It's essentially just a rather generic isekai story with the whole 'morality' part being the centerpiece of any substance. I liked Undertale's gameplay more, though I didn't find the character and world aspect to be that interesting. I personally hated playing through EarthBound even if I found the world design and a lot of the visuals to be phenomenal, I liked MOTHER 3 more because it was more refined in terms of gameplay even if it came at the cost of significantly dialing down the crazier themes EarthBound ran with making it a more down to earth Nature VS Industry story as the central aspect which a lot of JRPGs like running into the ground. It's an offshoot of EarthBound but it went into a different direction compared to MOTHER 3 and well, Undertale.Įarthbound was this highly experimental and novel thing that didn't feel like your traditional RPG, leaning more to be this expectation shattering artsy thing (with it's terrible sales being a result of their pretentious anti-advertising where it literally advertised as 'this game stinks')

Since it is free on Steam you can just simply download that and don't worry about the versions thing. There's also Yume Nikki (which has a version on Steam though you could argue for hours with a die hard fan if that is as good).
