History VideoGame / UndertaleYellow

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/utyellow_upd.png]]

Set some time after the human-monster war, the story focuses on Clover, a human child and the source of the original game's Yellow Soul. When several humans mysteriously start going missing while travelling to Mt. Ebott, Clover decides to jump into the Underground themself to look for them. Their adventure has both new and familiar faces.

Announced only a few months after the release of the original game, the project started on February 4, 2016 after Toby Fox allowed it to be greenlit. While the full game isn't out, a [[http://gamejolt.com/games/undertale-yellow/136925 demo]] has been made available since March of the same year.

''Undertale Yellow'' is the in-progress fan prequel to ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Starring Clover, a human child and the source of the Yellow Soul seen in Undertale, their adventure has both new and familiar faces. While the full game isn't out, [[http://gamejolt.com/games/undertale-yellow/136925 a demo is available]].

* DeadHatShot: The Game Over screen shows Clover's gun and hat.

* HeelFaceTurn: Like ''Undertale'', you can do this, do something bad, then reset and not do the bad thing in the first place.

* JustifiedSavePoint: The game is set during the time that Flowey possessed the ability to save and load, and unlike Frisk, Clover doesn't possess the Determination to steal it from him. Thankfully, Flowey is willing to create a save file for them, with the sparkling save points being created by Flowey so Clover can call him to save.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The game automatically spoils a few plot points of ''Undertale'' proper, due to being a {{prequel}}. One big one is that not only is saving and loading an InUniverse power, but Flowey possessed it before Frisk did.

* ActionCommands: When attacking, an eye-like meter will appear over the menu, and a bulls eye like circle will run across it. Confirm the attack when the bar is near the middle, and you do more damage. Don't press anything, and you won't attack.

* AdultFear: The plot is kicked off by Clover (possibly a child) jumping in Mt. Ebott. [[spoiler: Also Toriel's reaction when the second puzzle's failure results in Clover falling through the floor]].
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Just like the [[spoiler:99 percent of]] ''Undertale'' Battles.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Flowey. He's seemingly helpful, even saving your progress. However, it's not yet clear if [[spoiler:this is during the time period he was trying to be a good guy or if he's playing you for his own goals.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: With a DoomedProtagonist, the game has a unintentionally depressing atmosphere.

* FunctionalMagic: The monsters attack and life force.
* HeelFaceTurn: Like ''Undertale'' you can do this, do something bad, then reset and not do the bad thing in the first place.

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Asgore]] as ''Undertale'' fans know inadvertently created one, in declaring war on the humans after [[spoiler:Chara's and Asriel's deaths]] and wanting six [=SOULs=] to cross the barrier, all the while unwilling to [[spoiler:do the actual murder. Toriel]] calls him out for this and this ended their relationship.

Thankfully, Flowey is willing to create a save file for them, with the sparkling save points being created by Flowey so Clover can call him to save.

* MagicalAccessory: Unlike Frisk, who changed clothing and weapons, Clover keeps their CoolHat on at all times. Instead they get various accessories that give buffs.

** Dalv inverted is 'Vlad'--a reference to the aforementioned Vlad the Impaler--as well as Alucard, the son of Dracula (debuting in the 1940's film ''Son of Dracula'', and whose name is simply 'Dracula' [[SdrawkcabName spelled backwards]]) and recurring [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse Castlevania]] [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight character.]]

* ShoutOut: Dalv's lightning attacks are highly characteristic of Dracula from early installments of the ''Franchise/Castlevania'' franchise.

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:You do this to Pops in the Genocide run. You don't know the balloon is alive until after you get a "funny" voice, causing MoodWhiplash]]

* AdultFear: The plot is kicked off by Clover (possibly a child) jumping in Mt. Ebott.

* MentalTimeTravel: As in 'Undertale'' proper, this is [[JustifiedSavePoint how saving is explained]]. Unlike ''Undertale'', however, Clover lacked the Determination to hijack it from Flowey (as their virtue is Justice instead), so instead Flowey does it for them.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Just like the [[spoiler:99 percent of]] Undertale Battles.

* BaitAndSwitch: When you meet Flowey, it's similar to your first meeting Flowey in Undertale, but instead he helps you save and progress.
* BittersweetEnding: While not in the demo without the Genocide run, it has to be, for Clover is one of the captured SOULs in Undertale meaning [[DoomedProtagonist they will die]].
* BloodlessCarnage: Like Undertale monsters turn to dust when killed, so no blood is spilled.

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Asgore]] as ''Undertale'' fans know inadvertently created one, in declaring war on the humans after [[spoiler:Chara's and Asriel's deaths]] and wanting six SOULs to cross the barrier, all the while unwilling to [[spoiler:do the actual murder.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Just like the [[spoiler: 99 percent of]] Undertale Battles.

* AmbiguousGender: Subverted. Clover is a girl's name, though it isn't outright stated in the game nor hinted out in her sprite appearance.

* BittersweetEnding: While not in the demo without the Genocide run, it has to be, for Clover is one of the captured souls in Undertale meaning she will die.
* BloodlessCarnage: Like Undertale monsters turn to dust when killed, so no blood is spilled.
* BulletHell: Enemies attack with bullets of varying shapes and patterns. Battles can become hectic, due to the more challenging nature of this game in comparison to Undertale.
* CoolHat: Clover wears one, which is no surprise given it's the item you found of theirs in Undertale proper.
* DoomedByCanon: Given the situation at the start of Undertale, it is not possible that Clover will survive their adventure.
* FallenHero: Clover is this ''regardless'' of previous playthroughs on a Genocide Run, as unlike with Frisk, who's motivations for entering the Underground are ambiguous, Clover's motivations are undoubtedly good and their virtue is Justice.

* HeelFaceTurn: Like Undertale you can do this, do something bad, then reset and don't do the bad thing in the first place.

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Asgore]] as Undertale fans know inadvertently created one, in declaring war on the humans after [[spoiler:Chara and Asriel's deaths]] and wanting six souls to cross the barrier, all the while unwilling to [[spoiler:do the actual murder]]. [[spoiler:Toriel]] calls him out for this and this ended their relationship.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The game automatically spoils a few plot points of Undertale proper, due to being a {{Prequel}}. One big one is that not only is saving and loading an InUniverse power, but Flowey possessed it before Frisk did,

* PersonalityPowers: According to WordOfGod, Clover's Justice has different abilities than Frisk's Determination, though the demo doesn't go into many of them. One difference, however, is that Clover can't save, and thus Flowey does it for you.
* {{Prequel}}: Follows the story of the yellow Soul that came before Frisk.

* BulletHell: Enemies attack with bullets of varying shapes and patterns. Battles with multiple enemies can become hectic.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The game automatically spoils a few plot points of Undertale proper, due to being a {{Prequel}}. One big one is that not only is saving and loading an InUniverse power, but Flowey possessed it before Frisk did, and [[spoiler: Asgore's killing of Humans to break the barrier]].
