This was definitely one of my first story games, I think I played it in 2015 when I was ten. I'm surprised I forgot to add it when I made this account. I've replayed it so many times that I don't think I'll touch it again, but it's an important part of me.

My cashier at the grocery store had this dialog box tattooed on her arm. enter image description here

And that is SO AWESOME. I think I embarrassed her by talking about it.

Being an Earthbound fan this is right up my alley. The adventure itself is very fun and the characters are quirky and silly. Papyrus is definitely my favourite. The combat is a bit odd but works. I love the theme of the different areas and they all flow together very well.

Been planning on playing this for a while now. Wanted to ask the community if it's worth purchasing (which I think I know the answer to). Already bopping to Spear Of Justice so if the music is that good I'll prob play it. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. I just thought it was kinda boring. 🤫🤷🏽‍♀️ I did laugh a lot at the beginning with Sans and Papyrus but then everyone was quirky.

Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. I just thought it was kinda boring. 🤫🤷🏽‍♀️ I did laugh a lot at the beginning with Sans and Papyrus but then everyone was quirky. Imo if EVERY character is quirky then it becomes stale. Also the puzzles were usually pointles, but I did like the concept of the pacifist solution to fights. Idk I lost interest around The Waterfall area and dropped it after the halfway save point at The Core 'cuz that's where I got the final trophy.

Just finished neutral run before going into the "true pacifist" ending. I still cried. God, this game...

Okay, after over two years away, I am determined to beat this game today. The downside is I forgot everything about this stupid fight so I'm starting from scratch again. Here we go!

Good one Having a very pleasant replay. Still very cute. Love all the flavor text by checking that I didn't do when I played it the first time. There's some really good jokes in there.

Toriel is still ADORABLE and still MAKES ME SAD The music is still FANTASTIC and still MAKES ME SAD

I love seeing Sans and Papyrus just look …

I love seeing Sans and Papyrus just look back and forth over and over again only to confuse a rock with a human lol

One thing that was very satisfying and beautiful about Undertale was that you can slaughter and torture all the terrible creatures you encounter in this game and take vengence for them annoying you continuosly over the course of the game. It's absolutely satisfying to see them suffer and I was very happy to see them all dead in the end.

Undertale taught me something: if people annoy me, I am merciless + Violence in video games is absolutely necessary.
