This is a cry for help........[My thoughts on Undertale]

‘All Undertale Characters designed by Mauro’

I have been familiar with Toby Fox’s Undertale for a long time now, and I am sure all of you reading this blog have too. If you have ever seen skeleton puns, the names Frisk and Chara thrown around or a glowing blue eye, you have come in contact with Undertale references. Since its release in 2015, the internet went completely insane. It changed the way that the public saw video games and indie gaming. The main feature I that instead of killing the enemies in front of you, it is encouraged to befriend them. It encourages peace, problem-solving and strong bonds. All of the Karens of the world are quaking because this is one video game that will definitely not cause your children to be violent.

This year I finally decided to actually play the game for myself. What I didn’t realize is what I was getting myself into. Yes, I already knew the whole story, but it’s different when it is you who is actually in charge.

Pacifist - The sentimentality drove me to tears on several occasions. Going on a virtual date with Papyrus was the best date of my life (yeah I know that’s super sad also a huge bash at my ex lmao) I love it. I am super soft and getting the ending that filled everyone with love and joy warmed my little ol’ heart. Doing all the puzzles and petting some dogs made me feel as if I have fulfilled my life’s purpose

My therapist: it’s just a gif it can’t make you cry.

Genocide - Bro………Listen I did the route wrong twice so I had to kill Papyrus 3 times and honestly, maybe I’m not worthy of life.

Seriously though this route is HARD. You have to look for every single monster and kill them and it takes so much time. I was in class sobbing over the death of fictional characters (my friends can testify)

At the time of writing this, I am stuck on the Undyne fight and am unsure if I will ever beat it.

*Update it is a month later and I ended up being swamped by midterm so I have given up it’s unbeatable

Should I play Undertale?

That depends on your emotional pain threshold. It is definatly my favorite game and I hope to play it many more times in the future. The characters are so lovable I would die for the man. I recommend 10/10
