i think you kinda hit my feelings on the game right on the head? like its a good game and i love it but its also irritating(in a good way) just because no matter what theories i see it always feels like there’s something we’re missing but at the same time is right there..? the entire atmosphere of the game is like that- kinda uneasy, even though we’re enjoying obviously? ahhh! srry for the ramble in your inbox!

Yes, I totally agree!! Something that really bugs me especially is that the happy ending (minus the last like 20 seconds, obviously) feels so forced. It’s the True Pacifist ending, but minus all of the thought and care that went into achieving it in Undertale. It also feels quite premature since this is only supposed to be chapter one.

I think the game as a whole has a very strong undercurrent of a happy exterior with a very dark interior. Something about it is deeply unsettling, but you can never quite pin down what it is.
