Context

Undertale combines exploration and conversation with battles that ask players to dodge patterns and choose how to respond to opponents. Player choices shape the experience.

Its music, characters, and awareness of game conventions give the story much of its identity.

Examples

  • A player can look for a way to resolve an encounter through conversation and actions instead of attacking.
