Information overload.

Have you played Undertale? Of course you have! No? Well, I don’t know because articles are not interactive media, even if they talk about interactive media. But it’s ok, because chances are you have heard about Undertale and that’s enough. For the purpose of this article, it is just an example, a starting point: the real meat is wider and affects every one of us. Because if I wrote this and you are reading it, we care about games.
The Internet is full of information and related media about Undertale. Its community is amazing and the emotional impact of its story and memetic powers make it ubiquitous, even after all this time. So, in order to play it, I isolated myself from it as some friends told me that it’s a better experience without knowing anything or having expectations of any kind. Just enjoy the ride, they said.
