The capacity for video games to make us feel like monsters can vary from title to title and the tone can be different too. We probably don't really feel much slaughtering 1000s of unnamed NPCs in a GTA game, yet one Little Sister sacrifice in BioShock can make us feel dirty and even a little sick. Undertale on the other hands combines the two and makes every character in the game matter. Playing Undertale through the genocide route will make you feel things you thought you never would, especially if under the right circumstances. Playing through a pacifist route your first time will get you nice and acquainted with the game's entire charming cast, from its dungeon-crawling monsters to heavy hitters like Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne. Genocide route will then task you with killing all your favorite characters, everyone from Napstablook to Lesser Dog, absolutely no one is spared and you will feel terrible for doing it. No exceptions. Even if you do Genocide first, playthroughs for Pacifist and the game in general become irrevocably broken to always remind the player of their horrible misdeeds. Many games are meant to bring happiness and relief, or to pass the time, but Undertale destines itself to be something more and pry emotions out of the player they may not want to experience.
