@Kittycat gaming she has the determination, no matter how long it took she'd be able to do it for sure, the challenge is if she can be the murder machine and can her consciousness take it
I did it I got spoiled on the pacifist things it was the only thing I knew about Undertale other than that sans was a character in it I did it after resetting my save because I killed toriel
19:07 the fact that she immediately goes to the mercy button without any hesitation warmed my heart beyond belief Edit: I will never be able to experience this game for the first time again, but seeing this first time playthrough of it really gave me that feeling again. I havent cried at the Asriel hug in a long time, since I always knew it was coming. But apparently, after a few years of not seeing this game and then watching someone new experience it, it definitely got to me. thank you guys for playing this
2:13 For the Uninitiated, that's the face Goat Mom makes when she kills your character. That's only doable by deliberately moving into her attacks at low health, since she will start pulling her punches then.
Deliberately? I made the exact same mistake as her fighting Toriel and died. I blame panic. I was even panicking too hard to realize the expression shift, so I'm glad the timestamp was posted. I was also too much of a coward to face Papyrus so my file will forever live in Snowdin.
I've heard it's only possible if you start your turn at 8 hp, because higher is too high for Tutoriel to kill you, and below that point she actively checks for your hp and makes her attacks weaker.
Her saying "Tarn stay determined" in the room with the coffins got me a little choked up, It's like she's turning to comforting herself with the games words 😭
I don't think I would have the heart to make her do the other route. This is just too cute. And the whole point of that one is that your actions are permanent, and they always have consequences, including infecting everything you did in the past, and into the future, unless you straight up reset the game files. I think that she will have to choose to do it if she's curious.
@@BoyMetGirl do you think you'll ever upload the whole run she did? it looks like fun to watch in full and i'm curious about her reactions to a lot of things (for example the rest of the artifact room)
Tarn saying "All my friends! ;~;" fills me with determination, and other emotions that makes me want to have water come out of my face. It's so wholesome, I think this is my favorite video you guys have made, thank you!
This seems like the perfect game for her I'm so glad you didn't show the "I won't be able to love anymore" line from Asriel at the end because I am a sobbing mess every time
Never played the game myself. But i watched a full playthrough of the true ending. The themes of this game were 1000% a formative event even though i was already older when i saw it. As a bleeding heart idealist trying to make my days a little brighter, "Despite everything, it's still you." broke me in ways my own mind can't begin to process.
Um sorry to tell you this? But there isn't a "true" ending 2015-2016 players know what I'm talking about, basically while yes there's a kind of a good neutral and bad ending ALL OF THEM ARE CONNECTED. Here's the thing like that guy said it knows that it's a game, so yes all "endings" are connected and the final ending is the bad ending the "true ending" that you might be talking about is pacifist right? Cause of yes then no, the true ending is IF you're gonna make that ending the ending you end you're game, to me what i consider the true ending is the bad ending cause well it is all true the story is supposed to be Neutral, true pacifist, no mercy, paci/no mercy true (aka the you tried to fix you're problems that you made but you can never fix it and is trying to blame it on the 1st fallen human) that's canon ending and what most fans see as the Canon one.
Play the game there’s more endings on whatever you do in the game. Over 70 endings. 2 main ones, the pacifist and the other one (not naming) also the guy cuts a lot of parts out so go play the game
As someone who watched countless playthroughs of this game before ever getting it personally (basically I'm poor lmao), including the main neutral and genocide endings, and also as someone who this game is so very dear to, I cannot stress enough what a treat it was to revisit it with my own hands - backtracking for that one last conversation was perhaps my favorite part. If you ever have some random bout of nostalgia, I definitely recommend playing it yourself!
@@lightningjadejaviercan't bring myself to do that, nope. Too attached to the characters for that. Besides, the no mercy route asks you "is this really worth it just for 'completion'?" the whole way through, and the answer is it isn't imo
I'm an emotional wreck right now and Undertale is my favorite game ever, but this video literally has me in tears over how precious it is. Your girlfriend sounds like she played the game _exactly_ like I did - went into because you didn't have to kill the enemies, desperately forced my friendship upon enemies designed to make you give up (Toriel, Undyne) after dying about a million times, spending literal hours checking every shred of dialogue because I wanted the _story_ .... and dying a ridiculous amount of times to "easy" enemies because I am so bad at video games that it's not even funny lol. And your analysis of the game and how it appeals to different people in different ways is spot on. Her not wanting to put the little sleepy dog away even though there is _literally nothing there_ but an image the dialogue box paints for you as the dog exits only to annoy you is the most wholesome and adorable thing ever... second only to the fact that she did not even hesitate a second to sparing Flowey after the neutral ending.
I'm curious to know what her reaction to the "Despite everything, it's still you" moment because that still gets me every time. I'm so glad she loved this game. It's the first game I've ever played that goes out of its way to reward you for being a pacifist.
this may be the most you've ever shown off the live gameplay footage and commentary of throughout an entire video(?)... But, you also knew just exactly what we all wanted to get to see. This is good.
Undertale is definitely one of those games that you want to see the _live_ reactions if they're caught. It's just so full of surprises and impactful moments
5:19 One thing I love that I learnt about recently, is if you do die to Toriel she has a shocked look on her face for a split second before the fade to black.
This game is an experience that every human should have. For the longest time I didn't even gave this game a shot, because of "simplistic" gameplay (how naïve of me) I am glad Tarn enjoyed this. Nick when are you going to start streaming on Twitch brother?! Edit: 16:25 You guys played Factorio!!!!! Please do a date night with Factorio. Please, pretty please
16:15 It may sound strange or creepy, but for me it's always so interesting to see someone's desktop. Somehow it's interesting to check out what games other people play or what software they use. Sometimes it turns out to be a nice way to discover some cool new games
what the hell!! its been years since ive consumed anything relating to undertale but watching this video and seeing her go through the pacifist route, bonding with all the characters... why did it make me cry?!?!
Her not having much experience with turnbased RPGs and RPGs as a whole might have helped her get into the moral aspect of the fight easier, but I feel like it might be less impactful than if it's breaking your habits
Do you guys ever think about revisiting some of the date night games and possibly doing something like a second date for some of them or possibly turning any of them into a longer series?
This was such an entertaining watch through. I would say that your girlfriend is a precious cinnamon bun that must be protected at all costs, but I think she's proven that she can handle herself and doesn't need anyone's protection, what a trooper On that note, I would love to see her (or you) play DDLC next (if she or you haven't played it already) Why not add one more "game that deletes your save file" to the pile?
YES, the day has finally come! ❤ It's always interesting to see more people discover the game. The community has a pretty bad past with being pretty toxic and overcautious with new players not playing like they "should" but thankfully it's all mostly in the past now 🙂 Undertale is an unforgettable journey that's worth experiencing. I'm glad it exists, beacuse I know it helped a lot of people I'm wondering about your girlfriend's reaction to Toby's second game- deltarune considering it's take on the genre and the topic of choices in videogames. Of course the game isn't finished yet so you could either wait for the full release or convince her to play the first 2 that are available for now. Anyways I can wait if it's necessary 👍 ( and yes, I have requested this game already in an earlier episode lol )
no matter how many times i play this game, no matter how many years i've been in the community, this game still makes me cry beyond anything in the entire world and i couldn't be happier about it
or even accidentally thinking she would give up at the end if you lowered her health enough, a common trope in such situations from many RPGs. Oh fkn boy was that a trap.
The Toriel fight is brilliant because one of three things happens: 1. You kill her, classic RPG style, feel remorse about it but assume the game is a regular RPG.... only to get blasted in the heart over and over again realizing it didn't have to be like this. 2. You _accidentally_ kill her, can't accept the outcome, and reset the game to find another way - leading you to discover that Undertale _remembers_ and encouraging you to use your resets to your advantage and to add to the experience. 3. You somehow manage to "brute force" your way through to sparing her, then the concept of spare-able bosses is completely solidified in your mind, and you even have a basic knowledge of how to do this now (noticing that dialogue changes when you're doing something right). This basically supercharges your pacifist quest and helps you not give up... then pulls a 180 on you and stabs you right through the heart during Asgore's battle. 100/10 absolutely amazing first boss of a game
@The Drawing Dragon the game subverting prior rpg expectations and then subverting its own established expectations later on is one of the best parts of the game.
I forgot how good the ending of the game was. I remember me being just numb to everything at the end of the game, not being able to process everything that happened. Up untill this day I havent played genocide, and this video reminded me why I didn't want to
Tarn during the pacifist ending: It's all my friends!!! Nooooo!!! All my friends!!! *_GASP_* All of my friends!!! NOOOOO!!! ALL OF MY FRIENDS! *_OH MY GOD IT'S MY FRIENDS!!!_* (Cries from goat hug)
I know I'm very late to this party, but I'd like to say, this video made me SOB, and I'm not joking. Tears are running down my face as I write this. I'm not quite sure why this video, at the end in the Asriel fight scene, made me start crying, but it did. Seeing her reactions to the end of the game, the beautiful editing to make the fight even more special, just really got to me. I can't believe that someone with so little experience in gaming playing one of my favorite games of all time made me so emotional and happy. I knew I loved watching people play games for the first time, but it's certainly special watching someone with so little experience and knowledge on gaming as a whole play a game like Undertale. Thank you, for having her play
Oh my god thinking that Asgore prepared a coffin for us, I remember that ! That's absolutely not what it is but at that point in the game, you can't know. I fell for it the first time too.
Love to see you 2 playing it Next time try OneShot Really good story driven puzzle game that breaks the fourth wall and also hits you right in the feels Should also be played twice :D
He better not ever force her to do one. The entire point of this game is that you have a choice, and you're really just as evil for doing a genocide run for the sake of it as if you were doing it for entertainment.
Guys tbh last 2 week i ve been sleeping on you guys videos i dont mean its boring or anything after all when i wake up i watch it 2 times But you guys video are so chill and relaxing like not like the other youtubers that screams or be loud, keep going
Watching a playthrough of one of my favorite games from 2015 made me cry once again.. I can't believe this.. Amazing playthrough. You've given us a trip to memory lane and reminded us of the power of compassion even against enemies.
I’ve never seen Toriel’s reaction to when you die in her battle at 5:20. I thought I’ve seen everything in Undertale and yet I’m still seeing new things!
Amazing as always! In the theme of solo developers with wacky but fascinating ideas - Both 'Papers Please' and 'Return of the Obra Dinn' are really interesting games, both made by Lucas Pope. Although they are on the darker side compared to the uplifting tale that Undertale can be
This brings back so many memories of when I first played undertale! It's so great seeing what everyone does differently in here. One other RPG that I really recommend is OMORI, I would love to see one of you play it! :D
this made me cry and brim with nostalgia, she reacted the exact same way i did during my first playthrough of undertale and it really means a lot to me to see people enjoying this game and experiencing it for the first time in 2023, long live undertale
daaaaaaannnnggg, first off her reactions are adorable, second, why you do this to my heart? xD Seeing someone play this game for the first time and genuinely take the pacifist route always warms my heart, that sweet sweet nostalgia just echos through time and space, this 20 minute vid is awesome 👍👍
Toriel is an interesting boss fight, one that checks your video game literacy. A complete noob (like girlfriend. thats not a bad thing.) is not going to know when the game is telling them they are making the wrong choice, and get rewarded with the real fight and solution. Someone who is comfortable with games will see the cue to change tactics and take it at face value, locking themselves into the neutral route. Finally, it comes back around to the gaming veterans, ones who see every little detail the game is offering. A frog talking of a fight where you must spare even if the monster does not accept it. Very minor changes to the dialogue with every attempt proving the game is changing. A veteran and noob are on the same level, one through ignorance and the other through hyper-awareness, both have the chance to see the true pacifist run immediately after the neutral run. All that is left to determine is the definition of "veteran". Undertale is not the first game to mess with the player's perceptions, and it wont be the last, either. You pointed out Neir's installment of true fear at losing a save file, but that is only one example.
A while back, Razbuten made a video that undertale was not suited for newcomers. I highly, highly disagreed, because Tarn here showed that while you won't have the feeling of rpg being used to be a twist, Undertale's most natural and fun mechanics is actually to play the mercy route, so newcomers gets funneled to that route. Tarn's way of approaching Toriel was the exact same as my girlfriend and my own as well, mercy is the only way to get new textbox, so of course, that's the approach we must take. But regular rpg players would've broke their pacifist run with Toriel because RPG players don't care to experimentation, and just want progression and levels. Something that is completely lost to newcomers of games.
I'm so glad she got to experience the game! It's a game near and dear to my heart but more than that I love seeing the reactions other people have to it. It's really well written and super fun! So glad she stayed determined
My first playthough was unintentionally with bad ending and was devastating. And year since that I don't think that replaying for good ending make difference for me, i'm still will feel bad for it. I'm glad that some of us played as true pacifist for first time. Thanks for video, you made me a little happier now
I am pretty sure that if you do a genocide route first you need to clear all the cache about the game in your computer or else you can't have a true pacifist ending, because the game will remember that you did a genocide run before.
This. This was what Undertale was about. This video is extremely heartwarming, and for all those that Undertale has marked them in their lives, its extremely important too. This is what Undertale intended to be, a way to choose your own path, your own emotions, and see the consequences for that. About following what you believe in. It's a lesson, and a journey, and I'm so glad that Taryn has found hers, and with that, has showed us and helped us learn, and remember. Thank you for this. I really appreciate it.
The Toriel fight lays two traps, actually. The first one for those skimming through the game, where they assume that sparing isn't doing anything so they have to fight. The second is for those going through more carefully. A Froggit early in the Ruins tells you that bringing a monster's HP low enough can let you spare it - which is true, though the monsters in the Ruins are easy enough to spare that it's not something most need to use. But that Froggit also tells you that it might be useful if you encounter a monster that can't normally be spared... which Toriel appears to be, especially given the lack of any response to the act menu. Which is why Toby Fox, that sly dog, specifically programmed that fight such that instead of becoming spare-able she instead sustains a critical hit. Which is. Uh. Quite the shock, when it happens.
This is the first video I've seen from this channel, and gotta say, I love the vibes! Undertale is one of my favorite games of all time, and seeing this first time playthrough really gave me the memories of my first playthrough.
yeah, i was the same with toriel. i thought the game was telling me "alright, time to stop with the kiddy gloves and kill. its a harsh world. you gotta."
I see there is some people asking for a genocide run. But honestly, if Tarn really cares about all the characters in the game, DO NOT ASK FOR IT. I know, she will not fight sans, she will miss some things the game has to show. But we can already see it on TH-cam. If you love Undertale, don't ask her to do this.
Absolutely loved all the "Yay, my friends ! :D" immediately followed by "No, my friends !! D:"
It's a rollercoaster of emotions! :D

I did cause the game advertised as “the friendly RPG where nobody has to die” so I went straight for it
I've watched a _lot_ of playthroughs, so I've seen full pacifist first blind runs a few times now.
I did it since I played the demo first, and something made me want to just keep all the monsters alive
im pretty sure a lot of us did that lol
Now make her watch you play a genocide run
Now THATS an idea.
i can imagine a juicy reaction from her
Now make her PLAY a genocide route
She must commit Violence and war crimes Yes anyway she then gets to play THE BEST BOSS FIGHT in the game :)
They should do genocide co op

And I ain’t even mad!
You managed to make me cry over this game all over again. A big ugly cry over the power of friendship, felt cathartic. Thanks!
If "murdering all of them ending" is next on the list then there will be tears
This channel always manages to restore my faith in humanity in bad times.
Thank you

“I have a gun!”
I will beat them with the power of love _and_ this gun I got!
I love how Taryn plays games and how Nick watches adores the sweet adorable chaos

Undertale is such a special game, I'm glad Girlfriend got to experience it blind even after all these years
no matter how many times i play this game, no matter how many years i've been in the community, this game still makes me cry beyond anything in the entire world
and i couldn't be happier about it
Honestly i'm genuinely surprised she didn't kill Toriel. I think i speak for most of us that played blind that we uh... didn't do that. _Yeah._
or even accidentally thinking she would give up at the end if you lowered her health enough, a common trope in such situations from many RPGs. Oh fkn boy was that a trap.
The Toriel fight is brilliant because one of three things happens:
1. You kill her, classic RPG style, feel remorse about it but assume the game is a regular RPG.... only to get blasted in the heart over and over again realizing it didn't have to be like this.
2. You _accidentally_ kill her, can't accept the outcome, and reset the game to find another way - leading you to discover that Undertale _remembers_ and encouraging you to use your resets to your advantage and to add to the experience.
3. You somehow manage to "brute force" your way through to sparing her, then the concept of spare-able bosses is completely solidified in your mind, and you even have a basic knowledge of how to do this now (noticing that dialogue changes when you're doing something right). This basically supercharges your pacifist quest and helps you not give up... then pulls a 180 on you and stabs you right through the heart during Asgore's battle.
100/10 absolutely amazing first boss of a game
@The Drawing Dragon the game subverting prior rpg expectations and then subverting its own established expectations later on is one of the best parts of the game.
I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE POKEMON
Now she has to play Deltarune.
Imagine her reaction to Susie
@@xaviidklol
She’s gonna become the next ralsei
I forgot how good the ending of the game was. I remember me being just numb to everything at the end of the game, not being able to process everything that happened. Up untill this day I havent played genocide, and this video reminded me why I didn't want to
Ah shit, at Toriel fight I always get goosebumps and am near to crying. And it hitted me again. I love UNDERTALE ❤
You know a game's good when the first few notes of a soundtrack can make you cry almost on command
Tarn during the pacifist ending:
It's all my friends!!!
Nooooo!!! All my friends!!!
*_GASP_* All of my friends!!!
NOOOOO!!! ALL OF MY FRIENDS!
*_OH MY GOD IT'S MY FRIENDS!!!_*
(Cries from goat hug)
She is so sweet and genuinely caring of everyone made me cry. Bless her heart.
This is really cool! I would of liked to see a full uncut version with all of her deaths and everything.
yaaaaaaaas
I know I'm very late to this party, but I'd like to say, this video made me SOB, and I'm not joking. Tears are running down my face as I write this. I'm not quite sure why this video, at the end in the Asriel fight scene, made me start crying, but it did. Seeing her reactions to the end of the game, the beautiful editing to make the fight even more special, just really got to me. I can't believe that someone with so little experience in gaming playing one of my favorite games of all time made me so emotional and happy. I knew I loved watching people play games for the first time, but it's certainly special watching someone with so little experience and knowledge on gaming as a whole play a game like Undertale.
Thank you, for having her play
Oh my god thinking that Asgore prepared a coffin for us, I remember that ! That's absolutely not what it is but at that point in the game, you can't know. I fell for it the first time too.
i love the dr doofenshmirtz referens. 17:09
also i love your videos, they make me very happy
Love to see you 2 playing it
Next time try OneShot
Really good story driven puzzle game that breaks the fourth wall and also hits you right in the feels
Should also be played twice :D
The genocide run is going to be rough, I can already tell.
He better not ever force her to do one. The entire point of this game is that you have a choice, and you're really just as evil for doing a genocide run for the sake of it as if you were doing it for entertainment.
Guys tbh last 2 week i ve been sleeping on you guys videos i dont mean its boring or anything after all when i wake up i watch it 2 times
But you guys video are so chill and relaxing like not like the other youtubers that screams or be loud, keep going
next step in fourth wall breaking her has gotta be DDLC
Watching a playthrough of one of my favorite games from 2015 made me cry once again.. I can't believe this.. Amazing playthrough. You've given us a trip to memory lane and reminded us of the power of compassion even against enemies.
your girlfriend: doesnt want to hurt anyone
also your girlfriend: HELL YEAH I HAVE A GUN
I’ve never seen Toriel’s reaction to when you die in her battle at 5:20. I thought I’ve seen everything in Undertale and yet I’m still seeing new things!
Amazing as always! In the theme of solo developers with wacky but fascinating ideas - Both 'Papers Please' and 'Return of the Obra Dinn' are really interesting games, both made by Lucas Pope. Although they are on the darker side compared to the uplifting tale that Undertale can be
Oooh those are great suggestions, thanks oleg! :)
I spat out my water when she said “i’m so bad at dodging the little balls :(“ cause i wasn’t paying attention and i just heard that randomly
The ending makes me cry every time even when someone else is playing!
"And why is my name frisk?" HOOOOO BOY THATS A LOADED QUESTION
This brings back so many memories of when I first played undertale!
It's so great seeing what everyone does differently in here.
One other RPG that I really recommend is OMORI, I would love to see one of you play it! :D
this made me cry and brim with nostalgia, she reacted the exact same way i did during my first playthrough of undertale and it really means a lot to me to see people enjoying this game and experiencing it for the first time in 2023, long live undertale
This one I'd LOVE to see the full playthrough!
yes please!!!
daaaaaaannnnggg, first off her reactions are adorable, second, why you do this to my heart? xD
Seeing someone play this game for the first time and genuinely take the pacifist route always warms my heart, that sweet sweet nostalgia just echos through time and space, this 20 minute vid is awesome 👍👍
Despite never having played Undertale, i knew it'd be her kinda game.
Now this?
This is beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
Toriel is an interesting boss fight, one that checks your video game literacy. A complete noob (like girlfriend. thats not a bad thing.) is not going to know when the game is telling them they are making the wrong choice, and get rewarded with the real fight and solution. Someone who is comfortable with games will see the cue to change tactics and take it at face value, locking themselves into the neutral route. Finally, it comes back around to the gaming veterans, ones who see every little detail the game is offering. A frog talking of a fight where you must spare even if the monster does not accept it. Very minor changes to the dialogue with every attempt proving the game is changing. A veteran and noob are on the same level, one through ignorance and the other through hyper-awareness, both have the chance to see the true pacifist run immediately after the neutral run. All that is left to determine is the definition of "veteran". Undertale is not the first game to mess with the player's perceptions, and it wont be the last, either. You pointed out Neir's installment of true fear at losing a save file, but that is only one example.

Undyne: well, some humans are nice!
Alphys: no! That's not true!
That's the most akward timing in montage ever
its like alphys disagrees with undyne
reviewing all the most moving scenes, especially the final ones made me cry again
Well your Girlfriend have a soul of Kindness for sure
A while back, Razbuten made a video that undertale was not suited for newcomers. I highly, highly disagreed, because Tarn here showed that while you won't have the feeling of rpg being used to be a twist, Undertale's most natural and fun mechanics is actually to play the mercy route, so newcomers gets funneled to that route. Tarn's way of approaching Toriel was the exact same as my girlfriend and my own as well, mercy is the only way to get new textbox, so of course, that's the approach we must take. But regular rpg players would've broke their pacifist run with Toriel because RPG players don't care to experimentation, and just want progression and levels. Something that is completely lost to newcomers of games.
Papyrus: Your madly in love with me.
Her: Yes Papyrus.

Gotta L.O.V.E. Undertale. Such beautiful flowers.
Level Of Violence and Ebola
I'm so glad she got to experience the game! It's a game near and dear to my heart but more than that I love seeing the reactions other people have to it. It's really well written and super fun! So glad she stayed determined
My first playthough was unintentionally with bad ending and was devastating. And year since that I don't think that replaying for good ending make difference for me, i'm still will feel bad for it. I'm glad that some of us played as true pacifist for first time. Thanks for video, you made me a little happier now
I am pretty sure that if you do a genocide route first you need to clear all the cache about the game in your computer or else you can't have a true pacifist ending, because the game will remember that you did a genocide run before.
@@cainakubiaki clear the cache and cloud,
@@cainakubiaki it wasn't genocide run, I've spare a lot of enemies, but killed as many as saved. The most I regret about Toriel 😭
So kill everyone instead
This. This was what Undertale was about.
This video is extremely heartwarming, and for all those that Undertale has marked them in their lives, its extremely important too.
This is what Undertale intended to be, a way to choose your own path, your own emotions, and see the consequences for that. About following what you believe in. It's a lesson, and a journey, and I'm so glad that Taryn has found hers, and with that, has showed us and helped us learn, and remember.
Thank you for this. I really appreciate it.
And now, as with everyone that goes right for the True Pacifist Route, I feel as though it'd be really easy to be friends with Taryn.
The Toriel fight lays two traps, actually. The first one for those skimming through the game, where they assume that sparing isn't doing anything so they have to fight.
The second is for those going through more carefully. A Froggit early in the Ruins tells you that bringing a monster's HP low enough can let you spare it - which is true, though the monsters in the Ruins are easy enough to spare that it's not something most need to use. But that Froggit also tells you that it might be useful if you encounter a monster that can't normally be spared... which Toriel appears to be, especially given the lack of any response to the act menu.
Which is why Toby Fox, that sly dog, specifically programmed that fight such that instead of becoming spare-able she instead sustains a critical hit. Which is. Uh. Quite the shock, when it happens.
Maybe she could revisit this game one day and have a bad time...
This is the first video I've seen from this channel, and gotta say, I love the vibes! Undertale is one of my favorite games of all time, and seeing this first time playthrough really gave me the memories of my first playthrough.
I love that she did pacifist all on her own!!
The very first playthrough of Undertale really is special. Thanks for knowing when to be hands-off!
i would love to see the full playthrough of this
yeah, i was the same with toriel. i thought the game was telling me "alright, time to stop with the kiddy gloves and kill. its a harsh world. you gotta."
You made her play both the Normal and pacifist routes, you cant quit now you got one more ending to get
I see there is some people asking for a genocide run. But honestly, if Tarn really cares about all the characters in the game, DO NOT ASK FOR IT.
I know, she will not fight sans, she will miss some things the game has to show. But we can already see it on TH-cam. If you love Undertale, don't ask her to do this.
YOUR GIRLFRINED HAS SUCH A KIND HEART!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I've never seen someone get to the legendary artifact and go, "I want to keep the dog." in my life. Unhinged levels of wholesomeness.
Damn, your girlfriend played more games than ma at this point.
