A game created by Toby Fox, where you star as a human in an underground society full of monsters. You can spare, or kill your enemies, which teaches people you don't have to murder everyone!
There are three routes.
Pacifist is where you spare everyone and no one dies at all, (Which is honestly the best ending.)
Genocide is where you murder everyone in the underground, which results in a lot more sobbing and feels if you play it after pacifist.
Neutral is where you killed a few and spared most, so like the middle man.
