The No Mercy Run in Undertale is a run where you kill the narrative, a deep exploration of meta and the ways we relate to video games, and a thoughtful deconstruction of RPGs at their most basic level. In this video, I'll analyze what makes this route so impactful from beginning to end both as a metanarrative experience and as a piece of Undertale as a complete package.
