Hey people!
I played Undertale about a year after release, but accidentally did not do a pacifist run, resulting in me not being able to get the "true" ending without fully playing the game from start again. I left it there, pretty happy with my experience.
A month ago I decided to give it another go, mainly because of an interest in the earthbound series and also because I might try out Deltarune and wanted to be up to speed.
This game is just so... nice. The subjects, the insecurities that are mentioned, the hopefulness, the acceptance of everyone that just permeates throughout the whole work, it's astounding. The characters are all so imperfect and charming in their own way. I've been going through a tough period myself and a lot of the messages about acceptance of who you are and connection with people you love just really hit home.
I know this game is already highly regarded and I'm saying nothing new here, but I just wanted to share what it did for me and that it really, really holds up.
Definitely play Deltarune. I like Undertale but Deltarune, especially chapter 2, was insanely good for being free.
Can you play the first two chapters without ending at a cliffhanger? Have been thinking if I should wait for all of it to release or play the free chapters now.
Up to you, though from the last info we got it seems like things are moving along nicely development wise. The full game should be done by later next year I feel.
