I avoided Undertale and Deltarune for so long. I felt I would be completely out of place if I had joined. I gave up because the entirety of the internet bullied me into playing them. I wish I caved in sooner. Just from playing a singular neutral route (because of accidentally killing Toriel-), I cried. The music is beautiful. The story is heartbreaking. I'll for sure play through at least two more times and I …

I first played Undertale eight years ago, and somehow it has never left me. Since then I’ve played a lot of games, but very few have stayed with me the way Undertale has. What started as just another RPG slowly became something I genuinely care about on a personal level. The characters felt real in a way I did not expect, the music still stays in my head years later, and the choices I made actually mattered in a way …

Actually the greatest indie game ever made. I cannot believe it took me 11 years to play this absolute cinema.

Saw this game first back in 2020 then forgot about it. Now I replayed with 0 memory... What can I say about it... This is an absolut masterpiece: Fighting system: 10/10 Different routes/decisions/story: 10/10 Character: 10/10 Humor: 10/10 (still after nearly 12 years) OST: 11/10 (some are so iconic you know them if you havent played undertale) If you haven't played this game you are missing on peak!

positive · AI labelView post →To attempt to review Undertale in 8000 characters or less is to articulate the entirety of Crime and Punishment in a single sound. It’s a fruitless exercise in which I only take part to stroke my own belief that I, like Raskolnikov himself, have some “new word” to say. As I write this I would like nothing more than to shatter my computer and pens and paper and never think about any of this ever again because I’ve been thinking about this game and about everything larger than it for several days…
