''Undertale'' borrows heavily in atmosphere from ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', and uses combat mechanics similar to BulletHell games, where you must dodge enemy projectiles and protect the heart-shaped avatar representing your SOUL. [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism The game's story changes significantly]] depending on how you deal with the monsters you encounter: you can fight and kill them to earn LOVE (LV) and EXP, or figure out how to befriend and show them mercy.

It tells the story of a young child who investigates a mountainside cavern and 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 who try to murder him for being a human. But they're the good guys.

''Undertale'' draws heavily from ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', but instead of using statistical values to resolve enemy attacks, battles play out more like a BulletHell game where you must dodge enemy projectiles and protect the heart-shaped avatar representing your SOUL.
