Undertale
Welcome to UNDERTALE. In this RPG, you control a human who falls underground into the world of monsters. Now you must find your way out… or stay trapped forever. Features: Killing is unnecessary: negotiate out of danger using the unique battle system. Time your attacks for extra damage, then dodge enemy attacks in a style reminiscent of top-down shooters. Original art and soundtrack brimming with personality. Soulful, character-rich story with an emphasis on humor. Created mostly by one person. Become friends with all of the bosses! At least 5 dogs. You can date a skeleton. Hmmm… now there are 6 dogs…? Maybe you won't want to date the skeleton. I thought I found a 7th dog, but it was actually just the 3rd dog. If you play this game, can you count the dogs for me…? I'm not good at it.

Toby Fox probably did not expect the amount of love and tears this game would bring to the players, since his own description to advertise the game is unserious; joking about dating skeletons and dogs appearances. Yet the simplicity of his production reached millions of hearts in a way few games ever do.
At first glance, Undertale seems like a quirky, retro-style puzzle game . But it quickly becomes something more; a story about kindness, choice, and the consequences of your actions. It doesn’t just let you spare your enemies; it makes you wonder why you would want to hurt them in the first place. And somehow, in its quietest moments, it reaches your heart in the gentlest way.
Soundtracks are fun, super fun, a little sad, heartwarming, nostalgic to many, and so much more. I have a hard time not getting mist-eyed over ost 071 of this game, simply titled “Undertale”. This simple melodious and heartfelt ost is how Undertale feels, and what Undertale is. I retreat my words from earlier, probably Toby DID know how moving this experience would be, it just seems right to assume so, why would the most soul-stirring ost that you cant just simply ignore the tears building up as you listen, share the name of the game?
I can’t believe this game is turning 10 years old this year, it takes me back so long ago, the old memes, the gameplays of many youtubers, people getting mad that Sans was hard to beat, the Amv’s, the AU’s, the AU’s soundtracks, the cringe OC’s that we used to meme about; you couldn’t escape the fandoms best and worst moments, I wonder if we were too judgmental on this cringey phase some in the fandom shared, we were younger, and much were just kids being kids that shared the same passion as the others.
Now we look back with a nostalgic feeling, and i intend to always remember this game for what it was, for what it meant to many and to me, for what it offered and delivered, a fun, heartwarming, inspiring, engaging and beautiful experience, that brought me laughter and tears equally, rage too for many hehe.
Ten years of history and an unforgettable game that will be in our hearts as long as time goes by. Thank you Toby Fox, forever.❤️

This is one of the best pieces of interactive art ever made, if you have not played this. Please do it, just as a little treat.
I first played this game a year after my brother passed away in 2015. I was completely lost and losing my will and love of life, but somehow this little game brought me back from a very dark place. Back then I had to Pirate the game cause my family had no money and I was just a kid. As of today I have gotten this game for 8 people including myself.
Thank you Toby Fox. Thank you for giving the lost teenager a little under 10 years ago a reason to keep going, a piece of media that truly reached my heart. And thank you for working on your big dream of Deltarune. You're art and stories are so important and mean so much to so many people.
Edit: Hey I did not think I needed to say this but a few people now have made comments along the lines of "lol did not even play the game" (That I deleted cause it felt like bloat or ragebaiting)
I have beaten this game over 20 times, mostly 10 years ago when I was a child and could not afford the game and recently through mods like Undertale Connected with my friends and Red and Yellow.
Also Thank you all for your kind words. This community is a real special one. <3

Time is fake. Morality is optional. Started as a kind soul. Ended as a timeline-hopping war criminal (in game).
Started off thinking it was a cute little indie game. Ten minutes in, a goat mom offered me pie and unconditional love. Adorable. Accidentally killed someone? Congrats, now you’re on the Neutral route™. Got the "I'm not mad, just disappointed" speech by a skeleton and emotionally manipulated by a flower. Great.
Cue a reset and with that, True Pacifist. Spared everyone, became besties with a tall skeleton, a tuna with anger issues, a reptilian monster, etc. Got adopted by a goat mom and emotionally destroyed by backstory and friendship speeches. 10/10 therapy session.
Naturally, knowing that every choice I did altered the game, I followed up by murdering everything and everyone. Welcome to the Genocide Route, where you commit atrocities against monsterkind and the music slaps way too hard for how morally bankrupt you are. I defeated a skeleton, so he naturally decided to take my sanity. The game judged me. It remembers - forever.
Tried to be nice again. A red-eyed child decided we’re sharing a save file now - they remember. Cue the Soulless Pacifist run, where although you do everything right, the game remembers. Dust is stuck onto my hands. It'll never leave them.
The flower still laughs.
The save file still breathes.
The pie’s still warm.
Play Undertale, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
Now I sleep with one eye open and hear “MEGALOVANIA” in the walls.
10/10. Would shatter the timeline again.
