I'm likely to try this multiple times in different ways to see what happens, but I have heard that actions in one playthrough have consequences in subsequent ones. Can I lock myself out of seeing anything interesting if I do this in some particular order, and, if so, would simply deleting the save file allow me to regain access to what I missed? I ask because some games go overboard in name of making your choices Matter, and I don't want a moment's caprice to donk up my leisure activity.

Not sure about the full game, but in the Demo, if you Kill Toriel on accident, then go back and save her, you'd get a different reaction than just going through the first time. Same for the other way around.

You may have to delete a save file, as the game has one of it's best mechanics being reacting to your saves as a sort of time-travel that you get called out on by an observer. That's part of the draw of the game: going through the first time, then trying it again by re-loading and seeing how the dev took that into account.

Mostly I am worried about, for instance, permanently changing text that I hadn't read the first time around into chilling comments that are more powerful and spooky if you know what they said originally.

Yeah, the game's manual spelled this out for you. Maybe you missed it the first time? Check the last page.

Are you trying to make a joke or something? There's no manual in the Steam version, only a single exe file.

I guess that only applies to the demo. Flowey vandalizes the manual based on how you played through to the Toriel fight. Unless you killed everyone, in which case every single page is replaced with the line "THAT WAS FUN. LET'S FINISH THE JOB" over and over again, ending with a picture of Flowey with his face blacked out.

That boss fight is actually really challenging, which is probably why he doesn't actually kill you. I had to eat a lot of cinnamon buns.

I know it drags the fight out longer, but I like the efficiency of bisicles.

Don't forget the ultra secret ending of kill everything and everyone that has really bizarre and terrifying implications, especially when you check the knife block and the mirror.

Theres also an ending of killing touriel , reloading and doing it over and over. Flowey comments on you being bloodthirsty

The dev even predicted things you could do even outside the game. There was a message in the homepage's source code telling not to look where you shouldnt, and if you decompiled the game and opened it in game maker, there was a message asking you not to spoil anything or mod the game until its released.

I kinda want to buy this not just to play it, but to rip it apart and see what secrets are inside(and the dev is likely expecting it)

That's awesome and I hope it gets introduced to the full game in a patch.

The Game Maker devs patched the ability to edit external files out due to possible security vulnerabilities. It was a neat feature, but c'est la vie.

He probably left you a kindly worded note to take care with his creation. He put a lot of work and love into it.

What is everybody's plans for their first run? I was thinking mostly pacifist until I run up to some rear end in a top hat. From the demo this might be one of those rare games where the evil run is actually interesting.

Full pacifist for now, some of the fights seem a little rough without the ability to level up, but I am doing ok so far.

Yeah, it's really nice seeing people enjoying the game so much, having fun experiences and reactions. I had an absolute blast playing through Undertale with my usual ~try everything I can think of~ gaming style, there's so much good stuff in it.

The game is charming as gently caress (easily the most charming of this year for me) and it's pretty much the perfect game to play after Lisa the joyful

I went into this blind today based on others' recommendations. Only two hours in.

I killed Toriel by accident and thought that was the only solution. I'm so sad over that, that I didn't kill anyone else in the game :( Too far into the game to reload my save too

If this game keeps it up, it might end up my GOTY instead of Snakebird...
