* The whole story. '''Nonstop'''. Taking place ''seven years'' after the events of ''Undertale'', the entire Underground has gone to absolute hell from there, with the CORE dying and Undyne, the new Queen, being unable to stop it. Consequentially, the monsters start starving to death because their magic food is fading away from the core's death. The monster children start dying first and the adult monsters start losing their minds, killing and/or eating each other. In the case of Snowdin, however, after a currently unknown altercation between Sans and Undyne which resulted in part of Sans' skull getting smashed open, Snowdin has been eating any human children they come across to fight off starvation and to spite Undyne, who just wants the SOULS to be harvested.
** One particular monster that got it the worst was Horrortale Grillby. After the CORE died, the magic that kept his body from burning itself started fading, leading to his soul being in perpetual agony as he feels himself burning alive constantly but cannot die. In one particular chilling scene in the past, right when everything starts going to hell, he grabs Sans suddenly out of nowhere after a long night in his bar and starts pleading for him to help him as his face starts melting and he is screaming his head off in agony. Remember, he's been living like this for ''8 years''.
** The story's main protagonist, Aliza, has a soul of fear instead of determination (although it's implied she has a little bit of determination). This means that instead of being able to manually save, her soul autosaves right before she dies, so not only will she remember how painful or horrifying the death was, but she will have to re-experience the terror right before she died. She also seems to get scars from her previous horrible deaths. Friendly reminder that Aliza is 11.
* A flashback reveals just what happened between Sans and Undyne: knowing how desperate the latter had become, Alphys convinced her to try extracting Sans' eye to harvest its magic. It seemed to [[HopeSpot work at first...]] but then Sans somehow comes back and not only destroys the CORE, but personally lobotomized Alphys just to screw with Undyne, making it [[RevengeBeforeReason practically impossible]] for the Underground to survive without killing humans.
** Prior to Sans destroying the CORE, he witnesses a monster teenager (the purple high-schooler from Hotland) turn to dust right in front of him, and we get a ''horrifyingly'' detailed look at their disintegrating face before they die of starvation. Seeing this is what convinces him to propose his plan to repair the CORE, and unfortunately, is what leads to things going downhill.
