American <a href="/wiki/Indie_developer" class="mw-redirect" title="Indie developer">indie developer</a> <a href="/wiki/Toby_Fox" title="Toby Fox">Toby Fox</a>. The player controls a child who has fallen into the Underground: a large, secluded region under the surface of the Earth, separated by a magical barrier. The player meets various monsters during the journey back to the surface, some of which may engage in combat. The combat system involves the player navigating through mini-<a href="/wiki/Bullet_hell" title="Bullet hell">bullet hell</a> attacks by the opponent. They can opt to pacify or subdue monsters in order to spare them instead of killing them. These choices affect the game, with the dialogue, characters, and story changing based on outcomes. Outside of artwork and character designs by <a href="/wiki/Temmie_Chang" title="Temmie Chang">Temmie Chang</a> and other guest designers, Fox developed the entirety of the game by himself, including the script and music. The game took inspiration from several sources, including the <a href="/wiki/Brandish_(series)" title="Brandish (series)">Brandish</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mario_%26_Luigi" title="Mario & Luigi">Mario & Luigi</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mother_(video_game_series)" title="Mother (video game series)">Mother</a> role-playing game series, bullet hell shooter series <a href="/wiki/Touhou_Project" title="Touhou Project">Touhou Project</a>, role-playing game <a href="/wiki/Moon:_Remix_RPG_Adventure" title="Moon: Remix RPG Adventure">Moon: Remix RPG Adventure</a>, and British comedy show <a href="/wiki/Mr._Bean" title="Mr. Bean">Mr. Bean</a>. Undertale was originally meant to be two hours in length and was set to be released in mid-2014, but experienced delays. The game was released for <a href="/wiki/OS_X" class="mw-redirect" title="OS X">OS X</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windows" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows">Windows</a> in September 2015. It was also ported to <a href="/wiki/Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> in July 2016, <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_4" title="PlayStation 4">PlayStation 4</a> and <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_Vita" title="PlayStation Vita">PlayStation Vita</a> in August 2017, the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Switch" title="Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a> in September 2018, and <a href="/wiki/Xbox_One" title="Xbox One">Xbox One</a> in March 2021. The game was acclaimed for its thematic material, intuitive combat system, musical score, originality, story, dialogue, and characters; however, the reaction to its art style was mixed. The game has sold at least five million copies and was nominated for multiple accolades and awards. Several <a href="/wiki/Gaming_publications" class="mw-redirect" title="Gaming publications">gaming publications</a> and conventions listed Undertale as <a href="/wiki/Game_of_the_year" class="mw-redirect" title="Game of the year">game of the year</a>, and others have since listed it as one of the <a href="/wiki/Greatest_video_games_ever_made" class="mw-redirect" title="Greatest video games ever made">greatest video games ever made</a>. Two chapters of a related game, <a href="/wiki/Deltarune" title="Deltarune">Deltarune</a>, were released in 2018 and 2021. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gameplay">Gameplay</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Undertale_Combat_Example.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Fighting Toriel in Undertale.

The Underground is sealed from the surface by a magic barrier with a singular gap at Mount Ebott.<a href="#cite_note-Intro-19">[15]</a> A human child falls into the Underground from Mount Ebott and encounters <a href="/wiki/Flowey" title="Flowey">Flowey</a>, a sentient flower who teaches the player the game's mechanics and lies about "LV", or "LOVE", in an attempt to kill them. The human is rescued by <a href="/wiki/Toriel" title="Toriel">Toriel</a>, a motherly goat-like monster, who teaches them how to survive conflict in the Underground without killing. She intends to adopt the human, wanting to protect them from <a href="/wiki/Asgore" title="Asgore">Asgore</a>, the king of the Underground. The human eventually leaves Toriel to search for Asgore's castle, which contains the barrier to the surface world. They encounter several monsters, such as the skeletons <a href="/wiki/Sans_(Undertale)" title="Sans (Undertale)">Sans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Papyrus_(Undertale)" title="Papyrus (Undertale)">Papyrus</a>, two brothers who act as sentries for the Snowdin forest; <a href="/wiki/Undyne" title="Undyne">Undyne</a>, the head of the royal guard; <a href="/wiki/Alphys" title="Alphys">Alphys</a>, the kingdom's royal scientist; and <a href="/wiki/Mettaton" class="mw-redirect" title="Mettaton">Mettaton</a>, a robotic television host Alphys created. Most of the monsters are fought, with the human choosing whether to kill them or to spare and possibly befriend the monster. During their travels, the human learns that many years ago, Asriel, the son of Asgore and Toriel, befriended the first human who fell into the Underground. When the child abruptly died, Asriel used the child's soul to pass through the barrier, intending to return the body to the surface. The humans living there attacked and killed Asriel, causing Asgore to declare war. In the present day, Asgore has collected six souls from fallen humans, of which he needs one more to destroy the barrier. The game's ending depends on how the player handles encounters with monsters.<a href="#cite_note-polygon_endings-20">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-Polygon_Gameplay-15">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[e]</a> If the player completes a playthrough without killing any monsters (or killed some but not all of the monsters) they experience the "Neutral" ending. The human arrives at Asgore's castle and is forced to fight him. Sans stops the human before their confrontation, revealing that the human's "LOVE" and "EXP" are <a href="/wiki/Acronym" title="Acronym">acronyms</a> for "level of violence" and "execution points", respectively.<a href="#cite_note-25">[f]</a> Sans judges the human based on their accumulated "LOVE" and "EXP". The human then fights Asgore, but Flowey interrupts, killing Asgore, stealing the human souls and transforming into a more powerful form with their power. During this battle, the human calls the souls for help in weakening Flowey. After the battle, the human leaves the Underground. They then receive a phone call from Sans, detailing the state of the Underground after the human's departure, with the specifics depending on who was killed or spared. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pacifist">Pacifist</h3></div> If the player kills no monsters before completing a "Neutral" ending, they can reload their <a href="/wiki/Saved_game" title="Saved game">saved game</a> to complete the "Pacifist" ending.<a href="#cite_note-avclub-22">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-polygon_endings-20">[16]</a> Flowey is revealed to be a <a href="/wiki/Reincarnation" title="Reincarnation">reincarnation</a> of Asriel accidentally created by Alphys's experiments. During the fight with Asgore, Toriel stops the battle and is joined by the other monsters the human befriended. Flowey ambushes the group, absorbing the souls of all the humans and monsters in order to take an older Asriel's form. During the ensuing fight, the human manages to connect with the souls of their friends, and eventually defeats Asriel: He reverts to his child form, destroys the barrier, and expresses remorse for his actions before leaving, revealing the human's true name as <a href="/wiki/Frisk_(Undertale)" class="mw-redirect" title="Frisk (Undertale)">Frisk</a>.

This involves continuously triggering random encounters in each area until no more monsters remain. Going down this route changes many aspects of the game: the game's soundtrack becomes more ominous, and most other characters are absent from the Overworld, having evacuated to escape the player's rampage.

He also did not wish to introduce <a href="/wiki/Fetch_quest" class="mw-redirect" title="Fetch quest">fetch quests</a>, as they involve backtracking, which he dislikes.<a href="#cite_note-GI_Show-27">[21]</a> In terms of the game's difficulty, Fox ensured that it was easy and enjoyable.

He felt that the game's difficulty was optimal, particularly considering the complications involved in adding another difficulty setting.<a href="#cite_note-38">[32]</a> The game's dialogue system was inspired by <a href="/wiki/Shin_Megami_Tensei_(video_game)" title="Shin Megami Tensei (video game)">Shin Megami Tensei</a> (1992),<a href="#cite_note-Escapist-36">[30]</a> particularly the gameplay mechanic whereby players can talk to monsters to avoid conflict. Fox intended to expand upon this mechanic, as failing to negotiate resulted in a requirement to fight. "I want to create a system that satisfied my urge for talking to monsters", he said.<a href="#cite_note-Boing_Boing-9">[5]</a> When he began developing this mechanic, the concept of completing the game without killing any enemies "just evolved naturally".<a href="#cite_note-IndieGames_Thinking-39">[33]</a> However, he never considered removing the option to fight throughout development.<a href="#cite_note-IndieGames_Thinking-39">[33]</a> When questioned on the difficulty of playing the game without killing, Fox responded that it is "the crux of one of the major themes of this game", asking players to think about it themselves.<a href="#cite_note-IndieGames_Thinking-39">[33]</a> Despite not having played it, Fox was inspired by the concepts of <a href="/wiki/Moon:_Remix_RPG_Adventure" title="Moon: Remix RPG Adventure">Moon: Remix RPG Adventure</a> (1997), which involved the player repairing the damage of the "Hero" and increasing their "Love Level" by helping people instead of hurting them.<a href="#cite_note-USgamer_Moon-40">[34]</a> Fox also cited <a href="/wiki/Cave_Story" title="Cave Story">Cave Story</a> (2004) as a general inspiration for the game.<a href="#cite_note-4gamer-30">[24]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Writing">Writing</h3></div> According to Fox, the "idea of being trapped in an underground world" was inspired by the video game <a href="/wiki/Brandish_(video_game)" title="Brandish (video game)">Brandish</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Undertale_Art_Book-34">[28]</a> Fox was partly influenced by the silliness of <a href="/wiki/Internet_culture" title="Internet culture">internet culture</a>, as well as comedy shows like <a href="/wiki/Mr._Bean" title="Mr. Bean">Mr. Bean</a>.<a href="#cite_note-GI_Show-27">[21]</a>: 1:27:30  He was also inspired by the unsettling atmosphere of EarthBound.<a href="#cite_note-GI_Show-27">[21]</a> Fox's desire to "subvert concepts that go unquestioned in many games" further influenced Undertale's development.<a href="#cite_note-IndieGames_Thinking-39">[33]</a> Fox found that the writing became easier after establishing a character's voice and mood.
