Twitch Plays Undertale Neutral

"The Bridge"

**Twitch Plays Undertale Neutral** was the first Twitch Plays of the ARG. It ran from June 17, 2023 to June 22, 2023 and ultimately ended in an Aborted Genocide ending.

The run lasted just under a Week, with most of the time being spent on the second Undyne Chase in waterfall.

Ultimately, the run was successful, and lead to Twitch Plays Undertale Pacifist.

## Prologue

After numerous test streams, Twitch Plays Undertale was officially announced June 16, 2023, and started the day after, on June 17th.

In the day leading up to the run, members of the HBC TPU Discord strategized and ultimately decided on the Glad Plan, which was to perform a genocide route leading up to waterfall, and then abort at Glad Dummy, skipping the Mad Dummy Fight. This was a decision made mostly out of fear of the Mad Dummy fight being a massive roadblock, as it was a notable roadblock in the MysticSlime Youtube Plays Undertale streams.

## Ruins

The run began and the first fallen child was named FFFFF. While multiple interpretations of this name exist, the most prominent one was "Whit"- FFFFFF would have been the Hex Code for the color White, and so FFFFF, being one short of that, could be interpreted as "Whit".

However, since this name is the name of the First Fallen Human, not the one that you actually play as in Undertale, the rest of this synopsis will simply refer to Chat as CHAT.

CHAT spent a notable amount of time in the ruins, accidentally resetting the run multiple times via the ESCAPE command.

Eventually, CHAT made its way to the leaf puzzle, which was a notable roadblock, but continued the genocide plan and ultimately was able to get past the Leaf Puzzle.

Toriel died after a brief struggle.

## Snowdin

In Snowdin, the genocide plan continued, with multiple members of chat who wanted to abort genocide putting up a notable resistance and repeatedly sparing the Lesser Dog. Ultimately, CHAT was able to reset and kill the Lesser Dog, and continued the Genocide Route.

Papyrus fell easily, and CHAT made it into waterfall.

## Waterfall

Waterfall was where most of the run's length lies.

The first major roadblock was the first Undyne Chase, which was eventually beaten.

The second Undyne Chase, now dubbed "The Bridge", would not be so easy. It was an incredibly difficult gauntlet of pain that Chat somehow managed to stay determined through.

After multiple days of constant attempts, Chat eventually managed to get past this bridge, and CHAT managed to spare the Glad Dummy.

After a lengthy and absurd battle with Undyne, she was murdered, leading the way to Hotland.

## Hotland

In Hotland, CHAT mostly continued the Genocide Run, but ended up almost sparing Mettaton before dying. After a lengthy debate and a fierce battle internally, CHAT spared Mettaton EX, which began the start of the 'Redemption Arc'.

After this, CHAT beat and subsequently spared Asgore in HOME.

## Omega Flowey

The final roadblock of the run, Omega Flowey, was a mildly annoying one, but it was ultimately not that difficult for Chat to pull through. By simply banning all inputs, Chat was able to tank most of the damage from Omega Flowey and whittle his HP down to 0.

Through a combined effort, in hope of redemption, Chat managed to spare Flowey's life.

## Aftermath

Because Chat killed Toriel and Undnye, Mettaton became king of the underground with Papyrus as Mettaton's second agent, wishing that Undyne would come back.

In the aftermath of the run, HalfBreadChaos had a poll held where users could vote on whether to immediately start a second run or to wait. Chat voted to have a short break in between runs, and the stream was ajourned.
