Undertale without spoilers: what to know before you start
Five things that make a first run better, and nothing more.
1Go in blind
Avoid videos and wikis. Undertale's best moments are surprises.
2You can be kind
Every monster can be spared. Try ACT options to see what they want.
3The game remembers
Undertale notices things you did, even after loading. Play naturally and accept your choices.
4Talk to everyone
Characters, signs and objects are full of jokes and hints.
5Play it again
After your first ending, the game hints at what a different approach could change. The second run often feels like a new game.
