Welcome to Horrortale.

. . . with a dash of Reapertale.

Play as a customizable MC who has fallen into Mt. Ebott, a mountain that houses a kingdom of banished monsters. These monsters have been left to rot for many years; they are starved and half-mad. 

. . . and you're an ideal dinner. 

You have no way to climb back out: you can only move forward. 


The story:

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell. 

This was all part of your history class.

There are multiple monster kingdoms, although only one in your country—as far as history is aware—and where exactly they are sealed no one knows. One of the many mysteries lost to time and war. 

Specifically the Great War which took its terrible toll on humanity. Since sealing the monsters centuries ago fewer and fewer humans are born with the ability to use magic. The Great War nearly wiped out the rarities that remained, and since the war, no other human has been born with the ability to use magic. 

Which is truly a shame as the world is still filled with magic. 

Humanity is coping as best can be, but it is not an easy transition. What countries remain after the Great War are largely dependent on magic; switching to an alternative power source has been a struggle. 

The last humans who can use magic are struggling to keep up with the demand, and their aging bodies only signal humanity's time limit. 

You, like most of the population, cannot use magic. 

But that’s okay!

You don’t need magic.

You have something else. Something even better.

You have you.

    •  If he catches you, it's a final death.  
  • MAJOR -   Reaper (M) 
    •  "Yes, human, please. Waste our time more."
    • A sarcastic reaper, exasperated by your refusal to die. 
    •  If you surrender, it's a final death. 
  • MINOR - Flowey (M) 
    • "Heh. . . are you new here? What am I saying? Of course you are. Hi. I'm Flowey the Flower."
    • A flower with wilting petals who offers to guide you.
    • He's. . . tired.

This is quite possibly one of the most immersive sans au fan games i've ever played, even if you dont finish this I hope you know its the most canon faithful game I have ever played in my entire life.

(+3)

update please

(+2)

I don't care that this page hasn't been updated in 2 year and 3 months, WHOOOOO HURT YOUUU, WHO DID IT CAUSE THAT WAS UNCALLED FORRRRRR

how do i dowload?

you cant im pretty sure it can only be run in browser

(+2)

Oh you're doing such an amazing job with this. I dearly hope you keep the game in mind as it breaks my heart but makes me so happy. The music really immerses you in the emotions of each stage and some of the dialogue/options are pretty funny. My nearest dearest goal if it updates is hoping you maybe write a way for us to break the barrier, free all the monsters, and finally get some magic into these poor things. Papyrus deserves to be happy, at the very least. All the flavor text for him was so saddddd, he's my very favorite of the characters and different au variants. You've done such justice to the characters.

(+1)

i second this very loudly

i love the way it's written, so much. it's actually inspiring me to create something like this of my own. the style is amazing. i'm super bummed out it hasn't been updated in a couple years. but i hope maybe one day the creator returns to this artwork. i think it deserves so much love, very underrated.

It's a amazing game! But a little pity, my mothertongue is not English, so when I play the game I felt so hard :(

(BTW FOR WHOEVERS READING THIS COMMENT THIS MIGHT BE A SPOILER SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK? (;0^0))


I JUST FINISHED THE PART WITH LESSER DOG- I AM NOT OKAY D:

(+2)

I love the part where I died because I wore a mini skirt and got too cold 😭

(+1)

I don’t think they’re ever gonna finish the game guys. They probably have things to do.

(+2)

From what I can assume, they’re very busy with family life, so it might take a year or more for them to get the time to work on story writing and code.

(+2)

It's 100% ok if they never do, but I hope the continuing comments make them a bit happy to see. They should take pride in this work they've done, it's such a nice game.

(+1)

Personally love this i don’t know much about this au but i love it it’s so fun while yes it’s a little annoying to die so many times i wrote down what actions to take when in a life or death situation plus the dev logs are extremely helpful!

I cant wait for more updates!

(+3)

im at the part where you exit the waterfall on the route with all three of the skeletons but it does not let me move forward. is it a bug  or is it not completed yet ?

Yeah, me too. What is this?

(1 edit) (+2)

Unfortunately it's not completed yet :(

(+2)

Can you pls make a Killertale version?? I really like your games and would love to see how you would do killer.

(+5)

The writing is so well done. I do hope this isn’t the end. I’m looking forward to what Hotlands has in store. 

(+1)

Pretty cool undertale fangame! Lots of endings too! Keep up the great work!

(+6)

You did NOT kiss the brick before lobbing it straight at my head. That scene with the Lesser Dog genuinely broke my heart and I'm crying. It's so incredibly well written and I'm so glad I could bring him some happiness before he went. 10/10, just wished I could've saved him too ;-;

(+2)(-1)

Guys...i can't find the menu...could help me pls

(+5)

this is the first interactive fiction I played and I enjoyed it a lot, I hope it will get updated soon :D

(+3)

Im stuck in hotlandssssssss :(((( 

(It wont let me continue)

Guys I found the completed game, it's called Underfell and it's available on Darkpetal's page! 

Edit: It is not the same. The characters are and so is the setting but it is a completely different story and honestly I personally prefer this one.. There are no interactions with our friends in that one and a lot of the content is totally different so...

Darkpetal, please! Complete this game, we love it...

(+4)

Its completely different because its meant to be another AU, i cant tell from your tone if you know this or not. They're completely different universes...I'm not sure if darkpetal is still active, their last post on their tumblr page is from May. I could be wrong, but i believe they may have a young kid, so that is probably eating up a lot of their time.

(+4)

"what the chocolate colored biscuits" first five minutes into making a discardable vessel and i'm already having fun

(+1)

ok this was even better than i thought it was

(+4)

can i please have help lol? I'm stuck on the screen that appeaers when you get out of waterfall, and there's nowhere to click or progress

REALLY hoping darkpetal hasn't abandoned this game, its so cool

REALLL I LOVE horrortale, personally my fav AU:3

(+3)

Was playing and had my friend on the phone- and during the character creation page, when it asked "Where do you have the most to offer?"- I immediately took it a different way, and my friend went, no sweetie- but I answered my thighs truthfully- and then Sans got them sliced like a ham and I was screaming at my friend...who only laughed at me- Love this game and can't wait for update!!!!!!!

(+1)

okay so im still getting used to itchio, if a page has no download link does that mean it is browser only?


i dont have internet on my pc, and browser stuff isnt usually easy on mobile so i just wanna make sure 😅

(+3)

yes, it means it's browser only

(+3)

I didn’t know you could shatter your soul

(+4)

how to smash ghost?

(+4)

I can’t go past waterfall, is that because it’s not done yet? I’m at the save point and it won’t let me pass 😭😭

(+2)

yep, there no updates for now...

(+3)

Noooooo!!!! Just let me date my horror 😭😭😭

(+2)

same here. bud. haha

(+2)

sameeeee

(+1)

I loved this game! ❤ I have a game suggestion, in which the player is a customisable sans in the original undertale universe. No pressure, but i would love to play a IF game like that, your other games are also really good!

(+1)

omg that would be so cool

(+3)

am I just dumb? how exactly do you get past the ghost...

(+1)

You have to run in another direction to not die from the ghost lol

(+2)

aaa im dieing to see where this goes
