Should players choose to dispose of Sans, you genuinely feel like an awful person.
'Spec Ops: The Line' pulled the same trick in 2012, with the Hollywood-style macho man blockbuster deconstructed into a nightmarish vision of war, and 'Undertale' does the same here, making the players think they're the hero of their own epic adventure and pulling the rug from under them.
'Undertale' pulls a very specific trick it makes you the hero of your own story and the potential villain in another. Going down the genocide route in 'Undertale' is perhaps the biggest moral grey area in gaming, and it doesn't need hyper-realistic graphics to make the player feel uncomfortable. The 2010s were defined by game development teams ballooning to over 500 plus people in the case of blockbuster titles like 'Resident Evil 6', but the 2010s also saw the rise of tiny development teams taking on the best that the gaming industry had to offer.Ĭhoice-driven games like 'Heavy Rain' and 'The Walking Dead' paid lip service to crafting a story that catered to the whims of the players, but 'Undertale' actually made your choices matter. The success of 'Undertale' is remarkable because it was largely made by one man - Toby Fox.
In the same year as 'Undertale', games like 'The Witcher 3' and 'Metal Gear Solid 5' were multi-million Euro epics that offered vast game worlds, but 'Undertale' managed to trump them with sheer ingenuity and wit. The success of 'Undertale' is the success story that has become so synonymous with gaming and ties it to punk rock - just about anyone with a little bit of money and a dream can hit it big, and what is so remarkable about 'Undertale' is how good it is.ħ years on from release, 'Undertale' has lost none of the ability to shock, and is still as novel and fresh to play now as it was in the summer of 2015. 'The Blair Witch Project' and 'Paranormal Activity were made for dirt cheap and made a packet, debut albums by Nirvana and Black Sabbath changed the face of rock music, and 'Undertale' proved you don't need a sky-high budget to provide an unforgettable experience. In all forms of media, the most influential titles are often those made on the cheapest budgets - and 'Undertale' is proof of that in the video gaming sphere.
