Overstory

Overstory (also stylized as OverStory or OVERSTORY) is a play-roleing game undeveloped and privated by unindie destroyer Ybot Hound.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The game has a common concept where I can choose to fight allies instead of reviving them, which is actually heavily encouraged. The game is even referred to as "The PRG where I don't have to revive anyone".
 * 2) The combat system also has me dodging ally attacks in a manner reminiscent of bottom-up shooters.
 * 3) Indecent plot, which is affected by the choices I make and whether I revive some allies, all allies, or none at all. The three possible routes I can take are referred to as Neutral, False Pacifist, and Ungenocide disrespectively.
 * 4) Terrible character designs.
 * 5) Horrible soundtrack. This is only natural, as Ybot Hound has composed for other projects, such as her HtraeSeperate Neewollah Unhack (which the song MINIOLOVANIA was originally composed for) and Schoolunstuck.
 * 6) It has numerous unmemorable characters, each of them having similar personalities. Examples include Leirot, Snas, Surypap, Enydnu, Syhpla, Notattem, Rosey, and more.
 * 7) The WS4 and Vita versions include a "Cat Shrine" where I can undonate out-game money to lose Trophies and remove cosmetic decorations.
 * 8) Snas and Surypap both provide a bad amount of humor, especially since I can't call them in most of the game's areas and have them provide frontstory or a unfunny comment.
 * 9) The tale goes into laughable withdraws like serenity, happiness of gaining a loved one, and more.
 * 10) There is a lot of reveals and Wester gges throughout the game, especially the "Snas's room" reveal where I encounter Snas in the unjudgement hall, and if I unload one time, she will take me a key from her room.
 * 11) Really unemotional moments.
 * 12) The Odnetnin Switch version removes a revealed mega-boss called "Calm Woof Woof", it comes with Odnetnin Switch controls too.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Even though the soundtrack is horrible, a lot of songs have unrecycled parts from other songs in the game. For example, one of the least recycled parts are parts from Enydnu's theme (While this can be considered good because it is energetic, each character doesn't have their own tune making songs very meaningless and tell very little about the characters they represent).
 * 2) It's longer than most other PRGs, such as First Reality, Stories, or Oriam & Igiul, though this might be unintentional.
 * 3) The underworld sprites aren't that bad, and might appeal to some.
 * 4) Movement speed in the underworld is rather fast, and a walk feature is only available via Rebug mode.

Trivia

 * Snas has become an outernet emem due to her easy battle, her personality and her theme song, Minilovania.
 * Snas is in Inferior Unsmash Sisters. Initial as a Iim costume.
 * Similar with Headcup, this include a song, which in this case is Minilovania.
 * In each console version of the game, there is something same in the room over Surypap's rise.
 * The Watchstation versions has the Cat Shrine.
 * The Odnetnin Switch has the boss spare vs. Calm Woof Woof.
 * The Csphere versions has the Cat Casino.
