Listen "65: Undertale"
Episode Synopsis
The initial version of this episode had a sound issue with Shane’s track that has since been corrected. If you hear any gaps in the audio, please delete and re-download the episode. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This week we’re talking about Undertale by Toby Fox. Described as “the RPG where you don’t have to destroy anyone,” Undertale turned out to be one of the sweetest, funniest, and ultimately most moving games we’ve played.
In the interest of preserving Undertale’s many surprises, we’ve trying a different format this week. This episode is entirely spoiler free. We discuss the game’s unique gameplay and humor, and give a few tips for enjoying it fully. Next week we’ll be returning with a short episode covering details of the story and endings.
Editor’s Note: This is a strong contender for my Game of the Year. Don’t miss it! – Raygan
Undertale is available for Mac and Windows, through Steam, the Humble Store, and the developer’s website, for $9.99. Expect it to take around 10 hours to complete.
Here’s a link to the Temmie Armor, mentioned near the end of the episode.
