Hmm. Perhaps it's a bit easier to accept the idea in the way it's conveyed to the player for the first time, when the game suddenly becomes really unsettling in the true lab, after spending so much time getting used to the idea of it being a joke. Guess you'll never know for sure!
well, I was pretty familiar with it being a joke. the real nature of it was surprisingly one of the few things that had never actually been spoiled for me before
I suppose it might be different if I'd actually been invested in the game though. and it's not like I think the game's bad, just some parts don't sit right with me
but in any case I don't think I'd have liked playing it. 2D RPG games are rarely my cup of tea
I really like asriel when he's got the black lines under his eyes though. what a qt 3.14
