The indie RPG follows the story of a child who fell to the Underground, a secluded region beneath the Earth that is separated by a magic barrier. The player navigates the subterranean world for a way to return to the surface, meeting various monsters along the way.
Combat revolves around steering clear of mini-bullet hell attacks from the opponents. The player can also choose to spare or kill enemies with each choice drastically affecting the game — with dialogues, characters and story changing based on their choices.
The game was originally planned to be released in 2014. However, delays during development forced developer Toby Fox to postpone the release to the following year.
Since 2015, the game has sold over a million copies and was nominated for several awards including Game of the Year by various gaming organizations. Most of the accolades were directed to the game's writing, theme, combat system and musical score composed by Fox.
