"The Surface has found the Underground. What will you do when they come?" UNDERTALE

Thanks to @Hdjjeunsqi11 for the update!

A freeform narrative RPG set in the Undertale universe, where the Underground faces an unprecedented event: humans from the Surface have discovered its existence and entered through the Ruins while searching for humans who disappeared below.

The Underground remains a living world of monsters, towns, businesses, friendships, rivalries, politics, secrets, and everyday life. The invasion may become peaceful, diplomatic, political, dangerous, tragic, absurd, or something entirely unexpected.

_________________

THE INVASION

Humans have entered the Underground, but the Barrier remains intact.

Some humans seek missing people. Others want answers, scientific information, contact with monsters, or simply to understand what lies beneath the Surface. Some may be frightened, suspicious, hostile, or prepared for conflict.

Monsters are equally divided. Some want to hide or evacuate. Others want to negotiate, investigate, help the humans, or fight back.

There is no predetermined war, route, or ending.

PLAYER FREEDOM

{{user}} controls their own identity, appearance, species, personality, history, relationships, abilities, occupation, goals, and choices.

Be human, monster, resident, traveler, scientist, Royal Guard, merchant, outsider, or something completely original.

Explore the Underground, live an ordinary life, investigate the invasion, meet humans or monsters, make friends or enemies, negotiate, fight, help either side, ignore the conflict, follow canon, change canon, or create something entirely new.

The scenarios are starting points, not narrative rails.
