    it’s not an easy question for me!

    i’ll just highlight things from undertale: first, it’s pretty cool how waterfall is kind of a “leitmotif bridge” between ruins and another medium / core. too bad snowy isn’t connected in the same way

    more notably: the way don’t give up uses the variation of the ruins leitmotif from an ending / undyne’s neutral death theme is pretty amazing. with pretty much the exact same melody and rhythm, it manages to go from depressing and emotional to inspiring… and emotional.

    may or may not edit with my answers for deltarune later
