of ourselves. Chara is just a child. Could the sus figure be HIM? Also how do you know about the Green Ruins? Someone was chasing me man. Oh boy here we go. I read the whole copypasta. Why is everything so ORANGE? Is Autumnleft one of the old names for the places? Also the way this story is heading by making Godzilla show up is giving me major Kuniko Takahashi vibes. Ha ha 'queen'. Hm. You dropped your pen, hm? NOO I CAN'T LEAVE He's looking at me very intently. Okay fine. I'm picking up your stupid pen. I like how Killer Queen is quoted with Japanese/Chinese symbols. OH NOOOOO He just leaves with that chad sprite. My theory is that he turned into a chad after absorbing Chara's hands. --- Epilogue --- Let's try some different options this time. Like saying 'I love you' to Blueberry (even though I don't want to) Oh and yes, I woke him up before talking to Asgore. Nothing new happened. Of course. It's still the same. Oh right the game doesn't progress unless you talk to Asgore after checking up on HIM. Slightly unrelated but Blueberry's overworld sprite kinda looks like Buttontale's (or I guess Coraline...) What the--- He was on top of the room for a moment. It forces you to save first. Alright, that answers my questions. I think I'll look up the post credits scene. I do NOT want to do that battle again.
