In the game, the player controls a child who falls through a hole in a cave and arrives in an underground world where monsters have been forced to reside after a battle with the human race.

In producing Undertale, Toby got his inspiration from the British comedy show Mr. Bean, the bullet-hell shooter series Touhou Project, and Mario & Luigi role-playing series.

In addition, he got the idea of being trapped in an underground world from the video game Brandish.

Along with being the main developer of Undertale, he is credited for designing the following characters:

  • Froggit;
  • Undyne;
  • Whimsun;
  • Shyren;
  • Moldsmal;
  • Toriel;
  • Loox;
  • Asgore;
  • Knight Knight;
  • Migosp;
  • Madjick;
  • Napstablook;
  • Astigmatism;

  • Moldbygg;
  • Royal Guards;
  • Pyrope;
  • Tsunderplane;
  • Alphys (design).

Undertale sold more than 3.5 million copies. He said for Tech Times:

'Surprisingly, there are many people who like this type of game.'

Toby went on to say:

'Though I did work hard, there's definitely a lot of luck involved in having a game become this popular. So, it wouldn't surprise me if I never made a game as successful again.'

The game received many game awards nominations, including:

  • Game of the Year at the SXSW Gaming Awards;
  • Excellence in Narrative at the Independent Games Festival Awards;
  • Best Narrative at the Game Developers Choice Awards.

On October 31, 2018, he released the first chapter of the follow-up to Undertale, named Deltarune.

The game was developed by Toby in GameMaker Studio 2.

In Deltarune, the player controls a human, Kris, in a world inhabited by monsters.

Production of the 2nd chapter began in May 2020.
