Devlog - 11-11-2023 Roadmap & Walkthrough

IF - Horrortale
A browser game made in HTML5


In this update, you can:

  • S n o w 
  • Die. This is becoming your new normal. You aren’t sure how you feel about that. 
  • Pick your route.
  • Shimmy out of a window.
  • Save a life. 

Also:

  • Added two more secret endings. One is exclusive in chapter one, and the other will be available in all chapters.
  • Fixed minor bugs
  • Amended typos
  • I have added a light mode
  • I have also added step-by-step instructions & screenshots on how to access the settings / saves on desktop & mobile.

Important Notes: 

  • Recommend to start a fresh save file. 
  • To romance Reaper!Sans, you must be bold. If you pick shy choices while romancing someone else, it will reset his romance counter to 0. 
  • SPOILER for chapter 2: If you are not dressed warm enough, you will be stuck in a death loop of hypothermia. 


Walkthrough for Chapter 2, Snowdin:

  • ENTER: SNOWDIN
  • For Flowey Romance: You shyly thank Flowey for his help. You fidget while you do. ❤︎ / You enthusiastically thank Flowey for his help. You tell him you're eager to repay the favor. ❤︎
  • ELSE
  • You sincerely thank Flowey for his help.
  • You ponder further on the nature of your ability.
  • You step off the stone doorway, and take your first step into the snow.
  • Follow through the passages. If you are still on the good ending when you die from your first bear trap, you’ll meet another SOUL who thanks you for saving Toriel. 
  • For Reaper Romance: You smile and call that one a real knee-slapper. ❤︎
  • ELSE
  • You flatly tell him you're trying to become a pirate. / Yeah, no. Try Again
  • Once alive again. . . 
  • For Reaper Romance: You'll wing it.
  • ELSE
  • Time to see if you can yank off one of those branches. You could poke it under the snow to try and find the traps.
  • If pursuing Reaper, you will die again by winging it. Use this chance to flirt with him (call yourself the “mourning” type) but do NOT accept his embrace as he WILL murder you. 
  • Continuing your journey, you’ll realize you’re being watched.
  • For Trapper Romance: Don't move. ❤︎
  • ELSE
  • Run. Run. Run. Run. RUN. RUN.
  • Continue through the game. Path splits depending on romance & body type, you’ll have more choices again once Papyrus comes in. 
  • NOTE: If pursuing romance, do NOT resist and do NOT scream.
  • Once Papyrus comes in, if you’ve followed all the steps for the right romance you’ll have the option of choosing your route here. 
  • You tell him it was worth the trip to meet him. ❤︎ = Papyrus Romance.
  • You tell him it was worth the trip to meet that other skeleton. ❤︎ = Sans / Trapper romance.
  • You tell him it was worth the trip to meet death. ❤︎ = Reaper Romance.
  • You tell him it was worth the trip to get a glimpse of a handsome ghost. ❤︎ = Wingding Romance.
  • You tell him it was worth the trip to meet a flower. ❤︎ = Flowey Romance. 
  • You tell him it was worth a trip to see so many cute skeleton monsters. ❤︎ =  Harem Romance with Horror!Sans, Horror!Papyrus, and Horror!Wingding.
  • You tell him it was worth the trip to meet the trapper and death. ❤︎ = Poly Romance with Reaper & Trapper Sans.
  • The other two options are for no romance / friendship / secret route. 
  • Continue through the game.
  • When you die again you’ll have a choice if you are pursuing either Reaper and Trapper Sans at the same time. .
  • To stay on Reaper only route: You reassure Sans the Reaper he’s the only Sans for you. ❤︎
  • To stay on Trapper only route: You give a sheepish smile. You really like the other Sans. ❤︎
  • To pursue both: You reassure him you’re only interested in Sans. ❤︎
  • Escape with Flowey
  • Papyrus will notice your escape and try to stop you. 
  • You will always die in the beginning of his fight, just keep pressing through until the true fight actually starts (he will pull out your SOUL).
  • This is a long fight where you must spare Papyrus 14 times. You may use CHECK at each round with no risk to assess his mental state. 
  • If romancing Papyrus, flirt with him on the first round.
  • In general. . . 
  • If the ground rumbles: blue bone attack. Do not move.
  • If the ground shakes: orange bone attack. Move.
  • If he points at you / extends his hand: bullet. Duck. 
  • Don’t stress too much if you die. 
  • Papyrus will eventually collapse from magical exhaustion.
  • MERCY: Save Papyrus
