How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Undertale
You fall into an underground world full of monsters and can choose not to kill any of them. Battles mix RPG menus with bullet-hell dodging, and the game remembers your choices in surprising ways. Humour, tenderness and metanarrative.
