Just another Gaming Blog – You either got or you haven't got style
Well… I did a lot of things. I really tried hard to escape all those attacks. I will win eventually – You’ll see.. cuz I’m determined!
In the meantime I strolled through the caves of the Underworld, met friends, had cooking parties, talked a lot, bought stuff (mostly Crab Apples) and enjoyed snail races. And of course touched those squeaky mushrooms.
Well, at least the for the first time. Whoa. That game was quite entertaining. It even turned out totally unexpected. Have you ever played a game and you knew how it would end? Bummer.
Give Red Strings Club a try if you’re in Cyberpunk dystopian stuff. It’s a really short story (about 4-5 hours), but it’s replayable. And thats something today. Isn’t it? Ok. Guess you’re right. Beat me ….
In a world ruled by corporations and technology “Supercontinent” is one of the most important. It produces neural implants that can enhance or alter human conscience. Two friends, Donovan and Brandeis discover a secret, that a missing android Type Akara-184 holds. This Akara Unit just came to Donovan and his bar – “the Red Strings Club” – because it was hacked by a hacking group called PROXYMA at Supercontinent itself.
Now it is up to the player to discover the secret behind Supercontinents plan to manipulate their sold human implants. The story begins with a falling Brandeis. Seemingly from a high building. It all starts ~ with the end. Or so it seems.
The beginning captures me right away, with its athmosphere (raining of course), the melodic intriguing soundtrack – And if you’ve read William Gibsons “Neuromancer” or played “Shadowrun”, or have seen “Blade Runner” it’ll get you too. All of these seem to be the muse of cyberspace. Like Case in Neuromancer, Brandeis is a cyberspace hacker discovering Supercontinent’s plot from the secret Akara Unit ..
Now they hide Akara-184 as a Chobits-like doorman welcoming customers at Donovans bar …
Let me give you some screens:

Blade Runner – 1984
… all too often. But, all the way after meeting PAPYRUS and his comic brother sans (one of the greatest font puns!), after fighting UNDYNE and making friends with some other monsters, I still think about how to entwine and curdle up Muffet, the cute spider monster lady.
Up until now I like Aaron. Our flex duels are awesome, amazing and historical! And the Mettaton Game Shows. “Amazing” (insert nosy voice here)!
I mostly failed my first assumption of the soundtrack. Sometimes it is quite a soothing pianoplay, then 8bit-MIDI followed e.g. by an addacio of 8bit warfare in fights. Another time its a beautiful athmospheric synthesized sound. I like especially the squeaking mushrooms. It is so much fun to turn them off and on (squeak, squeak) 😀
Well ~ Gotta go, lie around with my friend Nabstablook … ^^
Some more screenshots for you:
Well, at first I thought “what a crappy JRPG”. The graphics felt like those old EGA Games and the music like those old retro 8bit-MIDI-Chiptunes. Quiet an Impression. But once captured within, you’re really lost. As a “one man” Project, all done by Toby Fox (you can read all about it on other pages) it is a really impressive piece of artwork. Since I am a fan of JRPGs, I played my fair share of some. Undertale’s story is mainly a shared world of humans and monsters, wherein the monsters left the surface and are dwelling in the underground. Your main character is falling down into this underground and “fights” his/her way back. You’ll encounter a rich story with funny parts, and a thorough gameplay. Either to fight monsters or to spare monsters and befriend some on your way. Like “not” fighting the introductory character TORIEL. But don’t let me spoil you.
You’ll start in some ruins rescued by TORIEL from your fall. In this introductory part you’ll learn everything you need to know about the gameplay and controls. I really liked switching off the lamp in your room results in turning the music into a music box’s lullaby.
