Apparently it’s the last chapter that is going to be light hearted. I’m going to be sad if that’s the case because the silliness is the only reason I play it

Toby I’m begging you I don’t give a damn about prophecies and missing raindeer I just want to see goofy darkners act like weirdos

    The way Toby talks about this chapter makes me think it’ll be like chapter 3 where there’s very clearly something darker happening with all the goofy stuff and then things start getting real at the end.

    As for the prophecy stuff

      Tone-wise, Chapter 3 had the right amount of silly to dark ratio in my opinion. And for a supposedly ‘not important to the story’ chapter, it fleshed out what darkners are a little more and set up Ralseis lack of self worth thing.

      Plus it gave us Rouxls Kaard with a laser pointer and the worlds most crustiestly animated TV

      The only problem I have with chapter 3 is that the 8-bit sections were kind of boring (but I guess that was the point)

      I loved the rhythm game and the actual boss battle with Tenna was amazing and I’m still surprised that so many quick transitions in a battle were possible with Gamemaker Software

    Played a bunch of chapter 5, around 6 hours so far but I’m not entirely sure how far along it I am. I’m not gonna spoil anything, so I just want to say that I like it a lot so far and that this chapter feels like a queer dream, personally I really like the two color dudes yaoi they have going on.

    EDIT: I’m now getting my ass beat by the secret boss lol so I guess I’m near the end of the chapter.

    Ah, it’s my usual reminder to DL and play the critically acclaimed Undertale

    please no, i don’t care about the meta breaking pointlessly grim lore i just want the silly and heartfelt stuff. it genuinely feels like being taken hostage by teenagers raised in fandom cultures that are only interested in uninspired world building that must be edgy or dark, while also being long and unwieldy so they can fill their enormous free time with debating over every single detail and missing the forest for talking about the leaves on the trees.

    i know instant yells-at-cloud and unc status but i don’t like fandoms perhaps people’s sensibilities as 14 year olds is not the best.
