So...that part is true, then? Game locks you out?

I would say some things, but they would not be happy thread material.

[ArKFallen]

Just watched the last 3 episodes of Steven Universe (21-23). Cute and upbeat is refreshing from my usual doom and doom doom gloom doom.

The game does not lock you out, it simply changes the ending a bit to make it... darker. It doesn't lock you out of any gameplay.

It is possible to avoid the consequences by deleting a particular file. Not sure where it is, but I know what it's called.

[Aklyon]

Its like most things that have multiple endings, you cannot get all of them at once. That would be a paradox.

[Putnam]

the effect transcends playthroughs and resets

[SalmonGod]

And it's more than just endings...

[Putnam]

not much?

at least i never actually fully completed it and still noticed minor effects

mostly sans being significantly more protective about papyrus

It began development in Andrew Hussie's basement. Not a metaphor. Toby "Radiation" Fox (the creator of the game) was literally in Andrew Hussie's basement when he began work on the game.

Fuck man!  You should have lead with that
I already got the game because cool people seemed to really like it for some reason, and all the pacifism-run talk made me hope for a higher-production-value Iji too.

Also I have got to see what's making everybody *cry*.  Like really, what the hell?
I've avoided spoilers somehow, yay.  Even skipped a couple pages of the sad thread when it was getting discussed.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I can see where one would cry. Deeefinitely. YOU FEEL YOUR SINS CRAWLING ON YOUR BACK.

[Emma]

I have got to get this game.

EDIT: In other awesome news,

Tested out a dwarf reading a necromancer's book in a fort mode library. Fun was had.

Well I'm not very far into my 2nd run, so I can't say first-hand... but I've done a little reading and apparently things run deeper and deeper the more you play the game... to the point of discovering hidden characters and background plots.  Plus, your level of violence definitely effects far more than just the ending.

[Shook]

There's a demo if you want to try before paying. I tried it, accidentally got a non-ideal "ending" to it, had a knife stuck in my feels for the rest of the day. :v

Spoiler: legit spoiler don't read if you haven't completed the demo or equivalent (click to show/hide)

Accidentally murdering Toriel while trying to tick her down for a Spare was the closest a video game has ever gotten to making me cry for real. ;~;
I only realized afterwards that you just had to keep pressing Spare, so naturally i savescummed and did that instead to redeem myself slightly, and then Flowey called me out on that, the little prick. :v

In much happier news, i've found a tabletopping place, and am going there to play TODAY. Seems like a swell bunch of people, and i've been itching to roll dice for a while now. SHOOK SOMEWHAT ANXIOUS, BUT SHOOK STILL HAPPY.

Well, I for one can tell you that its a legitimally good game in its genre :v, as in its quite creative in how it integrates plot and gameplay, and how the whole thing is executed. It even accounts for (certain) datamining attempts and integrates it subtly into the plot in some ways. The game is also good at making you care for the characters, while not actualy making them suffer as a "lets make the player care" mechanism. They can suffer if you choose to make it happen, though.

Take it from me, someone who dislikes Homestuck and its fandom, and was rather suspicious of Undertale until I tried it. Its pretty good.

Meep. I want to give Undertale a shot, so I'm just going to have avoid those spoilers. I've done remarkably well thus far about ignoring everything, which says something about it.

Got my anthropology grade, a 7. Pretty good, since I needed 6 to pass.
