Long post. Vague spoilers for Ib under the cut. Also this plot is iffy as all hell, Iām an easily pleased person.
Without sugar-coating it, itās basically the events of Ib but twisted a bit to match Undertale vaguely. Iām not trying to pawn this off as original in anyyyy way, no worries.
Okay so parralels and basics summed up:
Itās a mix of Ib and Undertale, mostly Ib. The museum is the setting.
Decent knowledge of the first game would be necessary, not tons though. Ib is super short, at least.
Honestly, itās just the events of Ib but with a twist. Iām garbage.
The environment is more hostile than UT, thatās a given. The fake museum is still dangerous and full of puzzles/traps to navigate.
The āexchange rateā is wildly different. Rather than one human = one painting itās one human = a ton of the paintings. This is to make up for the fact thereās likely only gonna be a single human involved rather than two.
^ The human doesnāt have to be Frisk. At all. But itād be preferable if itās not somebody with superhuman powers ān stuff. Just an average buddy.
Stuff I havenāt quite thought through yet:
Character placement. The human is easy, theyāll start off nearly the same as Ib does. The paintings are a bit more tricky. I know where Flowey would potentially go though.
Which characters are āsafeā and which are hostile. Though most will probably start off as at least a little hostile anyways? But some murderous ones are needed and Iām just here like āah shitā.
Actual plot direction. Since it depends on the human aspect again. If this ever happened yāall would need to discuss that with eachother.
( ^ You never know when somebody has irl stuff to do. Yāknow the rules, no yellinā at folk if they do have to hop off or take a while. Itās just for fun! )
2/3 x accompanying or opposing monsters/paintings. ( Or one of each. Again, the nerds pulling this off would need some discussion. )
Optional - A ādungeon masterā kind of player. This probably sounds boring to play as but itās what Iād grab here given the choice. *
* Basically, inbetween the characters posts you get to set the scene a bit more, and start trouble or other events. This gives you the option of playing every other character/NPC you want to do so. Be devious.
DETAILED STUFF. ISH. AS IF THIS POST WASNāT LONG ENOUGH.
The museum is still the same deal but a teeny-tiny bit less intense. Thereās still puzzles, still some really dangerous traps. Thereās no monsters like in UT, thatās where the living painting stuff comes in.
Ā Ā The deal with the paintings is still the same, too: They want out and into the real world.
BUT. Anybody here whoās actually played Ib will know you basically have to sacrifice one real person to let any of the fake ones out. Thereās a few ways this can go. Again, if this were to even remotely happen, somehow; discussion is key.
The first few plot options that come to mind are these, because Iām a dirty rotten ālil thief. Thereās probably better stuff to pull off, but Iām drawing a bit of a blank.
Human befriends everybody in the fake museum and weeps because they have to go home to their real fam. *snrk*
Human tries to ignore the paintings and just runs the heck outta there.
Human stays behind by themselves in the empty museum, to let the fake inhabitants leave.
^ Or they stay behind and hope some of the things stay with them, but thatād probably be the trickiest bc the paintings always want out. Gotta Befriend āEm All.
Bonus - The fake mother at the end could potentially be a good bit of angst rather than a poor last minute pull attempt jfc.
Iāve thought out a bit more but this post is already really long wHEEZES HARDER.
TL;DR: The mun is mash-up loving garbage Iām so sorry.
