Undertale (also stylized as UnderTale or UNDERTALE) is a role-playing video game developed and published by indie developer tobyfox. Creator Toby Fox provided the game's script, design and soundtrack, with additional artwork by Temmie Chang. The game was released for Microsoft Windows and OS X on September 15, 2015.

In Undertale, players control a human child as they navigate the fictional Underground: a large, secluded region underneath the surface of the Earth. The inhabitants of the Underground are called "monsters", a diverse and intelligent group who have been banished from the surface following a war with humanity. The child interacts with many monsters on their quest to return to the surface, with the player making decisions on whether to kill or befriend them. These choices affect the outcome of the game to a large degree, with the dialogue and story outcome changing based on their decisions.

At release, Undertale was acclaimed by reviewers, with praise particularly directed at its writing and characters, and intuitive combat system. The game has sold over 500,000 copies, and was nominated for multiple year-end accolades, including Game of the Year from several gaming publications.

Undertale is a role-playing game that uses a top-down perspective. In the game, players control a child, and complete objectives to progress through the story. Players explore an underground world of towns, villages and dungeons, and are required to solve numerous puzzles on their journey. The underground world is the home of monsters, many of whom can be challenged in combat; players decide to kill or befriend them. The overworld allows players to navigate the world, moving through locales. Save points frequently appear in the world, refilling players' health while saving their progress.
When players meet enemies, they enter a battle system. During battles, players control a small red heart which represents their soul, and must avoid attacks unleashed by the opposing monster in a similar fashion to a bullet hell. As the game progresses, new elements are introduced, such as colored obstacles which require players to remain stationary or move through them, and boss battles which change the way players control the heart. Players may choose to attack the enemy, which involves timed button presses, earning EXP and gold for defeating them. Alternatively, they can use the ACT option to perform non-violent actions, which vary depending on the enemy. If players uses the right actions to respond to the enemy, they can choose to spare them and end the fight without killing them. The game features various story branches and endings depending on whether players choose to kill or spare their enemies; it is possible to clear the game without killing a single enemy.
Monsters will converse with players during battle, and the game updates players on the monster's feelings and actions. Enemy attacks alter based on how players interact with them: should players choose non-violent options, enemy attacks are easy, whereas they become difficult if players choose violent options. The game relies on a number of metafictional elements in both its gameplay and story. When players participate in a boss battle on a second playthrough, the dialogue will be altered depending on actions in previous playthroughs.

Undertale received critical acclaim, and was quickly considered a cult video game by numerous publications. Review aggregator Metacritic calculated an average score of 92 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim", based on 40 reviews. Metacritic ranks the game the third-highest rated Windows game released in 2015, and among the top 25 of all time. Praise was particularly directed at the game's writing, unique characters, and combat system. GameSpot's Tyler Hicks declared it "one of the most progressive and innovative RPGs to come in a long time", and IGN's Kallie Plagge called it "a masterfully crafted experience". By the end of 2015, in a preliminary report by Steam Spy, Undertale was one of the best-selling games on Steam, with 530,343 copies sold.
