The Amalgates were absolutely horrifying. Especially the Memoryheads. Endogeny wasn't so bad except for the music.

I think the music made it. And I actually thought the amalgamate made of the weird snow comedian bird thing (heck if I remember most of the monster names...) was terrifying too. It's sad to see something so sad and that its attacks weren't even something that could hit.

Why does everyone think the True Lab is terrifying? Sure it's kinda creepy but this is coming from a guy that's scared of the hostile mobs in Minecraft...
My brother beat the Dummy and is now stuck on Undyne.

When Undyne turns your SOUL red, select run in the MERCY menu and run away from her.
I'm easily frightened, so the Amalgates were scary at first, but I eventually got used to them (except for the Memoryheads). Though the True Lab is pretty unsettling.
Also, I'm addicted to Amalgam. Someone send help.

The first time I went through the True Lab, I was slightly creeped out by the room with the mirrors, when you get an encounter bubble but then it changes into a smiley face before turning into one of the monsters. I'd read about the genocide run before I did this part of the game so I thought it had something to do with that. I was also creeped out by the shower curtain room.

Oh my god fuck the shower curtain room. Urghhhh. Toby should never make a horror game ever.

I personally find Flowey's facial expressions to be way scarier.

For me, the most unsettling part was the first 'attack' of the Reaper Bird. Where there's just this thing, staring at you, and its head gets swarmed with moths, and it sinks onto its knees in silent agony.

Spoilers aren't that bad honestly. Most of the time I don't tend to get surprised by things (and I'm not counting jumpscares. They'll get the best out of anyone. It's so cheap) This is the reason I hate Fnaf. Jump-scares are the only thing it has. |

In terms of attacks in general for the game, some of my least favorite attacks came from the Lemon? amalgamate. I have no idea if that's the right word, but it sticks out for it. The one with all the teeth attacks. Bleh; too hard to dodge. Also hated the washing turtle attacks. Or it looked like a washing turtle. I died just short of 5 times in the game I'm pretty sure and 2 or 3 of those deaths came from the damn turtle. |

I can't really play it, I just read the lore. Never watch any videos, don't care about shit.

Lemon Bread wasn't too hard for me. I just watched the borders of her normal attack and head to the gaps. I will admit her second attack is a bit challenging, but it doesn't occur frequently enough to cause much of an issue, and I'm always loaded with healing items if it comes to the worse. I think Neutral/Pacifist Undyne is harder, because the yellow arrows are always disorientating. (I'm actually surprised I didn't die at least once during my first playthrough against Undyne.)

I know a guy on Derpibooru who thought he was one of the hardest fights in the entire game. WOSH U SOUL  |

Yeah. For as lighthearted and humorous of a game that Undertale is, there is sure a fuckton of creepy imagery. Toby Fox has also said that he plans to maybe make another game that will be much darker than Undertale so....look forward to that.

Finally: the most important video of them all. I know that Toby has a fair number of versions of Megalovania out there, but the best version by far is with more airhorn Really? |

Byootiful. I wonder where the sound clips came from?
In all seriousness, judging from the videos, Sans seems pretty hard. I'm actually tempted to go on a Genocide run, but I'm way too attached to the characters, and I don't want to ruin the perfectly-good Pacifist route.

Undertale is one of those stories designed for video games that really doesn't work in a non-video game medium.
Once your personal control over the loading/saving of "timelines" is removed then the events have much less impact. The connection to your actions is important to the narrative, in a way it can't be for cinema.
Just the story of Undertale by itself, a kid wandering around befriending a bunch of monsters and finally fighting a giant flower, wouldn't really be quite so impressive on its own in a linear format without the presence of yourself as the guiding player force.

You see I would agree with you, but the thing is we've actually already gotten a story just recently that features that exact same concept, and in my opinion was a fantastic movie: Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise. The basic plot of that movie was a guy gained the ability from an invading alien force to restart the day over and over again just like the protagonist of a first person shooter, and in doing so honed his skills until he could save the day.
EDIT: also, in reference to the whole "You're in control so that makes the actions more real" bit, we've just had another movie that just came out that did that too, although I didn't see that one myself: Hardcore Henry. Granted this one was very experimental but from what I've heard it was very well received and really made you feel like you were playing a first person action game.

It wouldn't be quite so impactful, without the extra couple hours of time interacting with the random encounters, the fact that you aren't making the decisions yourself, and all the content you inherently would have to skip over when you have maybe a quarter of the time to tell the story in, but yeah, it could still theoretically make for an alright movie.

Undertale could maybe work as a movie, if it was done in the right way.

So here's a question: Yes? No? *O* wow! But, actually unlike Homestuck I feel like Undertale would translate into a movie well. The overall atmosphere of it is nice and tight so it would be cool to see in movie form, Especially in a dreamworks film. |

Undertale movie could work for people who haven't heard anything about it, but it could feel a little more cheap to those who have played the game.
Video game movies tend to be trainwrecks too. Movie based video games also don't tend, although you don't hear about these as often.
