I made a post like this before, but I have to make it again. Because Deltarune is fucking everywhere, it feels like. And so I have to venture forth into the breach, so I can explain why I don't like the game.
It's not that the game is badly written. I'm sure it's not. It's not that the characters are bad. They're funny sometimes. No, the problem is that the game feels like a videogame version of Stephen King movie! Psychological horror and supernatural horror abound at every twist, as weird nightmarish beasts come to torment my senses and kill me a little bit more inside every time I think of it.
There are worse pieces of media than the Undertale/Deltarune set. But they still scare me. I don't know what the games mean, but they have that lynchian vibe. I never watched David Lynch stuff, but I heard it was weird and eerie and dreamlike. Yeah, that's what these games are like to me. Funny sometimes, but also horrific nightmarish and eerie. I don't like it. I respect those who do, but I also have the strongest urge ever to just demand it be banished from my presence. Oh, I have a dictatorial element to my soul. It stays under lock and key most of the time, but fear brings the angry dictatorial aspect of me back out into the open. Apologies.
