I really wanted to like this game more than I did, but I don't know. I think the big thing that really sets it back is how much of its identity it owes to Undertale and its very clear inspiration from that game, but never really gets close to achieving what that game did. I really enjoyed the battle system in the second half of the game and the characters are all fun, but it always comes back to "damn, Undertale really did this much better huh" anytime this game tries to do something special, especially in how the main ending (I'll still be playing to uncover secrets and such) didn't have the same level of poignancy that Undertale's does. I know it sucks to compare games like that, but this game really presents itself in a way that it makes it really hard not to constantly compare it. I might like it more after playing through the extra content so if my score changes that's why. Overall, still a cool game I'd recommend to people, just I'd also recommend Undertale louder to them.
