"Yeah. The underground is his realm. And teach us he did. But technically, you're also right. The underground is the only place where the world works as game, ergo, where we can play it. Further proving my thesis, that the game is self-enclosed."

No it doesn't.

"Cool. So the entire game then."

No, and I'm very tempted to do what Flowey does, and call you an idiot. However this, "You gotta give it to me though, I am humor itself today." Gives me the impression that you're trolling me. First off, no you're not. Second off, if you are, then I automatically hate you. Because I. Hate. Trolls.

But seeing as how I'm trying to have a civil conversation here, I will ignore my anger and hate, and continue with said conversation.

"Easy to say, sounds good, doesn't work."

It DOES though, if you simply take the rules of the game and think of them as the laws of the world of the game. Do you see how simple and easy that is?

"Ergo, that it's canonically a game. I've been over this already, like half a year ago. You all are just repeating TheHumanAmbassador's words."

No, that just means that its a world with different laws and rules to our own. You know, the basic concept of an Alternate Universe? Have you never read a book or comic, played a game, watched a movie or tv show, or gone on the internet (other than this site)? The only times the word game are used in the game are for an actual game in the world, or as an analogy for the/a situation. Just because the world has the rules and mechanics of a video game, doesn't mean the world in and of itself is a game. That just means that it's a world with game mechanics as it's laws.

It's simple: The world operates on game-like mechanics, The Player is an otherworldly anomaly that sees the world as a game - and uses it as such - and Frisk is it's unwitting puppet as they travel through the world. Boom, done, why in the world does that seem to be so hard for you?

"I bet there's someone out there that would disagree with you on that. Not me though. I find those instances laughable too. Just like I find laughable the idea of humans dealing invisible attacks, monsters being able to shatter your buttons, and fights being locked in a turn-based system."

Alternate Universe, look it up, Undertale falls right into that category.
