I have a confession to make about Undertale Yellow’s Vengeance route
So, I’ve done both Neutral and Pacifist, and I was playing the Vengeance route last night and I was in the Dunes and I got to Ceroba and… I really enjoyed killing almost all the monsters there? Like it felt good to wipe them out. Dunebuds are annoying little turds, Sir Slither is beta Jerry, El Balidor is a terrible boss fight, and Ceroba is my least favorite character in the whole game. It felt almost cathartic to see characters who have given me a head-ache die by my hands (granted, I haven’t killed Ceroba yet, but I started on her last night). The only enemies I felt kind of bad for were the little flower girls and Cactony.
I have NEVER once felt like this when doing Undertale’s genocide, and while I haven’t done Snowgrave, none or the enemies in Deltarune have made me frustrated in the same way Yellow’s has (expect for Jevil but I’ve spared and beaten him up more times than I can count).
Heck, even in Yellow I felt bad for the enemies I was fighting up until this point. Never in a “I can feel the sins crawling on my back” way (except for Dalv), but in a “Look, y’all are cute, you definitely don’t deserve this, but I wanna see the end of this route, so you gotta die. Sorry :(“ way, similar to how I felt with the Undertale enemies that weren’t main characters. Once I hit the dunes though, it was over. It was a complete bloodbath (dustbath?) and I enjoyed every second of it.
I know morally killing cute animals in a video game doesn’t effect me, but I still find it interesting how different my mental state was during this part of the game compared to other times I’ve done this before.
