Switch box art.

Undertale is a 2-D role-playing game developed and published by Toby Fox for Macintosh and Windows on 2015-09-15. The game was made in GameMaker Studio. Rather than traditional RPG combat sequences, the game uses bullet-hell sequences . It has a very cute, though often dark, story line. It reminds me a lot of Earthbound, only more interesting.

Status

I own this game and have beaten the average ending and the true pacifist ending.
