[review wip]

First Undertale fangame i ever cared for and been playing it to do all the three routes. Most Undertale fangames tend to be rehashed versions of the original Undertale, except with swapped personalities, for example, that tend to be ridiculous at times (and most of the time, by my words, ruin the original character's purpose). Undertale's plot is very hard to be as consistent as possible and trying to fully understand it in order to adapt it in different contextes can take a LOT of time.
This one, however, manages to excel the impossible, for taking so long (7 years) to finish while Undertale was pretty strong, with a collaborative team effort compared to Toby Fox and Temmie Chang (and guests)'s creative powers, but it does not however manage to be as hilarious as the original, due to the fact that Undertale Yellow is a side story rather than a proper journey and features a more serious mood which is noted by the lack of amount of internet and pop culture references. But hey, there are few jokes that work, actually.

But also that means that you won't actually be seeing the same Undertale characters you've been used to. Sans, Papyrus, Napstablook, Undyne, Mettaton, Alphys, all the memorable cast. Instead, you are on an earlier version of the whole underground featuring a different cast of original characters, and apparently they gained a fandom popularity, especially with Ceroba. Sorry, had to mention it earlier. I really like her, too.

The amount of detail in which Undertale's main gameplay is recreated in this fangame is done at a nearly precise manner, albeit few gameplay differences are introduced here such as a different FIGHT which consists of a circular input timing rather than a horizontal bar, which shapes up the 6 barrels of a revolver, much as how the horizontal bar represents the swinging of a knife. The enemy animation, done differently, has a more refreshened kind of animation and is indoubtly quite superior compared to most monster animation and sprites in Undertale (but anyways, the quality doesn't matter at all), albeit the fight against the Feisty Five has the best animations you would ever see in a fangame.
