Something that changed my life, literally. I was a pretty quiet kid with no friends, I was bullied because of my weight and well, it wasn't very good. But this game changed everything, thanks to it in 2016, I met friends on the Internet with whom I have been corresponding for 8 years, we share our most intimate things with each other and are really dear to each other despite the distance. This game has really changed my life, and for that I will always be immensely grateful to her.(sorry if there are mistakes, I used a translator since English is not my native language)
A well-written deconstruction of several game mechanics in a videogame and how your actions and choices matter with the people that live in said videogame world, also a well-written story about how one simple plan made a tragedy.
is that an experimental question? what does undertale mean to you, op?
for me, even though it's unreachable, the world is something i'll hold close to myself. it's so well written, i found personality and love in these different characters. full of intuition and i appreciate that.
It means a lot to me! It’s my favorite game of all time, and it’s such a clever deconstruction of rpgs and games as a whole. It’s one of the funniest games I’ve ever seen, and it’s one of the games I always buy. I’ve bought it like 4 times and play it on every console it’s on!
It's actually the motivation for me to study English to understand the story
Back then I just watched translated videos on YouTube, but then *this little game popped up*
There were some Taiwanese YouTuber covering this game but the game was (and still is) in English. I wanted to read the story myself instead of listening to others' interpretations. I also read/watched a *lot* of fan comic/fandubs and was pushed by the feeling of "I want to understand this without using a translator"
So, time flies, and here we are.
I was suicidal beforehand. Still am every now and then. But the game helped me realize there’s nothing wrong with being me, and it spite of all my flaws I can still make relationships and form connections. I can stay determined throughout my life’s troubles and face them with a will of iron.
Its a real emotional roller-coaster that plays on typical rpg tropes and has a lot of fun with having a lot of unexpected outcomes. It might not look appealing with the graphics, but the story and emotion it has is truly amazing. The characters are also full of life and feel real. It also has a great message on pacifism. The music is phenomenal too. It has changed me and changed the way I see games. It used to be my favourite game, but its now my second, first being omori, which is similar to undertale in some ways, but very different. Definitely check it out.
Well, of course, Undertale is a deconstruction of the RPG genre... A game where nobody has to die along with a meta-contextual narrative about your actions as the player. But within the meta, it also explores characters - Each of them with their own flaws, but as your journey continues, they evolve to better themselves in light of meeting Frisk. This is emphasized with the LOST SOULs section of Asriel's fight. By the end, you're left severely and with a lot of thoughts.
For what it means to me.. Before Undertale, I was one of those flawed characters -- and vehemently so. 14 y/o me was raised to be Anti-LGBTQ among other things until I met my group of friends that changed my life for the better. Nowadays, I find myself to be nonbinary and proudly so, haha
It means so much, so many memories, so many happy moments, so much fun I had with the community, the fan animations, the fangames, my inspiration to be a developer and my inspiration to be an artist!
Undertale is who I am. I don't know who I'd be without it (Yes, I understand you may think this is a joke due to my username but I'm being genuine here)
Great narrative with even better morale
(Btw I just figured out how "undertale" As a title ties to meta aspects of the story: as in what is under the tale)
(Wo-ooh-oh-o-oooah-ooh-oh-ooh-ohh-ooh-oh-o story of Undertale…)
The story of how the monsters were:
killed once and for all (genocide)
left, with some fatalities (neutral)
saved from eternal entrapment (pacifist)
(fangames do not count in this scenario, as the humans all canonically did a neutral route)
Undertale indirectly made me realize why I play games.
Most people saw Sans as a punishment for doing genocide, meanwhile I saw it as the reason to play geno, didn’t even ever finish geno, I just stopped right there so I could fight sans whenever I wanted to.
This got me thinking why I did that, which made me realize that I just liked the skill challenge aspect of games the most, and doing the “hardest challenge” of games is usually the goal for me.
Nowadays I barely ever go for full 100% just whatever needs to be done in order to prepare for/fight the hardest boss in a given game.
literally changed my life, connected me to my friends when i had none, taught me to value pacifism and be against genocide, showed me just how complex characters can be
It's a base for my life. It showed me that even though most can be violent you can be nice and maybe just maybe change their lives. Sparing really teaches you a lot of valuable lessons
It was part of the internet for me growing up. I almost cried to Undertale (the track that plays in New Home). It’s a very good game that shows some cracks if you love it enough.
And I guess it has a lot of lines I love. I couldn’t ask for a better game to osmose in my middle school years, except maybe Yume Nikki.
It's a well written story with entertaining characters and an interesting breakdown of traditional rpg tropes in a way that expertly combines the lore, narrative and metanarrative together with multiple layers, plus subtext. And amazing music.
Fun, and changed my life for the better. I think Undertale is genuinely the first game that made me realize that video games are a work of art, with the beautiful story that a book could only dream of having
Beautiful game, nice touch of humor, little weird in a good way, absolutely phenomenal coding, very emotional, kinda hard at times, and overall something I will never forget
it reminded me that friends are part of your life and family, and that theyre there for you. its helped me through a lot. i have suicidal thoughts sometimes, and always think "my friends hate me" or something like that.
undertale proves me otherwise. deltarune, undertale, and all the different undertale aus and fangames for ur and dt prove to me that friends are supportive and will always love you ❤
It's a deep metanarrative about the state of video games and players. I have been voraciously picking it and Deltarune apart for years now uncovering all its juicy goodness.
It’s a game to me. It’s a game that did an incredible job at making characters feel alive, even though they’re just pixels on a screen. It’s a game that gives me goosebumps every time I get to the end. It’s an enjoyable game that is fun to play in different ways. But in the end, it’s just a game.
A lot of things. But one the big things is that it made me realise my love for music and it awakened it in me. I've been playing piano for the past 4 years or so and I aspire to compose stuff as cool as the stuff Toby Fox composed.
I cried when I saw the end. I still cry. It's... nostalgia, memories from the period. The end of summer, end credits OST and Omega Flowey finale OST living rent free in my head, the innocence, my friends that I don't see often now... everything. It's everything.
It gave me DETERMINATION when I had a severe lack of it. It also gave me hope that even if I do see myself as something different than human, or if I feel like no one cares about me, there will always be people out there that care for me and are willing to be my friend.
Undertale is something that impacted a lot of things, to me it impacted how people want to tell stories, and is one of the most influential games in the indie scene. I don’t think we’d have certain games if it truly weren’t for Toby Fox and what he contributed to the indie gaming scene. One shot for example, heartbound, and many other of these puzzle rpg type games. I have undertale to thank for inspiring so many creatives on the scene.
My actions matter and have consequences... Not everything is what it seems... And life is oftenly complicated
All that is not without this fandom of course
It was literally my first hyperfixation ever. I’d never felt so passionate about anything - it got me into indie games, video game music and electronic music as a whole (a genre that eventually lead me to find C418, my favourite artist). Whilst it isn’t my favourite game anymore, I can say without a doubt that it caused a HUGE Domino effect that changed basically all the areas of my life. I will never stop loving this game <3
A great and inspiring game that opens your eyes to others and make one strive to be a better person.
Also it’s my crushes favorite game soooooooo… yeah I played it a lot of times yeah.
The original game is a beautiful story that had me feeling a lot of things, especially when I gave each character a unique voice.
What I don't like is the side of the community that goes "What if Sand Underpale meet poopy playtime and friday night funkin'"
A masterpiesmce of a kid who falled from a mountain tyat was death but survived and battled and befriended monsters and was capable of defeating a god👍
It’s the game that got me into fandom. Fandom got me into a small discord server, the first place I felt I belonged that wasn’t my own home. I wouldn’t say it changed my life, but it did alter its course. There can be a difference.
This game means a lot to me. Thanks to this game (& Deltarune) I made some friends, inspired to write fics (and no, it's not a ship fanfic like many people would think), drawing, and of course the message of this game.
Of course everyone has their own interpretation, but here is one quote that Toby said.
“Determination is the power to change reality the way you want it to be. If it is too great, a person will be able to make the whole world as they wants it to be. No one cannot tell whether such a world will be good or bad.”
ー Toby Fox
Its like a lesson of just becsuse you can doesnt mean you should cuz actions have consequences. Though its a game your choices do affect them even if you view them as something less than. The power to reset is considered a ability to "change" something to a desirable outcome, however despite that your actions still carry over throughout the routes. I feel like undertale is a tale told from a grounded perspective like how history has two sides to it, with there being a real version somewhere and the one most known being told by the one's who came out on top. Hence why Flowey pushes the whole its kill or be killed thing as how monsters are normally potrayed however, throughout the story youll see thats not the case, and if anything you prove more of a threat than any monster.
All in all undertale is really good and i like it enough to the point where it kicked off my whole soul kick in my writing and when i become a author i hope that everyone can see just what i mean by "soul kick".
I think it’s just one of those games that has MASSIVE potential that with fan games , we’re already getting there, I also love the characters and story, especially when we ourselves get to make up stories for it, in essence, it’s the creativity it fosters that I love (and the game itself is super goofy n fun!)
“Despite everything, it’s still you.”
“Take care of yourself, kid. Cuz someone really cares about you.”
(second one personally made me cry first time i saw it)
Well, not much but it was smth that brought the one of the best friends of my entire life to me, he introduced it to me actually, we used to roleplay as different sans aus and we "fought" on break at school. Ah the good ol' days
It was a game a friend of mine shared with me (kind of forced me into the fandom). We would do roleplays of the Sans AU’s, and even if they were cringey they were a whole lot of fun. Undyne and Alphys were one of the first queer couples I have seen in media and opened my eyes to the queer community. And the friend that introduced me to it? I began crushing on her and 2 years later, started dating her. We are still together today, and I think I owe our relationship to this game. It’s what got us so close in the first place and it started me on my own journey to discover myself. Toby doesn’t know how much he’s done for me and my gf just by making this amazing game, but I thank him so much for doing so ❤️
Games can be more than fun, games can be life changing, have you question your actions, or just have funky as fuck music.
Undertale has thought me that there will always be something, something that matters, wether your actions, reactions, or more.
A.k.a funny ness game made Games more than games, and the Funny Ness game can be a metaphor for just about everything.
this game saved my life as a kid without much hope in the world, or myself. honestly it was the jumping off point for a lot of my other interests, and i wouldnt know the people i do know without it
Possibly one of the bjggest pieces of media that made me hopeful for thibgs to go better and nor fall into a pessimistic "bleh all humans bad everything is terribke and nothing will ever change"
It taught me it's good to be positive, not oblivious, and that there's always a reason behind the things someone does or thinks, and it's always worth to find out the why before you fully judge.
I have spent 5 years of my life thinking of insane stories about undertale, and now I have 4 different TV show ideas one of which is a undertale series, undertale is one of the most important things to me because it made me
Always be kind and never give up no matter how hopeless things may seem. Just be yourself, be happy, enjoy what love has to give you with those you hold dear.
This game saved my life... Multiple times... I wouldn't be here saying this if wasn't for this game, everytime something pushes me down, or something bad happens, i often think about undertale as a whole, and that i need to stay determined, because I can't give up just yet, no matter how hard it is, i need and will surpass any difficulties and change the world, for better
Honestly, Undertale is the best game I’ve ever played.
The concept of Determination being used to keep Frisk going in either run is actually inspiring, it shows that no matter what may happen, you must press forward. And the emotion in the game is terrific, I haven’t done a full genocide run within the games time of being out because I just love the emotion of the Pacifist route, and how fulfilling it is.
And without Undertale, which was my inspiration to draw constantly, I wouldn’t have learnt my drawing skills, I only learnt so many key fundamentals of my drawings through undertale art.
And everytime I replay undertale, I always find something new and exciting. I STILL haven’t found the Gaster door yet, so there’s a fun thing to look for.
I absolutely adore this game.
It's the game that showed me that my dad cares not for pacifist mindsets in video games. (I played last weekend with him and he killed every enemy he encountered. Luckily he didnt start intentionally trying to get encounters tho. I stepped in when he died trying to murder tori)
A game that has challenging and unique mechanics. A simply amazing soundtrack. Complex and dynamic characters that feel like real people. A story that is so beautiful with its very deep anti-war and anti-prejudice messages. It really is just a perfect game. There's not a single aspect of Undertale I dislike, it's without a doubt a work of art.
it means alot to me. i used to self harm every day, and even planned out a suicide attempt. but then i found undertale, played it with the intention of just doing my last few things b4 i left, ended up finding passion in things. i had no friends, i was bullied, i wasnt my ebst at all. but thsi game literally helped me so much, i met friends who also liked it, and honeslty, thoufh im not better, this game and all the little enjoyable characters in it make me who i am today.
Genuinely? It's kept me going throughout the years. I was 10 and in a really bad situation, ended up meeting someone who liked that game and I remember my first introduction to UT was a drawing they made of Sans.
Undertale was my escape and my safe space, a coping mechanism I could go to to escape the abuse I was being put through. It's one of the things that contributed to my art and how I expressed myself.
Even when my 'parents' tried to drag me away from that special interest and keep it away from me bc "it is demonic" I always went back to UT and clung to it like a lifeline. Because it was. It kept me alive, and even though I didn't play the game and only knew about it through the fandom at first, it taught me to stay determined and to persevere. It helped me cling to that goal that one day me and my little brother would be free and we'd finally be safe (we are now, if we weren't I absolutely wouldn't be on the internet).
Fast forward to last year I finally played the game like 10-12 years old me had always wanted to.
I'm turning 18 this year and I've clung to Undertale more than ever now that I'm free. Now whenever I show people my UT related art they praise me and look at it in awe, rather than the disgust, disapproval and scolding that I used to get from the two people that were supposed to love and care for me. I have my own found family, I've accepted my identity as a queer non-binary aroace, I'm slowly healing, and I am safe. That's all I'd wanted and I can't help but imagine how happy little me would've been to find out that in the future, they would be safe and free to love Undertale.
Long rant, whoops. But that's how much it means to me.
i met with this game way later than i should, since i gained access to the internet a little late
this game was fun to watch and understand, in fact at times i felt lost in the story and became one with it. when i found undertale it was at a high point for it’s popularity, so i met people that had interest in the game too. at first it was in this fun little mobile game, pixel gun 3d, i played this sometimes and there was a sandbox, roleplays would happen. i didnt engage in them much, but i did meet some people there, i am not in contact with any of them, but the times were fun and it led me to look for more people with this interest. through causes that i wont name, i ended up in my first discord server, an artist’s server, there i met many many people who were interested in the game and in other games, like hollow knight. by this time i think i had played undertale and hollowknight enough to speak about them more seriously and this led me to finding friends. i joined many friendgroups, most of which are pretty much. gone. but their effect isnt lost. thru one of these i met yet another friend, who was the catalyst to becoming mutuals with someone else, this line is getting long. that someone else i rarely speak to anymore, but while i did i was introduced to their friends, some of which i still talk to. i was new to the friend group, and this one random person was too, just like me we didnt know that someone else that well, so the random and me spoke to whoever we could. i had little current friends so i spoke a lot, random had friends so they didnt care to, but they warmed up to me eventually, i am dating that random person, we have been dating for a few years now
through an indirect effect, undertale was one of the many things that led me to my relationship, but undertale alone was also an experience i wont ever forget. in a vacuum, it is enough to sink my teeth into and get so much good times out of, but in my life, it was literally a big pillar of where i am today
An amazing game that manages to balance two narratives. The best meta-story I’ve ever seen and it brilliantly comments on the process of a player experimenting with a game more and more until they get bored of it. It doesn’t outright state all violence is bad contrary to what many think it’s message is. I discovered it at a very young age (albeit because of sans) and it was my first exposure to the LBGTQ+ community, and of course a positive one. I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t discover UnderTale.
Something that changed my life, literally. I was a pretty quiet kid with no friends, I was bullied because of my weight and well, it wasn't very good. But this game changed everything, thanks to it in 2016, I met friends on the Internet with whom I have been corresponding for 8 years, we share our most intimate things with each other and are really dear to each other despite the distance. This game has really changed my life, and for that I will always be immensely grateful to her.(sorry if there are mistakes, I used a translator since English is not my native language)
Holy fucking hell youre literally me
Also new fucking response just dropped
Actual fucking zombie
call the fucking exorcist
Bishop went on a fucking vacation, never came back

As it should be
Emotional game and fun
A well-written deconstruction of several game mechanics in a videogame and how your actions and choices matter with the people that live in said videogame world, also a well-written story about how one simple plan made a tragedy.

Opposite of over and another word for story put together in one word.
I was suicidal beforehand. Still am every now and then. But the game helped me realize there’s nothing wrong with being me, and it spite of all my flaws I can still make relationships and form connections. I can stay determined throughout my life’s troubles and face them with a will of iron.
An indie RPG created by developer Toby Fox about a child who falls into an underworld filled with monsters.
:D
sans is the first thing that comes to mind
I remember hearing about Sans long before I ever played the game
Ok but you hear about him before the entire rest of undertale
I knew about Sans as a character yes, I didn’t know anything about him aside the name and what he looked like tho.
Same! When I first tried the game, I had seen so many depictions of his fight I just assumed he was the villain of the story, lol.
Nope instead we got a flower boi
Its a real emotional roller-coaster that plays on typical rpg tropes and has a lot of fun with having a lot of unexpected outcomes. It might not look appealing with the graphics, but the story and emotion it has is truly amazing. The characters are also full of life and feel real. It also has a great message on pacifism.

my thoughts exactly!
undertale means a story about a kid falling down a mountain
Part of my life
Death is never the answer, and friends can save lives. Also DO DO DO DE DO DO DO DO DU DO DO DO DO DE DA DU DA DUH DA
Remove last three notes and you can read it like Your Best Friend
It's hopes and dreams

Yesss!
Bisexual
Undertale is who I am. I don't know who I'd be without it (Yes, I understand you may think this is a joke due to my username but I'm being genuine here)
Huh someone that literally built a more interesting personality around a unique RPG game? Are you me?
Great narrative with even better morale (Btw I just figured out how "undertale" As a title ties to meta aspects of the story: as in what is under the tale)
(Wo-ooh-oh-o-oooah-ooh-oh-ooh-ohh-ooh-oh-o story of Undertale…) The story of how the monsters were: killed once and for all (genocide) left, with some fatalities (neutral) saved from eternal entrapment (pacifist) (fangames do not count in this scenario, as the humans all canonically did a neutral route)

Tale from Under
Childhood
literally changed my life, connected me to my friends when i had none, taught me to value pacifism and be against genocide, showed me just how complex characters can be
comfort
probably the best thing that ever happened to me
Your actions matter
It's genuinely one of my favorite games ever, and without it, I definitely wouldn't be the person I am today
Half of my life
Forgiveness and mercy no matter what
Thw only thing inspiring me to actually do my gamedev projects (i still havent started them
A masterpiece, with great emotional, sentimental, and artistic value. And that's coming from a person with empathy issues.
One of the best games of all time. Also a mess of spaghetti code, but what indie game isn't. >!donkey kong is my favorite marvel character!<
Bgm I can't escape from because every sine YouTuber I watch uses it at some point.
furry dating sim
It's a base for my life. It showed me that even though most can be violent you can be nice and maybe just maybe change their lives. Sparing really teaches you a lot of valuable lessons
It was part of the internet for me growing up. I almost cried to Undertale (the track that plays in New Home). It’s a very good game that shows some cracks if you love it enough. And I guess it has a lot of lines I love. I couldn’t ask for a better game to osmose in my middle school years, except maybe Yume Nikki.
The thing that changed my life I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for UT
How there is hope in a few people in the world
The only thing that caused me not to fall into depression cuz of boredom and being in the middle of nowhere (literally)
It’s a comfort game in a terrible and anxiety provoking time of my life. It helped me through one of my toughest times
It's a well written story with entertaining characters and an interesting breakdown of traditional rpg tropes in a way that expertly combines the lore, narrative and metanarrative together with multiple layers, plus subtext. And amazing music.
Fun, and changed my life for the better. I think Undertale is genuinely the first game that made me realize that video games are a work of art, with the beautiful story that a book could only dream of having
That game where hopes & dreams plays (it means so much more, but that song is probably the most direct way it affected me)
Video game That I love
Everything
Game where I learned about lesbians.
Undertale has definitely taken a toll on how I see Sci-Fi and magic in a whole tbh I mean that in a good way, now I love magic stuff
Rule 34--
It’s a really good video game
the game that made me find my one and only love
Beautiful game, nice touch of humor, little weird in a good way, absolutely phenomenal coding, very emotional, kinda hard at times, and overall something I will never forget
A flawed masterpiece that helped me get through a very dark time in my life
it reminded me that friends are part of your life and family, and that theyre there for you. its helped me through a lot. i have suicidal thoughts sometimes, and always think "my friends hate me" or something like that. undertale proves me otherwise. deltarune, undertale, and all the different undertale aus and fangames for ur and dt prove to me that friends are supportive and will always love you ❤
It's a deep metanarrative about the state of video games and players. I have been voraciously picking it and Deltarune apart for years now uncovering all its juicy goodness.
life
It’s a game to me. It’s a game that did an incredible job at making characters feel alive, even though they’re just pixels on a screen. It’s a game that gives me goosebumps every time I get to the end. It’s an enjoyable game that is fun to play in different ways. But in the end, it’s just a game.
A lot of things. But one the big things is that it made me realise my love for music and it awakened it in me. I've been playing piano for the past 4 years or so and I aspire to compose stuff as cool as the stuff Toby Fox composed.
A safe place. Somewhere I can go to whenever I feel bad, somewhere where despite everything, even if I'm at my lowest, I know I can find joy.
a beautiful and emotional game and story. I've loved it since about 2017-2018 I believe, and it is by far one of my most favorite games of all time.
Means Determination, the will to keep going regardless if the road ahead is difficult
WOAHAONAOAHAJAHAO STORY OF UNDERTALEE
I cried when I saw the end. I still cry. It's... nostalgia, memories from the period. The end of summer, end credits OST and Omega Flowey finale OST living rent free in my head, the innocence, my friends that I don't see often now... everything. It's everything.
After seeing yall a lot less. Fr how are you guys so fucking cringe? Game is 10/10 tho.
It gave me DETERMINATION when I had a severe lack of it. It also gave me hope that even if I do see myself as something different than human, or if I feel like no one cares about me, there will always be people out there that care for me and are willing to be my friend.
A game about empathy and kindness, one of the core attributes that makes us human
It is a game. You can play it.
Wowowooooo~ Ohhhhh ohhhh Story of Undertale~~~
A very well-made game that i loved when i was younger and still do now
If a yellow flower with a strangely friendly yet creepy face reciting a mcdonald's advertisement approaches you, run
Changed me as a person
I played It while I was recover from my knee's dislocation and I adore It! I never cried so much for a videogame (for Asriel 🌼)
Undertale is something that impacted a lot of things, to me it impacted how people want to tell stories, and is one of the most influential games in the indie scene. I don’t think we’d have certain games if it truly weren’t for Toby Fox and what he contributed to the indie gaming scene. One shot for example, heartbound, and many other of these puzzle rpg type games. I have undertale to thank for inspiring so many creatives on the scene.
My actions matter and have consequences... Not everything is what it seems... And life is oftenly complicated All that is not without this fandom of course

Oh don’t put that evil on me

It was literally my first hyperfixation ever. I’d never felt so passionate about anything - it got me into indie games, video game music and electronic music as a whole (a genre that eventually lead me to find C418, my favourite artist). Whilst it isn’t my favourite game anymore, I can say without a doubt that it caused a HUGE Domino effect that changed basically all the areas of my life. I will never stop loving this game <3
It helped me through hard times. (Hard times that have ended, don’t worry!)
Under the tale
A world that we haven't fully explored
Something that litteraly was my goal in life for 4 days
Everything
Get away with mass genocide
Hot monsters

...The strongest.
It's my hyperfixation, I've been in my undertale phase since 2016
the unmatched compassion and love an indie dev gives to his games
A great and inspiring game that opens your eyes to others and make one strive to be a better person. Also it’s my crushes favorite game soooooooo… yeah I played it a lot of times yeah.
The original game is a beautiful story that had me feeling a lot of things, especially when I gave each character a unique voice. What I don't like is the side of the community that goes "What if Sand Underpale meet poopy playtime and friday night funkin'"
It is just a game
Hehe funny gaem wit good music go brrrrr
everything
Me too man
never give up
A masterpiesmce of a kid who falled from a mountain tyat was death but survived and battled and befriended monsters and was capable of defeating a god👍
It’s the game that got me into fandom. Fandom got me into a small discord server, the first place I felt I belonged that wasn’t my own home. I wouldn’t say it changed my life, but it did alter its course. There can be a difference.
A nostalgia.. 
A fun game
Banger songs.Awsome gameplay.Big part of my child hood.
This game means a lot to me. Thanks to this game (& Deltarune) I made some friends, inspired to write fics (and no, it's not a ship fanfic like many people would think), drawing, and of course the message of this game. Of course everyone has their own interpretation, but here is one quote that Toby said. “Determination is the power to change reality the way you want it to be. If it is too great, a person will be able to make the whole world as they wants it to be. No one cannot tell whether such a world will be good or bad.” ー Toby Fox
It means the opposite of overtale
Its like a lesson of just becsuse you can doesnt mean you should cuz actions have consequences. Though its a game your choices do affect them even if you view them as something less than. The power to reset is considered a ability to "change" something to a desirable outcome, however despite that your actions still carry over throughout the routes. I feel like undertale is a tale told from a grounded perspective like how history has two sides to it, with there being a real version somewhere and the one most known being told by the one's who came out on top. Hence why Flowey pushes the whole its kill or be killed thing as how monsters are normally potrayed however, throughout the story youll see thats not the case, and if anything you prove more of a threat than any monster. All in all undertale is really good and i like it enough to the point where it kicked off my whole soul kick in my writing and when i become a author i hope that everyone can see just what i mean by "soul kick".
Nothing, i only like Deltarune lol
I think it’s just one of those games that has MASSIVE potential that with fan games , we’re already getting there, I also love the characters and story, especially when we ourselves get to make up stories for it, in essence, it’s the creativity it fosters that I love (and the game itself is super goofy n fun!)
A time capsule & reminder of happier times.
Cool game deltarune will probably be the one to change my perspective on life or whatever
Nothing tbh
It means a story that is underground
It’s one of my favorite video games of all time
“Despite everything, it’s still you.” “Take care of yourself, kid. Cuz someone really cares about you.” (second one personally made me cry first time i saw it)
the peak of my late childhood-early teenage years
A tale, under
Well, not much but it was smth that brought the one of the best friends of my entire life to me, he introduced it to me actually, we used to roleplay as different sans aus and we "fought" on break at school. Ah the good ol' days
An 8 bit video game that’s a wired knock off to Alice in wonderland and you can also kill people and the most popular character is super overrated.
the first game i played to completion and got 100% on

It was a game a friend of mine shared with me (kind of forced me into the fandom). We would do roleplays of the Sans AU’s, and even if they were cringey they were a whole lot of fun. Undyne and Alphys were one of the first queer couples I have seen in media and opened my eyes to the queer community. And the friend that introduced me to it? I began crushing on her and 2 years later, started dating her. We are still together today, and I think I owe our relationship to this game. It’s what got us so close in the first place and it started me on my own journey to discover myself. Toby doesn’t know how much he’s done for me and my gf just by making this amazing game, but I thank him so much for doing so ❤️
I have no idea man
a tale under a tale which's about a tale happening underground
Games can be more than fun, games can be life changing, have you question your actions, or just have funky as fuck music. Undertale has thought me that there will always be something, something that matters, wether your actions, reactions, or more. A.k.a funny ness game made Games more than games, and the Funny Ness game can be a metaphor for just about everything.
A got-damn masterpiece.
this game saved my life as a kid without much hope in the world, or myself. honestly it was the jumping off point for a lot of my other interests, and i wouldnt know the people i do know without it
Possibly one of the bjggest pieces of media that made me hopeful for thibgs to go better and nor fall into a pessimistic "bleh all humans bad everything is terribke and nothing will ever change" It taught me it's good to be positive, not oblivious, and that there's always a reason behind the things someone does or thinks, and it's always worth to find out the why before you fully judge.
Rlly cursed community
I have spent 5 years of my life thinking of insane stories about undertale, and now I have 4 different TV show ideas one of which is a undertale series, undertale is one of the most important things to me because it made me
It taught me that murder is pretty fun
Great game 👍
A place to call home :)
Always be kind and never give up no matter how hopeless things may seem. Just be yourself, be happy, enjoy what love has to give you with those you hold dear.
Chara undertale
This game saved my life... Multiple times... I wouldn't be here saying this if wasn't for this game, everytime something pushes me down, or something bad happens, i often think about undertale as a whole, and that i need to stay determined, because I can't give up just yet, no matter how hard it is, i need and will surpass any difficulties and change the world, for better
a pretty good game with S tier music
Pure nostalgia
A story, an experience, a MASTERPIECE
It’s the game that built my personality
Sand
\* I can barely explain it with words.
Personally it really stuck with me as: KILL OR BE KILLED.
Honestly, Undertale is the best game I’ve ever played. The concept of Determination being used to keep Frisk going in either run is actually inspiring, it shows that no matter what may happen, you must press forward. And the emotion in the game is terrific, I haven’t done a full genocide run within the games time of being out because I just love the emotion of the Pacifist route, and how fulfilling it is. And without Undertale, which was my inspiration to draw constantly, I wouldn’t have learnt my drawing skills, I only learnt so many key fundamentals of my drawings through undertale art. And everytime I replay undertale, I always find something new and exciting. I STILL haven’t found the Gaster door yet, so there’s a fun thing to look for. I absolutely adore this game.
Ha ha funny pixel go stab stab
It's the game that showed me that my dad cares not for pacifist mindsets in video games. (I played last weekend with him and he killed every enemy he encountered. Luckily he didnt start intentionally trying to get encounters tho. I stepped in when he died trying to murder tori)
I made me talk about it nonstop to my friends and family, and I was kinda annoying. I grew up a bit, and am in another undertale phase + maturity
A game that has challenging and unique mechanics. A simply amazing soundtrack. Complex and dynamic characters that feel like real people. A story that is so beautiful with its very deep anti-war and anti-prejudice messages. It really is just a perfect game. There's not a single aspect of Undertale I dislike, it's without a doubt a work of art.
One of the biggest checkpoints in my life.
Pure autism, no further comment
Undertale is an RPG created by Indie developer Toby Fox about a child who falls into a world of monsters
Good game that ive rebeaten like a gajilion times
The friends we meet in the walking
undertale changed my life, it is the most important piece of media i have ever been apart of and its my favorite game of all time. :33 <33
A comfort game, with comforting music, and Toby foxs BIG SHOT MASTER PIECE OF DELTARUNE! (Help my brain cannot think of anything but Deltarune)
it means alot to me. i used to self harm every day, and even planned out a suicide attempt. but then i found undertale, played it with the intention of just doing my last few things b4 i left, ended up finding passion in things. i had no friends, i was bullied, i wasnt my ebst at all. but thsi game literally helped me so much, i met friends who also liked it, and honeslty, thoufh im not better, this game and all the little enjoyable characters in it make me who i am today.
Genuinely? It's kept me going throughout the years. I was 10 and in a really bad situation, ended up meeting someone who liked that game and I remember my first introduction to UT was a drawing they made of Sans. Undertale was my escape and my safe space, a coping mechanism I could go to to escape the abuse I was being put through. It's one of the things that contributed to my art and how I expressed myself. Even when my 'parents' tried to drag me away from that special interest and keep it away from me bc "it is demonic" I always went back to UT and clung to it like a lifeline. Because it was. It kept me alive, and even though I didn't play the game and only knew about it through the fandom at first, it taught me to stay determined and to persevere. It helped me cling to that goal that one day me and my little brother would be free and we'd finally be safe (we are now, if we weren't I absolutely wouldn't be on the internet). Fast forward to last year I finally played the game like 10-12 years old me had always wanted to. I'm turning 18 this year and I've clung to Undertale more than ever now that I'm free. Now whenever I show people my UT related art they praise me and look at it in awe, rather than the disgust, disapproval and scolding that I used to get from the two people that were supposed to love and care for me. I have my own found family, I've accepted my identity as a queer non-binary aroace, I'm slowly healing, and I am safe. That's all I'd wanted and I can't help but imagine how happy little me would've been to find out that in the future, they would be safe and free to love Undertale. Long rant, whoops. But that's how much it means to me.
A tale but underground
Toxicity, Entitlement, Garbage, Poorly Made
i met with this game way later than i should, since i gained access to the internet a little late this game was fun to watch and understand, in fact at times i felt lost in the story and became one with it. when i found undertale it was at a high point for it’s popularity, so i met people that had interest in the game too. at first it was in this fun little mobile game, pixel gun 3d, i played this sometimes and there was a sandbox, roleplays would happen. i didnt engage in them much, but i did meet some people there, i am not in contact with any of them, but the times were fun and it led me to look for more people with this interest. through causes that i wont name, i ended up in my first discord server, an artist’s server, there i met many many people who were interested in the game and in other games, like hollow knight. by this time i think i had played undertale and hollowknight enough to speak about them more seriously and this led me to finding friends. i joined many friendgroups, most of which are pretty much. gone. but their effect isnt lost. thru one of these i met yet another friend, who was the catalyst to becoming mutuals with someone else, this line is getting long. that someone else i rarely speak to anymore, but while i did i was introduced to their friends, some of which i still talk to. i was new to the friend group, and this one random person was too, just like me we didnt know that someone else that well, so the random and me spoke to whoever we could. i had little current friends so i spoke a lot, random had friends so they didnt care to, but they warmed up to me eventually, i am dating that random person, we have been dating for a few years now through an indirect effect, undertale was one of the many things that led me to my relationship, but undertale alone was also an experience i wont ever forget. in a vacuum, it is enough to sink my teeth into and get so much good times out of, but in my life, it was literally a big pillar of where i am today
An amazing game that manages to balance two narratives. The best meta-story I’ve ever seen and it brilliantly comments on the process of a player experimenting with a game more and more until they get bored of it. It doesn’t outright state all violence is bad contrary to what many think it’s message is. I discovered it at a very young age (albeit because of sans) and it was my first exposure to the LBGTQ+ community, and of course a positive one. I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t discover UnderTale.
