IF - Horrortale
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.
The romance (OPTIONAL - platonic / friendship route is available):
- MAJOR - Sans (M)
- ". . ."
- A silent huntsman with an intense stare and a dark sense of humor.
- He's. . . big.
- MAJOR - Papyrus (M)
- "Do You Like My Spaghetti?"
- A tall chef with a crooked smile.
- He's oddly remorseful.
- MAJOR - Ghost (M)
- "Running won't save you."
- An unrelenting entity that won't stop hunting 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.

lesser dog was a good boy! 🤍🐕🤍
LESSER DOG NOO BABY YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD BOY.
I just realised the undertale references 😭
Hey, does the game end in waterfall? I see people talking about stuff I haven't seen but there isn't a link to go forward.
Same here. Story’s only developed up to that point, there’re still more updates to be made.
why would you even DO this to me (i'm sobbing bc undertale already had me emotionally attached to these characters and i want to save everyone so bad) i hate you (your writing is so heartwrenching and really fits this awesome dystopia) what is WRONG with you (keep going please i love the direction this is taking and am eagerly awaiting more)
LMAO the character creation is so funny to me! What's your blood type? Your mother's maiden name? Your social security number? The three digits on the back of your credit card?
Can you have children? LIKE YES but why do you need that information???? IS SANS GOING TO IMPREGNATE ME????????
I was not expecting the trombone.
Am I the only one that ends with the "Agree to go with Papyrus"? Like, in Snowdin after a small talk with Flowey, I just ended with the Death loop end? Am I the only one?? Please tell me!! 😭
its because of your clothing, you need to restart and pcik soemthing that isnt shorts, sweatpants or ripped jeans or cargos would do fine, but not shorts, skirts or capris.
thanx for replying so much, I will try!
kk! good luck! :D
I'm literally crying because I couldn't save lesser dog
just finished lesser dog. currently curled on the floor and weeping. i will remain in this position for two months to recover. thank you very much.
It’s so sad we couldn’t save lesser dog😭😭
AHHHH! i love ur stuff so much but the feels!!! stop making me cry ;'[
Hi! I have a quick question, I recently was introduced to your work, and I've been playing through this game. I wanted to ask if exiting the Waterfall and entering Hotlands is all the work that is available. I know it does not have a walkthrough yet, but from viewing the Devlog notes I can assume that it extends further than that. However I keep getting stuck at the Savepoint that appears right after you exit the Waterfall. There is no message indicating there is nothing after that point, so I wonder if it's a glitch or bug?
Because that’s the lastest updated storyline. We have to wait for another update from Creator since this series remain in development and not entirely finished, yet.
Maybe few updates again to make this series completed, the main story one
thank you!
HELLL YEA UPDATE!!!
Isso é tão interessante :o Adorei ♡
THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU, I needed more of these 😭💞
PLS I MISSED THESE SO MUCH. HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE :DD
I'M SO EXCITEDLET'SGOOOOOOO
How do I get pass the dog, I'm stuck 😭 Edit: NM
author has come back to feed us great stories :DDD
I NEVER CLICKED ON A NOTIFICATION SO FAST ♡＾▽＾♡
Thank you!! Hope you enjoy the update.
WE ARE SO BACK!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
NEW UPDATE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
super excited for the next update! delicious soup like always, I also hope you’re doing well!! ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
My game gets stuck on the autopsy table, any tips on a fix?
tbh, i would LOVE a reapertale game, especially made by you, your writing style and the way you make games is amazing :D
A wonderful game! It will be exciting to see the next chapter. But I feel that something could change, and it is the issue of customizing the character, i mean, every time we enter a new area,there may be an option to change the clothes or leave them like this, and I say this because if anyone enters Snowdin, They dies from not being well dressed and it is a bit tiring to do everything again. But other thing than that, all good! :D
This is so great. I can't wait for the next chapter (Congrats btw!)
So far, I love the game. I love that we can customize our characters. Congratulations on your kid, btw. Get as much time as you need for yourself and your baby. This was really entertaining. Keep up the good work :).
The game is really nice! one thing i didn't really liked tho is that certain things that i thought was for character customization actually have a impact on the game, i have to re-do the whole game because in chapter 2, if you're not dressed warmly you'll automatically die, i would have liked to know about it before starting
Congrats on your child Darkpetal! Take as much time as you need to bond and care for your little bundle of joy!
OMG i love this so so much. for my swearing option thingy (?) i chose absolutely not and its THE FUNNIEST THING OMG. plus I'm obsessed w the group chat at the beginning lol. and something about THE TEXT WHEN YOU'RE IN THE PAPYRUS ENCOUNTER AKFHUHGEUFGAIHLE SO GOOD

I dunno if its already born, but congradulations on the baby!
Ah, and if it isnt a problem, i would like to ask Flowey about Toriel, and about the skeleton family too. Does he knows about Gaster?
