Created almost entirely by one moron (me!)
View From Below is a little bit dark, a little bit funny, and has quite a lot to say. It's inspired by games like Earthbound and Undertale, and movies like Donnie Darko and Alice in Wonderland.
This game means a lot to me. I hope it'll mean a lot to you, too.
