I work with teenagers with autism. I have tried so hard to understand Undertale, because they all love it so so much. I even used to stream me playing it so my students could tag along. I want to get it, but I just don't.

If anyone can explain me the appeal (better than my students did) I would appreciate it greatly.

I don't know about you specifically, but I think the problem might be that it's too meta. It subverts your expectations really hard but, of course, it will fail if you don't have any.

I really like this guy's videos so I'll take the opportunity to link him. TLDW: it knows it's a game and that fucks with our brains' way of experiencing fiction.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

idk, I've never played it, only seen some fan-art on youtube. I like it too. I guess that the appeal is that the characters are all (or most) pretty relatable, some are very cute, and that's enough reason to like them.
