Atomic Heart memes emerged prominently following the release of Mundfish's alternate-history FPS in early 2023. While the game's Sovietpunk aesthetic and 'crispy critters' catchphrase gained traction, the internet was primarily captivated by 'The Twins'—two faceless, robotic bodyguards named Left and Right. The meme culture surrounding the game blends genuine appreciation for its unique art direction with a heavy dose of irony regarding the community's obsession with the robotic ballerinas. These templates are frequently used to joke about distraction, gaming aesthetics, and the unexpected viral popularity of specific character designs.
