Ugh. I never understood why that game was so popular.
I played it in 2016 because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and it just left me cold. It was boring and depressing and I hated the graphics and the gameplay and the plot and the script. The music was ok though, in an 8-bit kind of way.
However, I got the same weird creepy vibe from it that I got from a load of pop musicians who have since started doing weird stuff like drink each other's blood and praise (and in some cases, dress like) Satan, so perhaps this just means my demonometer is functioning normally.
I did notice how the people who liked the game *really* liked it, to a (possibly literally) obsessive degree. In late 2015, I got mildly harassed by a game store 'assistant' for 10 minutes trying to get me to play it and going on about how good it was and then I had to lie that I was going to spend the credit voucher I'd just bought on Undertale and not the game I actually wanted. I then had to avoid the shop afterwards in case he asked me what I thought if it.
Also, I've said it before, but after I started banishing, I lost all interest in video games, which I'd been playing for almost *20 years* at that point. That must say something about them.
