Who makes Undertale?
Undertale is developed by tobyfox.
Undertale is a role-playing game developed and published by tobyfox, first released in 2015; it came out on Steam on 15 September 2015. It is sold at a one-off price on Steam and the Nintendo eShop, among other stores.
How it plays
Undertale is a role-playing game in which you control a human who falls underground into the world of monsters and has to find a way out, or stay trapped forever.
Its battle system is the main twist: killing is unnecessary, and you can negotiate your way out of danger instead of fighting. When you do attack, timing your hits deals extra damage, and you dodge enemy attacks in a style the developer compares to top-down shooters. It is possible to become friends with all of the bosses.
The story is character-driven with an emphasis on humour, and the game has its own art and soundtrack. It was created mostly by one person. Steam lists it as single-player, and the store page warns that the game contains imagery that may be harmful to players with photosensitive epilepsy.
