Undertale is the indie title that took the internet by storm when it was released in 2015, it also decoded the traditional RPG genre. It's a captivating 2D pixel art action adventure experience that takes players in control of a child who falls into an underworld full of mysterious sentient monsters. They have to find a way out or risk being trapped there forever.
Undertale encourages multiple playthroughs. Killing enemies is not necessary as players can negotiate to escape danger using a unique combat system and then kill them kindly by making friends, while forgiving them. There are many endings depending on the route the player wants to take, how they interact with the environment, and how secretly ruthless they are.
