Finally, A Clever Indie RPG For People Who Suck At Undertale
True confession: while I admire and enjoy the heck out of Undertale, the hugely influential 2015 indie RPG that rewards a peaceful approach to conflict, Iāve never actually managed to complete a pacifist run of the game.

Squishing my legs together as one, like Iām hopping on a tiny pogo stick, I bounce through the (fake) crosswalk, my silhouette on the large screen most closely resembling an 8-bit cactus. – Jen Glennon Read More
