Undertale is a very strange game, and is perhaps one of the most culturally relevant indie games ever made - It's inspired a whole host of spinoffs, fan art, and even a bunch of Youtube videos.
However, as far as The Architect is aware, no-one's actually figured out the meaning behind Undertale- if it even has one at all. So buckle up for three quarters of an hour of desperately trying to figure out what Undertale was all about, and what, if anything, we can learn from it.
You Saw:
Err... Undertale mostly.
