Undertale

Undertale is a Role Playing Game by Toby Fox, funded on Kickstarter and released on September 15th, 2015. A demo is available at http://undertale.com/, and a trailer is available here.

Years ago, Humans and Monsters ruled the earth together. One day, war broke out between the two races and humanity emerged victorious, sealing the monsters underground with a magic spell. In the present day, A small child playing in a cave trips and falls down an enormous hole. They wake up on a bed of flowers in a mysterious place...

Undertale draws heavily from Earthbound and Mother 3, but the core gameplay is very different from typical RPGs. Instead of selecting commands and having the computer calculate hits, each enemy attack brings up a smaller arena where the heart-shaped avatar of your soul must dodge projectiles like in Bullet Hell. In battle, the player can choose to FIGHT an enemy or SPARE them.

The game has received critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase has revolved around it, becoming popular among letsplayers. Currently, it is the most well-received video game made on Game Maker.

You can read more about Undertale through the Undertale Wiki, but tread cautiously, as it is chock-full of spoilers.

 * Hello, Insert Name Here: What kind of classic JRPG game would it be without this?
 * Leitmotif: Nearly every song in the game draws from a small pull of recurring melodies.
 * My Beloved Smother: When you first meet, it seems that her character is being built up as this...
 * My God, What Have I Done?: This is how the player is expected to feel when stands before you in the Final Corridor, and proceeds to lay down the truth for you.
 * Nightmare Fuel:
 * One of the endings contains the following monologue from the creepiest character in the game.


 * Obfuscating Stupidity: fits this to a T. Like everyone else you meet, they come off as incredibly goofy and impossible to take seriously, which is why it's all the more startling when they take off the metaphorical mask and speak frankly with you.
