It is then up to the player to figure how to get home, discover what the king of monsters is plotting, and why the fate of humanity and monsters is in danger. The remaining monsters were banished to underground caverns and have been kept trapped by The Barrier: a powerful one-way magic spell that separates the underground from the surface. Their inferior strength caused the monsters to lose the war. The player takes control of a small child that fell in a cavern hole inside of mountain Ebott accidentally entering an underground world full of Monsters, a race that used to live peacefully alongside humanity until a war broke out between them. The game also gives players the option to either fight monsters until they are defeated, or show them mercy by searching for non-violent methods to defeat them with gameplay being influenced based on these decisions. These defensive segments are often compared to the danmaku gameplay style of Touhou Project. Undertale's gameplay also features top-down shooter segments that involve moving a small hit-box to dodge enemy attacks and bullet patterns. The gameplay of Undertale replaces RPG combat mechanics usually determined by random numbers with a timing mini-game for attacking and critical hits. The game's title "Undertale" is also a shout out towards the indie action-adventure game Cave Story, by which Toby Fox was inspired.
The game's overall style is inspired by games like the Earthbound / Mother Series with the use of animated pixel art and chip-tune music. The game was fully released on September 15th, 2015. Within a week, the game got approved for Steam on January 20th. On January 14th, 2015, Undertale was put up on Steam Greenlight for approval. A month later, on July 24th, Undertale was succesfully funded, meeting all of its stretch goals, with a final amount of $51,124 pledged. During the Kickstarter funding, a demo for the game was released on the game's website. The initial goal of $5,000 was met in less than 24 hours. On June 24th, 2013, Fox created a Kickstarter page for the game Undertale. However, the hack was also criticized for its grimdark story being edgy. This game was praised for its music, gameplay, and use of dark themes and horror elements and was frequently compared to Yume Nikki. He had also previously worked on an Earthbound ROM hack named "Radiation's Halloween Hack" released on October 31st, 2009. Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, is a music composer who had primarily worked on the soundtrack of the webcomic Homestuck.
