Undertale Obsession

Christmas countdown: 4 days!

Good news! I've sorted out everything for Christmas - presents have been wrapped, cards are written, tree up, decorations scattered - come at me, Christmas!


Hiya!

I spent the whole day yesterday watching Jacksepticeye play Undertale, an absolutely amazing indie RPG. They're one-hour long videos, and I'd watched a few episodes before, but I basically binged through the rest of it in seven hours. Seven hours non-stop.

Undertale is sooooo good! It's so easy to become in love with the characters and the jokes are hilarious. There's a certain charm in the little pixelated characters with their signature sound effects and font that draws you in and forms a bond with you (I mean, we all ship Alphyne now, don't we?).

Take Undyne, the strongest, bravest, coolest of them all (and my favourite character). It's hard not to like her, she's got the sass and the attitude to go right along with her impressive strength and kindness. She also reminds me of Chloe Price from Life is Strange in a way, she's tough and hard to get through to, but once she's your friend she'll fight for you all the way.

And it's not just the characters that are amazing, there are all these secrets if you go back, or do something again. The game as a whole is so cleverly thought out, and even though I myself haven't played it, it's one of my favourite games.

I spent at least 45 minutes bawling my eyes out (Jacksepticeye even shed a tear or two) at one point, though grinning like the Chesire Cat soon after. I need to play it myself!

Undertale is the best.


I love you
