      OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game’s fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

            Hmm, would have thought the reputation preceded the community a bit more. All the more reason for people to play Deltarune, out now on Steam.

                Spiritual successor/sequel, kinda, AFAIK. You would definitely get a lot more out of it if you played Undertale first. But, if the first two chapters are anything to go by, all of the things originally from Undertale have been totally repurposed. For instance, quite a few NPCs from Undertale show up with the same characterization but no memory of the world and events in Undertale.

                Though, knowing Toby Fox, there’s either a huge twist or something super meta tying the worlds together at the end. I should note I haven’t finished it yet.

                  Sounds like it’ll be worth playing the first, then. I’ll do that! Thanks for the info.

                    No problem, friend! I hope you enjoy yourself!

                    Due to being made by such a small team (Toby Fox made most of the game himself, to my knowledge), Undertale has a really unique creative vision. It’s definitely Earthbound-inspired, but there’s nothing like the music, art, and humor of Undertale. It’s a game for the ages for sure.
