Years ago, while I was browsing my Tumblr feed, I happened accross Samael's post of a Kickstarter for a little indie game called Undertale. I never heard of it before and it finished it's backing some weeks ago. Intrigued, I downloaded the demo of it. And it was nothing like i had ever played before. I was so invested into this small piece of game, that i made fan art of Toriel. Months pass, and the game comes out on Steam officially. I immiediety pick up the game, and played it to its completion. Undertale rocked me to the core. No other game put me in a fit of tears. Nothing made me feel so warm and hopeful inside. It was a powerful game and I only continued to show love for it. Then, one day, I figured I should update that Tori pic I did. A couple of months later, I found myself doing more Tori art, until I decided to try my hand at an Ask series. Undertale, to me, wasnt just a game. It was an experience. Seeing it grow from a niche fanbase to being played by some of my favorite personalities online, I couldnt have been more happy. Toby Fox created something special that people will remember for years to come. And to celebrate it's 2nd Anniversary, I decided to do this piece. Thank you Toby.

Undertale has had such a massive influence on me, and I'm not one to let games or media get to me. That game did something different, and for whatever reason, is the only game to date that I felt genuine emotion from blinding anger to actual tear wrenching moments.
And hell, its been 2 years already?! Maybe I should get around to that Genocide run...Or maybe another Pacifist. I don't have it in me to kill all these characters!

It says a lot about how Undertale can influence human emotion when even Yoko Taro (the mind behind the Drakengard/Nier series and who is known for being able to emotionally screw with his playerbase with his unusual stories) was so fascinated by what he heard of the game that he publicly asked for a Japanese translation of the game so he could play it and, when it was released, was a huge fan of it.
Undertale is definitely one of those classics that only happens once in a few years (or even in a decade, as I don't recall anything within the past ten years that made me THIS invested in the world and characters, not even Crisis Core which I felt really redeemed a lot of FF7 characters) and I'm so happy it exists
