zarla's encouragement, I've played Undertale! Undertale is a short and interesting retro-style indie RPG that it's probably best to go into unspoiled, but obviously nobody's actually going to buy a game knowing absolutely nothing about it, so here's the post by zarla that first caught my attention. The other thing I'm going to tell you is that I got friendzoned by a skeleton and it was great.
And now I'm going to talk in more spoilery detail about this game! I reached the neutral ending without actually killing anything, then reloaded and did the sidequests required to get the true pacifist ending. I haven't done a kill-everything run (and I'm not planning to), but I do talk about it under the cut.
( Thoughts on Undertale. )
If you're intrigued, the site is here and there's a free demo, which I played before deciding to buy the entire game. I'd definitely recommend trying the demo rather than buying the game entirely unseen; Undertale has clever ideas and charming characters and great music, and the battle system's like nothing I've seen in an RPG before, but I don't know if it's something everyone would enjoy. And there's something a bit unsettling about it, even on a pacifist route.
