Created almost entirely by one moron (me!)
View From Below is a little bit dark, a little bit funny, and has quite a lot to say. It's inspired by games like Earthbound and Undertale, and movies like Donnie Darko and Alice in Wonderland.
This game means a lot to me. I hope it'll mean a lot to you, too.

Horror RPG with turn-based combat, richly interesting storyline about a boy trying to escape hell & beautiful original pixel graphics. Multiple endings to find, puzzles to solve and secrets to unlock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD_Xje4ODcg
gud
At first glance it seems like a undertale rip off while it does heavily borrow motifs from that game I think this one has alot more going for it in terms of gameplay, story, writting and art. the first 3 chapters are quite slow if you can push through the first 2 hours you will be rewarded well. also you do steadily power up by gaining levels I remember my first time playing I got my ass handed to me by a turd hiding in the bushes and this really put me off game only 20 mins in. one final issue i have is this game has some amazing puzzle/mini games but it also has push the cube into the square these puzzles arnt fun and if i wanted to play a flash game i would. this isnt just for undertale fans but for RPG fanatics reminds me of mother 1 & 2. looking forward to this devs future projects this game is a must try. below if you wanted to read was my original review after being defeated by a turd. The game is really well produced it just doesnt fell fun to play. The combat system is repeative and dialog is just depressing and rarely intresting to read. If the game looks good to you I highly recomend trying it out as I only played 1.5 chapters of the game and could not continue further. Its the best undertale clone I have ever had the pleasure of playing and that is not a good thing. (game gets bonus points for the NPC designs there really sinister Its a really good theme that goes well with RPGS) ((but some of the enemy monsters designs are down right hard to look at)).

I haven't finished all of the secrets, but overall the game is pretty good. Pros: Story is great Graphics are vastly better than I expected Music - frequently bopping, sometimes feels a little overplayed if you're in an area fighting too long. Neutral: Combat - has its moments, but can be a bit "samey" at times. Final Boss - *SPOILER IS INCREDIBLY MILD* [spoiler] everything about it is really cool design-wise, and I love how the story plays out INCREDIBLY easy on normal mode - I used one elixir in the entire fight after hitting level 10. Seriously, I didn't even bother dodging after seeing how the first few hits went. [/spoiler] Cons: There's at least one missing fast travel station. I realize that it doesn't quite fit in lore-wise, but the backtracking necessary for some of the secrets was a massive time sink. There's an area where [spoiler] right before Melody's house Rose chases you to try and kill you in a mess of bridges and like cliffy things [/spoiler] and to get back to a thing you can't complete without coming back later in the game took FOREVER, because I had to redo that area every time. The other fast travel point might have been slightly closer, but not by much. [spoiler] Melody is an awesome character who feels vastly too weak for a level 10 who has lived in the Below for multiple years. She spends roughly.....three fights worth of time? in the party and does fairly little in that time. She deserved a bit more of the limelight imo. [/spoiler] As far as any comparison to Undertale, I definitely 100% see it. I never played Undertale, but I watched videos on every. single. little. secret in that game. After seeing this get compared to it, I honestly wanted to try it just so I could actually live through an Undertale-esque world of my own instead of vicariously, like I had with UT. [spoiler] maybe I missed something but why on EARTH can I not go back and kill Peter, and why does he have 800 more health than the final boss *MEGA SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED* who is HIS OWN FREAKING GOD??? [/spoiler] That said, if you're buying this as a sort of Undertale-esque thing, don't. Undertale has much more......cuteness? factor than this game. Enemies cannot generally be spared (there may be one or two exceptions to this), you have to fight, you have to kill, and you have to gain levels. Enemies do not generally have fun quirky interactions. You don't make an ARMY of good friends with individual relationships that you have spent the entire game developing and revisiting, you form close bonds with a couple characters. It's like if in Undertale everyone actually wanted you dead instead of secretly just wanting a hug. That said, the game is still a positive experience, with some nice messages. I may still try to 100% it, because I think it's cool enough to do so, and if I don't it's a lack of time more than a lack of desire.
I wish more people heard about this game. I think people would enjoy it and have fun.
Pretty good game with great music to boot.
O jogo é sensacional, a história te mantém preso a todo momento. Recomendo completamente a qualquer um que queira assistir um jogo unicamente lindo.
I really liked the story and characters! Had a great time playing through the different endings, and I look forward to seeing the next game Jack releases.
Okay, not as good as undertale. too much story.
