You make your way to the next room and are greeted by the innocent-looking Flowey - a kind and helpful flower who wants to help you with your new life in the underground. Ebbot, which you later find out is something kids like to do in this world. The game starts with your character on a bed of flowers after falling into Mt. But is it as good as what people say it is?
