Okay, so, a while ago my friends started talking about this new game. I was quite curious, so I asked them about it. They had mentioned terrible puns, skeletons, and fabulous robots so naturally I was interested. They called this game . . . Undertale.
I was skeptical at first, unsure how this game would go, and assumed it would be something light-hearted, not anything to ponder at night. But then I started playing it. It's a pixelated game, the music at the beginning sounds just a little tinny, so my first thought may have been a little bit disparaging. But the characters! The storyline!
Undertale is a game where you play a child, gender indiscernible, who falls down a hole in Mt. Ebott to where the Monsters live. Now, unlike most video games, you have the option to choose MERCY. You can decide to Spare everyone you come across, every Monster who attacks you, or you can kill everyone. There is also, of course, the middle option. The 'Neutral Route'.
The best parts about this game are the ones you discover by messing around. For instance, you can hack the game and turn up something called 'fun', making strange beings appear. I don't want to give too much away, but the secrets that are hidden in this game are amazing, and they can be relevant to a greater understanding of the story of a character or they can simply be for fun.
What's simply astounding is that one man created this game. One man thought this up. One man put things in this game that will frustrate you just for the hell of it. One man designed songs that may sound eerily similar to each other. One man designed interesting, lovable, sometimes adorable, and often hilarious characters, along with backstories that may just make you cry. His name is Toby Fox, and he brought an amazing game into creation.

From Wikipedia:
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.
