The rest of Chapter 2, Aliza in Waterfall, will be released as a fully playable webgame instead of a comic. I understand this is quite different than what's been shown here on Patreon, but the truth is, Aliza's adventure actually comes to me much more clearly as a game for this chapter than a comic series.
All of Chapter 2, Book II can be read here, but as of today, it is no longer cannon. It is a "rough draft" for what is truly meant to happen. Truth be told, the comic pages for Chapter 2 felt a little forced, and were quite a struggle to complete (I still adored doing it and learned a lot from the process). But back then, with little time and a fresh injury to recovery from, I had no other way to tell the story.
But now, amazingly, I have found the means to re-visit Horrortale as the game I had always envisioned it to be. You might remember what I mean; as in this popular mini web-game where Aliza ventures through Snowdin (you can try playing the flash game here) Most of my fans discovered me through that very webgame, and I feel it is time to re-attempt and answer the many, many calls to release another chapter in this medium.
So for those who have already read Chapter 2, what is the ultimate story? This chapter is still somewhat true to my Horrortale AU headcannon; Aliza has no real friends, she was sent to retrieve a bouncy ball near the pit of the Underworld, and she simply slipped in. But from there, I ask you to consider the rest of the Chapter 2 comic to be a rough-draft to what is TRULY about to happen.
Don't worry. Sans is still around ;)
As I busily work on this webgame, a future update will be released September 1st. I aim to complete this project completely by the month of October.
I cannot thank you all enough for your interest and patience in the telling of this story. One final disclaimer; everything you see here, the art, the music, the comic, and the game, is all done by this single person. Me. If the game fails for whatever reason, I will absolutely return to telling the story in comic form ASAP.
Another big thank-you for your patience on this wild ride. Please feel free to post clarifying questions here or send me personal messages. Pie Patrons will see a few more sneak-peak screenshots in detail plus some of Aliza's animations.
