Is Undertale depressing or make you sad in any way?

[Tomberry Blue]

Determines if I buy it or not. I'm in a place where I need cheering up and being a pacifist in a game full of comedy sounds nice but I keep hearing about "feels".

[Jakeyak]

When i listen to the most of Undertale soundtrack it fills me with sadness i dont know why

But yes game can bring positive emotions

N-N-N Necromancy!

Although actually Steam officially supports such activities to avoid excessive forum cluttering with repeat questions when the revivals are actually relevant. If seeing dead topics revived disturbs you, there's always the unsub from discussion button.

But yeah. Undertale does have a few sad moments, immensely sad to be honest. But as sad as certain moments are, even most of the sad moments left me feeling hopeful. And... I don't think that was an accident.

Actually, it is precisely BECAUSE of the sad moments that I am able to think back, smile, and reminisce fondly upon all the joy Undertale has brought to me, even 9 months after the fact. Without such moments, I feel the entire experience, even the far more abundant happy moments, would have faded from my mind mere weeks (two months, tops) after finishing the game.

Depressing? not at all, there are some sad moments of course but the same could be said for most fiction.

Yeah, I was depressed I wasted my time on this trash instead of playing a good game.

I love how you necroed this thread just to criticize the fanbase and its content.

It's surprisingly elaborate and I think you'll be more interested in exploring the game for all its content and variables over trying to play a game that just exists to make you smile.

If that's all you want, I can recommend Animal Crossing.

Undertale sounds like a great game but due to recent events I would like something nice and cheerful for now.

Not Animal Crossing though, I hate those. :/

What. Did. You. Say!?!

You could always play Dark souls until game don't depress you anymore.

If you "act good" in this game, then the experience is 99% happy. It isn't until the last 1% or whatever that goes to more serious territory.

[(Edgy) Asriel Dreemurr]

No, I love murdering hanging out with all my friends.

[Cocyx The Gay Skeleton]

So Sorry is probably the most depressing part in the entire game

As has been said, it's a rollercoaster of emotions. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the game is "depressing" since it's mostly lighthearted and goofy, but they are contrasted with mellow moments.

If you're worried, I suggest you play the Demo (only available on the official Undertale site for some reason). But then again you already own the game.

[Puffinbird]

its ok i mean its super sad for me cause all the joy ended and i dont want to replay the game cause flowey said not to... but if that doesnt bother you play the game just dont watch any of those fan undertale games (especially horrortale thats depressing as hell)
