Actually a pretty good game. It's clearly inspired by Mother but it's still very creative in its own right. Most of the characters are fairly likable and charming aside from alphys. I feared most of the game was going to be HAHA WE MAKE BAD JOKE AND ACKNOWLEDGE IT BAD but that's mostly just relegated to sans and toriel and it's pretty subdued. That being said the general sense of humor didn't really appeal to me either but it was still endearing in a way. The serious part of the story is interesting and well-made but it didn't particularly strike my emotions. However, it was very annoying going into the game knowing I should be a pacifist but being unable to do a true pacifist run because you need flowey to tell you not to kill anyone first. This was even more annoying when you start the second run and flowey says "hey don't kill anyone, I shouldn't have to tell you this". The fights are fun and do a good job of staying unique throughout the entirety of the game. The music is great and the visual style is also pretty good but the main character's sprite annoys me. In the end I don't really have many complaints about the game but it didn't hit me as hard as it did a lot of people. Even hotland which was my least favorite part of the game due to alphys was salvaged mostly by mettaton and the music.
