I finally managed to play this game on an app called Winlator, and it was magnificent! The graphics were amazing! The characters and backgrounds resembled the ones from the original game, so much so that they were indistinguishable from the ones from Undertale. The music was exactly the same as the soundtrack from Undertale as well, making it look and feel like I was playing a sequel of the game.
Everyone was in character, and that added to the feeling of playing a sequel rather than a fanmade game. Interactions with Flowey were also the same - as well as him acting as a guide, and telling you what to do to get a happy ending. Him manipulating you, and the game crashing. How nostalgic XD
I really loved the entire experience, even the bad ends had a purpose, and the actual ending more than made up for them.
Thank you for making this game, and for making me love Sans even more than I already do. This game is one that will stay with me for a LONG time, and one that I was lucky to experience.
heya! I was wondering, as I played through the game an finally got to kill Sans for the first, I got to meet Chara and was given a choice between erasing the world and not erasing it. I chose erasing it. Now every time I enter the game I only hear the wind and see nothing but black (which makes sense). however, is there a way I can reset without losing progress and continue playing? Or is everything already lost from now on and I'll have to restart all over again? Thank you for answering!
Hi, I tried to download the game on mac, and my computer doesn't open the file because it's trying to prevent potential malware from files it can't recognize. Do you know if there's anyway around this, or is there a different place from the itch.io page to download the game? Thanks!
Oh shoot, I'm sorry! :( I'm not familiar with a Mac workaround. I just know on Windows we have a button to bypass. I did release it on GameJolt as well, if you wanna try downloading it from there! Hopefully that works!
I can try my best to help, but I can't promise anything, as this VN is not supported on Android at all. Also, I don't have an android so I can't replicate the issue. I'm sorry :(
What are you doing when you get this error? Are you trying to launch the game? Or has the game already launched and this is happening during a certain part of the game?
Hi, I tried looking over my code, but I can't find anything wrong. This doesn't seem to be an issue on PC, so perhaps there's a fix for the Joiplay app specifically? easein_circ is one of the transition easing functions built into the Ren'Py engine.
OKAY SO! I made it to the end and I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO RESET CAUSE SANS SAID HE WOULDN"T MIND IT WASN"T MY BRIGHTEST MOMENT, and the tutorial to reset completely didn't work for me, and it would literally mean everything to me if you could make a new, more in depth version on how to do it on a computer? I love your game and I'm so happy you're active on here, cause I adored this! I feel so bad for resetting, I need our happy ending! (I am so sorry this is so extreme, I just spent 4 hours playing and crying over how beutiful the art was)
Hi there! I'm also making a game with Ren'py, and I was wondering if you could share how you made the fight? I've been trying to figure out how to make a sprite move and be controlled by the player but it just won't work.
All of the movements were done using Ren'Py ATL. When a choice is made, the animations play like a movie. The player does not actually have control of where the sprites move. It's basically a pre-programmed animation that plays depending on what was selected.
If you're looking for movement like arrow key movement, I don't have a whole lot of experience with that in Ren'Py. And it would be a little move involved. Ren'Py is, first and foremost, a visual novel engine. So anything extra like that has to be coded from scratch.
I used to play this game during my middle school years. I absolutely REFUSED to reset, but then I realized that I had to in order to progress...I was NOT disappointed, so thank you for making this game.
i never thought i'd be so happy playing an undertale fan game where you fall in love with sans, but i guess i wouldnt know this existed if i didnt start looking for undertale dating sims out of boredom.
does anyone know the list of moves to do sans' fight? I'm really really bad at remembering so I have my own list I keep adding to every time I mess up- And like- I don't have any items either so I'm not looking forward to killing everyone again just to get the butterscotch pie. please-
Omg I cried so hard. It felt so short and yet I spent my whole day playing. It was absolutely perfect.The scene in the corridor omg omg it was so hard to hold back the tears I was in a zoom meeting omg. I truly, sincerely hope they get to be freed one day cuz if not I'm gonna turn emo istg.
I really liked the game, I think I enjoyed litterally everything in it! The writing, the art, the music... everything feels so awesome and... right? The atmosphere of Undertale is really felt so good here...
could you please also add the option to play this on the phone(like an I-phone perhaps?)? I’m way too broke to afford a PC yet still wanna play the game myself 😓
Unfotunately, porting to phone is not possible for me. To develop for iOS, I need a Mac computer. But I don't use a Mac. Also, I would need to join the Apple Developer Program, which costs money every year to maintain. I wouldn't be able to put it on Android either, because I don't have an Android phone to test it. In addition, I wouldn't be allowed to put a fangame on the AppStore or on Android in the first place.
Because of this, it has to stay a PC only game. I'm sorry. ☹️
Thank you for playing! The player does not have an exact age. However, Toriel hinted at the beginning that the player is "much older than a human child" and "probably too old to listen to bedtime stories". This means that the player, at the very least, is a young adult.
this is insanely well written, and i can tell a lot of effort went into the making of this game. the dialogues left me smiling for a long time, this is honestly one of the best visual novel games i have ever played!i love this a lot gosh this game was amazing
Hi! You shouldn't need to use WinZip to unzip it if you're on a Windows computer. You should just be able to right-click the folder and select "Extract All".
this is absolutely incredible. the amount of details put into this are really beautiful. thanks for sharing this game with us. the story was addictive and magnificent (if we can say that in english). tbh i'm in love with sans now. its deeply frustrating that i cant find the words to describe how much this game was beautiful. it truly looks like a sequel. the love story was mesmerizing and cute. we can see your interest in undertale cuz everything is just so logical and smooth ?? even the other characters still have their own personalities and are lovely. im sorry if this comment is a bit messy but i poured all my heart in it. i truly loved your game!!
mannn reading this comment section is wholesome, just somebody having a problem and the owner fixing it, best game maker, i haven't played that game because im on my school chromebook and the version is chrome OS so none of these work, and going to linux also doesnt work so i dont know if its possible to make a chrome OS download for the game, anyways thanks for helping everyone
I really wish I could create a port for Chrome OS. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to do it for Ren'Py games. :( Not sure if Ren'Py will release Chrome OS support in the future. If it does, I'll look into porting it!
I do hope you get a chance to play it soon! Sorry for the inconvenience!
Its okay no other downloads for any games work on chrome OS just sometimes RARELY on gamejolt it doesnt need a download and you can just play it instantly, and who knows im using a school chromebook so maybe if anybody finds an easy way to create a port for chrome OS im pretty sure itch.IO will be blocked. ill try to play on my phone soon, looking forward for that.
The game crashed when he quick me of the game, and he dosen't want to work. What do i ave to do for the game to work (the ignore button dosen't work) i want to play the game so please help me !
Thank you for giving a screenshot! This helps me with troubleshooting. I think I need to double check my code and release a new version of the game. This might take me two days to fix. I'll reply back when a new version of the game is available with the fix.
I've uploaded the new version of the game! (v1.0.3). You'll need to redownload it. Unfortunately, you will have to play the whole game again. But the bug should be fixed!
Make sure to delete the old game and unzip the new game!
Hi there! Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! These are all the instructions I have for Mac, but I don't have screenshots to go with it I'm sorry! I hope maybe this might help!
I finished this game and all I can say is.. AMAZING! You nailed this. The art, the story, the way the characters act. Usually I don't like games like these, but I thought I'd try. Boy am I glad I did. This has been the most enjoyable VN I have ever played! I really hope to see more and more of your work in the future. I loved it, every character seems to not be ooc and I was relieved to see that to be honest. Usually people don't capture the characters too well. This game surprised me a lot, good job!
You honestly nailed the writing, it's like it was written by Tobyfox because it was so believeable, logical and you really captured the romantic bonds, honestly this is not only the best Undertale fangame I've ever played with but also the best fanmade VN I've ever played with. I can feel you put your heart into this project and while doing that you also sticked to the source-material and did not make any non-cannon scene into this game, for example I don't know where but I heard this "Super secret codeword" somewhere, like probably it's in the original game I don't really remember tbh it's been a while but I remember that talk with Sans and the fact that you used it in this VN is amazing, I hope to see more works from you in the future, and while I'm waiting I will play through all the other VNs you have on your page <3
MY GOD IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD. The game from where you look at it is beautiful, you can see the love with which it was created, I love how the characters always remained faithful to the canon, it felt like Undertale itself and it was wonderful. It took my heart in one night and it was beautiful, really thank you very much for creating this beautiful game, I would play it again a thousand times and each time it would be just as wonderful. Really, congratulations for creating such a work and thank you very much for brightening up my night so much <3
Wow. All I can say is just wow. I wasnt expecting it would be that great at first. I really enjoied the story and the characters who wasnt just left in the background (I hoped to see Asgore too but it doesnt matter). How you made Sans act was very canon and I loved this. I also loved the thing about Sans defense and the Flowey ending.I wasnt expecting to have the power of reset or to do different routes so when I found out I tried them all. After the happy ending I tried the "genocide" and I found really interesting how Sans doesnt fight you until you reset again and again (probably because of his love for us). I wasnt expecting Chara at all but still liked the way you made them and "this isnt the world I know" really add things to the story itself and connect this fan game to undertale "move to another universe". Another thing I wasnt expecting was the ending of the pacifist after the genocide.. that really hurted so I decided to deleted the game and re-downloaded it to play a pacifist and keeping the promise. (By the way, it really hits when Sans call us with our name in both route and contexts)
In the end I really thank you for your work, that was amazing and I cant wait to see the other things you've done and I am very sorry for my english and grammar since it's not my mother language but I really wanted to add a comment there.

The way you remix the music just absolutely makes me melt. like, the dummy fight was such a bop oml I freaking love it sm
Oh I didn't make that song! You'll find the credits for each song in the music room in "Extras"!
I finally managed to play this game on an app called Winlator, and it was magnificent! The graphics were amazing! The characters and backgrounds resembled the ones from the original game, so much so that they were indistinguishable from the ones from Undertale. The music was exactly the same as the soundtrack from Undertale as well, making it look and feel like I was playing a sequel of the game.
Everyone was in character, and that added to the feeling of playing a sequel rather than a fanmade game. Interactions with Flowey were also the same -
as well as him acting as a guide, and telling you what to do to get a happy ending. Him manipulating you, and the game crashing. How nostalgic XDI really loved the entire experience, even the bad ends had a purpose, and the actual ending more than made up for them.
Thank you for making this game, and for making me love Sans even more than I already do. This game is one that will stay with me for a LONG time, and one that I was lucky to experience.
How can I get my happy ending with Sans again? qwq
I deleted the game and reinstalled it and it's still the same. Thank you very much for the response. nwn
No dice. I got a new error message:
```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:

But, it's okay. Most games work for me in Joiplay, so I won't worry too much about this. Thank you for trying to help me, anyway.
Spoilers ahead!!

heya! I was wondering, as I played through the game an finally got to kill Sans for the first, I got to meet Chara and was given a choice between erasing the world and not erasing it. I chose erasing it. Now every time I enter the game I only hear the wind and see nothing but black (which makes sense). however, is there a way I can reset without losing progress and continue playing? Or is everything already lost from now on and I'll have to restart all over again? Thank you for answering!
Hi! You have to be patient. Wait like.... 5+ minutes in the dark, windy void. And Chara will talk to you again and ask you a few questions.
thanks so much for answering! This is a wonderful game you've created ^^

I was able to figure it out and find the way to bypass! Thank you!!
Sorry to bother you about this, but, I tried to play the game on android using an app called Joiplay, and I got this error message:
```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Do you know what the problem is? And can you please fix it? I really want to play this game!
I can try my best to help, but I can't promise anything, as this VN is not supported on Android at all. Also, I don't have an android so I can't replicate the issue. I'm sorry :(
What are you doing when you get this error? Are you trying to launch the game? Or has the game already launched and this is happening during a certain part of the game?
I just click on the game, and it immediately comes up. Other games play fine on Joiplay, so I have no idea what could be wrong.
Hi, I tried looking over my code, but I can't find anything wrong. This doesn't seem to be an issue on PC, so perhaps there's a fix for the Joiplay app specifically? easein_circ is one of the transition easing functions built into the Ren'Py engine.
Okay. I tried using the newest version of Joiplay, and an older version, but neither of them worked. I'll try finding out more about the error online.
I'll keep doing research on my end, too. Sorry that you're having to jump through hoops.
I got desperate, and messaged the creator of the Ren'py engine PyTom. If they can't help me, I'm screwed.
I updated part of my code, though I'm not sure if it will resolve it. Do you have an email so I can send you this updated version to test?
OKAY SO! I made it to the end and I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO RESET CAUSE SANS SAID HE WOULDN"T MIND IT WASN"T MY BRIGHTEST MOMENT, and the tutorial to reset completely didn't work for me, and it would literally mean everything to me if you could make a new, more in depth version on how to do it on a computer?

nvm i found it! pressed windows and R, then pasted the original thing from the guide

ohh okay I see, thank you for responding!
amazing job. i-i didn't cry... i swear
We're so in love rn
I used to play this game during my middle school years. I absolutely REFUSED to reset, but then I realized that I had to in order to progress...I was NOT disappointed, so thank you for making this game.
oh wow
this is actually really good
i never thought i'd be so happy playing an undertale fan game where you fall in love with sans, but i guess i wouldnt know this existed if i didnt start looking for undertale dating sims out of boredom.
does anyone know how to get the secret route? asking for a friend
does anyone know the list of moves to do sans' fight? I'm really really bad at remembering so I have my own list I keep adding to every time I mess up- And like- I don't have any items either so I'm not looking forward to killing everyone again just to get the butterscotch pie. please-
i really hope the secret route doesnt need me to play through the true LOVE one. i dont wanna reset, dont wanna make sans or myself sad.
thank you for the lovely story.
was hoping for more love interests :(
Omg I cried so hard. It felt so short and yet I spent my whole day playing. It was absolutely perfect.The scene in the corridor omg omg it was so hard to hold back the tears I was in a zoom meeting omg. I truly, sincerely hope they get to be freed one day cuz if not I'm gonna turn emo istg.
MY FAVOURITE SCENE OF SANS IS THE STARS THING- I PHYSICALLY ‘AWWED’
uhmmm, how do i continue?? I keep clicking continue, but there's no file to load? I'm so confused
I'm assuming this is your first playthrough. If you didn't save, there would be no file to load. You have to RESET.
yeah I learned that after, thank you
Yes, you have to RESET.
I really liked the game, I think I enjoyed litterally everything in it! The writing, the art, the music... everything feels so awesome and... right? The atmosphere of Undertale is really felt so good here...
could you please also add the option to play this on the phone(like an I-phone perhaps?)? I’m way too broke to afford a PC yet still wanna play the game myself 😓

Because of this, it has to stay a PC only game. I'm sorry. ☹️
It‘s okay,i can always watch the playthroughs on YouTube 😅
Will there be other characters...iunno...like Muffet or something?
No. The story is complete.
Ah. Okay... Thanks for replying.
This game is super good! I just want to know how old are we in the game?
Thank you for playing! The player does not have an exact age. However, Toriel hinted at the beginning that the player is "much older than a human child" and "probably too old to listen to bedtime stories". This means that the player, at the very least, is a young adult.
AWWW I GOT THE BEST ENDING IN THE WORLDDD <333333333
I'M SOOO HAPPY WITH MY BLOVED SANS <3
THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING GAMEE I REALLY NEED THAT
this is insanely well written, and i can tell a lot of effort went into the making of this game. the dialogues left me smiling for a long time, this is honestly one of the best visual novel games i have ever played!i love this a lot gosh this game was amazing
Hello there! I tried to download your game but it looks like my WinZip free trial is finished. Is there a way to play your game without paying?
Hi! You shouldn't need to use WinZip to unzip it if you're on a Windows computer. You should just be able to right-click the folder and select "Extract All".
Thanks a lot!! :D
well, there is this program called 7zip, it's basically winzip but free.
this is absolutely incredible. the amount of details put into this are really beautiful. thanks for sharing this game with us. the story was addictive and magnificent (if we can say that in english). tbh i'm in love with sans now. its deeply frustrating that i cant find the words to describe how much this game was beautiful. it truly looks like a sequel. the love story was mesmerizing and cute. we can see your interest in undertale cuz everything is just so logical and smooth ?? even the other characters still have their own personalities and are lovely. im sorry if this comment is a bit messy but i poured all my heart in it. i truly loved your game!!

ITS WORKING THANKS YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!💜💜💜
Hello! I wanted to tell the maker of this game, how much I appreciated it.
I already know that the creator only has the reset tutorial for windows.
So I wanted to ask the possible comment readers could help me with a full reset on Mac.
I would appreciate it!
Thank you in advance :)
Hi there! Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! These are all the instructions I have for Mac, but I don't have screenshots to go with it I'm sorry! I hope maybe this might help!

You honestly nailed the writing, it's like it was written by Tobyfox because it was so believeable, logical and you really captured the romantic bonds, honestly this is not only the best Undertale fangame I've ever played with but also the best fanmade VN I've ever played with.
