Calling on Nintendo’s iconic Earthbound with its blend of humor, RPG gameplay, and quirky characters, Toby Fox’s Undertale quickly established itself as one of the most beloved and successful indie games of all time. After a nameless child falls into the Underground—a magical, secluded realm sealed away beneath Earth—they set forth on a journey to find Asgore castle. Along the way, they discover how their forgotten past is the fulcrum on which the entirety of existence depends. (Heavy.)
With a killer soundtrack (which no less than the Pope himself enjoys), an unforgettable world, and multiple endings, Undertale’s a fan favorite for the way it pushes the limits of game narrative, characterization, and storytelling, and for its metatextual exploration of video game tropes and the relationship between video games and the people who play them. Few indie games have captured hearts to quite the same level as Toby Fox’s modern classic.
