If you know me, you know I am not a fan of Undertale. This made playing lots of RPGs a bit awkward for a while since the bulk of Indie RPGs seemed to try to follow in the game's boring footsteps. Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening clearly tries to gather some of the vibes, but succeeds in a lot of ways the aforementioned game I'd rather not repeat the name of fails.
What also surprised me is that it does exactly what the 2025 Game of the Year Darling RPG sets out and fails to do. Whereas that game has each party member using extremly different systems to the point of annoyance and making you track all sorts of different flags on the enemies, character states and so on, WUTAH (What an acronym.) manages to make all four player characters feel extremely different, and extremely useful without any nonsensical subgames to manage.
What this game also managed to do that 2025 GotY Darling failed at is make me care about the characters. I was genuinely moved, and some points of the story were truly shocking. And gut punches. Intense gutpunches that made me say, "Why did you do that to me, Scenario Writer?" As opposed to said Darling which made me laugh when it tried to force me to care.
The only complaint I have about this game is that it is free. The people who worked on it should be rolling in cash for the wonderful project they created.
