A cursory Google search of “ Undertale fans toxic” will bring up a wide variety of articles and videos on the problem. We are long past the point when Undertale was at the center of the gaming zeitgeist, but at the height of its popularity, some fans on the internet took their obsession with it way too far. But every time I approached the possibility of popping the game into my Switch, I’d have people giving me a reason not to. I’ve known since before it released it was an RPG inspired by the likes of Earthbound and Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, which are both right up my alley. Undertale was another title that intimidated me. I’m sure there are many great games and narratives I’ve missed over the years because the expectation of jump scares and pure dread intimidated me too much to actually give it a go. To give you an idea of how easily I frighten, I barely made it through Gone Home. I’m a sucker for the stories of those games, but a massive coward when it comes to the actual scares. Usually, it’s with a survival horror title. Have you ever been too intimidated to play a video game? I think I’m mature enough to say that I have been on multiple occasions. Oh, now I get why people went nuts over this thing
