I agree that while Chapter 2 was delightful, it lacked either the deep narrative character/party drive of Chapter 1's story or the recurring themes and crescendo buildup of Undertale.

Seemed to rely a lot on

The fact that Queen is hilarious as a pseudovillain to half-pass the main story and provide a space to bring in Noelle and Berd Boy as characters for the future, along with a much stronger secret boss story thats clearly gonna be important beyond the optional dialogue later on.


But even if the first act was too slow, it was fun when it was going! Just, hard to believe that Chapter 2 is only an hour shorter than the whole of UNDERTALE given what actually happens in it.
