I don't know the middle one, but I once read an essay arguing that Undertale made OFF obsolete, and now that Undertale exists, there's no reason to play OFF. I actually think OFF is better than Undertale!

The middle one is called OneShot!

And why would Undertale make OFF obsolete? I don't see the connection at all.

I managed to dig it up. It turns out I misremembered--the argument was that even though OFF seems obsolete, there's still value in it because it's "Brechtian" and it makes you think about the underlying structure of games. I still think it's doing OFF a disservice: https://vraikaiser.com/2015/12/14/the-value-of-off-after-undertale/

Eh, I found OFF severely unpolished and nonsensical a lot of the time. There's a lot of build-up but there's not really much pay-off for me. Undertale felt more polished with a much tighter plot.

Off topic, I've always been somewhat interested in OFF, but the concept and plot seem to be inherently super depressing so idk if I'll ever get around to playing it. :/

Wgich game is the middle one? I have to admit that I got to know OFF from Undertale crossover fanart. That being said, I do agree that the tones of both games are vastly different while the mashup.possibilities are interesting. I suppose they both break the fourth wall and are meta to some extent?

The middle one is OneShot. The only thing it really has in common with the others is yes, the meta and the fourth wall breaking. Though it does said fourth wall breaking differently than Undertale does.

Basically you the player are referred to as the god of the game's world, and it's up to you to guide Niko (the kid with the cat ears) to restore the world's sun. It ends up being a bit more complicated than just that...

I liked OneShot more than Undertale, it's overall a quieter game and not fuckin filled with annoying memes for characters. The soundtrack is also amazeballs, if you get the game on steam, buy the OST too.
