Long ago, humans and monsters lived in harmony, but eventually that peace gave way to war between the two species. The humans emerged victorious and sealed the monsters underground Mt. Ebott, where they reside to this day.

The game tells the story of a young child who investigates a mountainside cavern in Ebott and [[FallingIntoThePlot falls down a deep hole]], awakening on a bed of flowers in a dark and mysterious place. Now the child must find a way back home, encountering all manner of creatures along the way, ranging from friendly to hostile. Unfortunately for the child, [[BigBad King Asgore]], leader of the monsters, desires their soul to break the monsters free, and has ordered his minions to capture them. And as the child soon learns, there is far, far more to this tale than it seems…

->''Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.''

Not to be confused with the similarly-named ''VideoGame/{{Underrail}}''. Despite both games being set underground, ''Underrail'' homages a [[WesternRPG a different sub-genre]] of Role-Playing Game.
