Underrail

The game is inspired by Fallout, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights and System Shock 2, according to the devs.

Official site.

Ya, this is rather interesting game that nobody comments here on for some reason.

This looks really cool. I'll keep an eye on it and maybe pick it up once it gets out of alpha.

Well, hey, I'm apparently the only person here whose played Inquisitor, so. . .

( which, btw, I have never figured out how to link to the trope page of. . . )

Check mark up help :P {{Word}}

Also, I've tried out inquisitor. Seems interesting but I haven't had enough time to get to frustratingly hard parts that people who have played it complain about.

I've tried that, and a lot of other configurations. Problem is, they either don't work or take me to the Tabletop Game Inquisitor.

Inquisitor?

Tried to play the demo, but it completely failed to work. I hit start new game and it totally freezes. :I

THANK YOU! I for the life of me couldn't figure out where to place the curly brackets.

So what's the game about? o.o

Underrail or Inquisitor? :p

No love for Underrail here on the fora? The game is almost finished, and what's currently there in the early access version blows many finished products clean out of the water. It both looks and feels like a game from almost 20 years ago, but I don't think that's a bad thing, considering it draws heavily from Fallout and Jagged Alliance 2.

Well I haven't heard of it yet, and if I didn't look at details I might have mistaken it as a parody of Undertale...

Yeah, its older game, but that happens nowadays xD

Anyway, I haven't played it much because its in EA and crpg aren't really good fit for EA for obvious reasons <_<

I seriously thought that this was someone making a new Undertale thread despite not only not knowing one existed, but also spelt the name very wrong.

Even if this came first, they might want to consider changing the name to stand out more.

The in-game universe itself is called The Underrail, a massive subterranean railroad complex kinda similar to Metro 2033, but more high-techy. There's no real reason to change the name, considering the primary target audience (Codexers) doesn't even care about Undertale.

Same.

^^You sure target audience is codexers instead of just rpg fans?

I mean if it was codexers, shouldn't game be so toxic it'd be taken off store for being offensive? :P

It would probably be helpful to change the title of this thread to something more descriptive.

To me this seems kind of like Sunless Sea but on rails instead of a boat

To me it seems like Fallout but underground

Sure you're not mistaking this for A House of many Doors ? Underrail is absolutely nothing other than a mechanical hybrid of Fallout and Jagged Alliance 2. And I mean that very much literally. The game i.a. verbatim snags the square tile-based lighting, fire- and gas spread mechanics from J.A. 2, and the underlying RPG ruleset is strongly inspired by Fallout's SPECIAL system (and actually improving it strongly, in my opinion).

Ah, right, that may be it xD

After putting roughly 60 hours into the game, I still have seen only a small fraction of what it has to offer. What impresses me the most is that, unlike e.g. Fallout or Arcanum, there is no simple, abstract overworld map that fills the space between hubs and dungeons with generic one-screen locations. The entire game world is a massive, three-dimensional (locations are interconnected both horizontally and vertically) maze of cave systems, railroad and subway tunnels, settlements, industrial facilities, et cetera. There is no automap, by the way - players get a compass, and that's it (albeit the final version will probably add at least a layout of the metro system). If you get lost, you usually find a river or train tracks nearby that eventually lead you to the next landmark. Fast travel is also restricted to commuting between hub areas via train or ferry. Unlocking shortcuts between locations via clearing debris with TNT charges also plays a major role in progressing.
