Everything about Undertale

About Undertale

Undertale is a 2D role-playing video game created by independent developer Toby Fox. The player controls a child who has fallen into the Underworld: a large region below the Earth's surface, isolated by a magical barrier. The player encounters various monsters on their journey to the surface. Some of the monsters will engage the player in combat; the player must fight their way through the bullet hell attacks of their opponents. The player can choose not to kill the monsters, but to appease or subdue them, in order to spare them. These choices affect the course of the game: dialogue, characters, and story can change considerably.

Undertale is a role-playing game; the player looks down on the world from above and controls a child, completing objectives so that the story can progress. The player explores an underground world, full of towns and caves, and must solve numerous puzzles to move forward. Various monsters live in the underground world; many of them challenge the player to battle; the player decides whether to kill their opponent, flee, or befriend them. The player's choices radically affect the direction of the story, their morality being the foundation on which the action is built.

The game was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X in September 2015. It was also ported to Linux (in July 2016), PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita (both in August 2017), Nintendo Switch (in September 2018), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S (both in March 2021). The game received positive reviews for its thematic material, intuitive battle system, originality, story, dialogue, and characters. The game has sold over one million copies and received numerous awards and nominations. Several publications and conventions have named Undertale as their "game of the year". The first chapter of a closely related game, Deltarune, was released in October 2018.
