    EXPLORING THE WORLD OF UNDERTALE

    Undertale is an independent role-playing game (RPG) that blends elements of adventure, action, and puzzle-solving, developed by Toby Fox.

    Long ago, humans and monsters lived together on the surface. However, following a major conflict, a fierce war broke out between the two sides. Humanity emerged victorious and sealed the monsters underground behind a magical barrier. Many years later, a child climbs Mount Ebott and accidentally falls into the realm where the monsters reside.

    Here, the protagonist meets Flowey, a talking flower with a friendly appearance but who is actually very devious. Later, the protagonist meets Toriel, a kind-hearted monster who provides guidance and helps the child survive underground. As you search for a way out, you will encounter many memorable characters, such as Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, and Asgore.

    GAMEPLAY

    Undertale features a top-down perspective with simple pixel-art graphics. You navigate your character through various areas, interact with the underground’s inhabitants, collect items, and solve puzzles. Throughout your journey, you will frequently encounter dangerous monsters.

    Turn-based combat system

    When a battle begins, a turn-based combat interface appears, offering the following options:

    • Fight: attack your opponent.
    • Act: interact with monsters through specific actions, such as talking to them or discovering their weaknesses.
    • Item: use objects to restore health or gain an advantage during combat.
    • Mercy: end the encounter without defeating or killing your opponent. 

    Endings

    • Neutral Route: this is an ending you can reach by defeating some monsters while sparing others. The outcome depends on which monsters you have defeated and which tasks you have completed.
    • Pacifist Route: involves sparing monsters, building relationships with key characters, and completing specific events. The Pacifist Route leads to a positive ending where humans and monsters have the chance to coexist peacefully.
    • Genocide Route: requires the player to actively eliminate every single monster until no more monsters appear.
