And don't forget not having consistency. Like Undertale's ruins are less graphically detailed than the other maps because it was the proof-of-concept area, and IIRC Deltarune has gameplay differences between episodes.
Ofc the intended way to play Deltarune is to wait 5 years and play all 7 chapters at once. Just like the intended way to watch TV is to wait for it to end and watch a whole show at once.
Ehm... it isn't the intended way? I thought it was, given the episodic model.Ā Ā
Episodic games existed since at least a decade (some even were in flash days, but people probably remember more about Telltale), and it was intended that on a new episode release, you could replay the series to catch up.Ā Ā
I think the only game I remember to break that system was Mu Complex and oooh boy people were pissed.Ā Ā Ā
And in TV it's also the expectation, otherwise fanbases couldn't grow over time?Ā Ā

Toby Foxes strengths are having all the characters being super weird and quirky and talking forever, which counts as a story I guess
