Hello to anyone reading this. Today I will talk about why I like Undertale and also my theory of the game’s meaning. I call it the Fox code because it seems overt to me but nobody has connected it like I have.

But first, if you haven’t played the game (for example, my friend hasn’t), I will give a synopsis of it. If you know the game enough just skip this next part. If you don’t know the plot, this is essential reading.

The game follows the player’s character, Frisk. Frisk is a human who fell into an underground Kingdom of monsters under a mountain called Mt. Ebbot. The date on the game’s intro story when the game is loaded is said to be 201X. This is when you, the human fell into the underground. I also believe it represents 2020, but I will get to that later. This will become important later. I also put the actual intro below if you want to watch it yourself.

Now, people have tried to put their own interpretation on this ambiguous story. I relate it to Lucifer, Christian revelation, and Hinduism.

First I want to relate it to Lucifer and Christianity. For this I will begin with the Game’s location of Home.



The ‘Home’ segment of the game begins after you, the player controlling Frisk, fight off your first monsters and Flowey in the Ruins. Toriel, the Goat monster, then takes you into her ‘home’ and treats you as if she is your child. All of this happens after Flowey, the evil flower initially pretends to be nice but then turns evil to you. This forshadows that this game is decieiving.

If you try to leave this place, Toriel will stop you, even resorting to fighting. There is something she doesn’t want you to know. And when you spare or kill her and earn your way out of Home, she emphasizes to you the evil of Asgore, in red letters.

I relate this specifically to Christianity, where my interpretation of Adam and Eve being expelled from Eden fits with this. They were tempted with the tree of knowledge, kind of like how you the player are tempted to go down the stairs in the house to know what’s down there.

With the eventual venture to new home, the whole world goes from a dark age seeming ruin, then to a town with wooden buildings that looks like early modern European houses, then to a futuristic city. And then finally you get to new home and you fight Asgore in his version of home. The progress of increasing complexity to the eventual futuristic obstacle course to get to new home represents the increasing complexity of society as time goes on after ancient times.

the game’s achievements also prove this

Asgore’s fight and going to new home represents judgement Day, as Sans reveals that your LOVE points and LVL are not positive in meaning as you get them from killing, and learn it isn’t the objective of the game. You then also see that Asgore has been holding hearts from the six past humans before you. This picture below isn’t in the game but it’s the best I could find that displays the situation.



I relate it to two things, first the book of revelations, and then everything about Asgore reminds me of Indo-European/Aryan/Hindu subjects, but I will get to that after. He is meant to tie Eastern an Western teachings.

I relate it to revelations by this quote. Revelations 1:20:

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

In New Home Asgore has six hearts, but not the seventh. So he wants yours to complete what I believe is the bridge to connect monsters and humans (which is talked about frequently in the game). Could this be in reference to a one world state?

But why yours? That’s where the Hinduism/Aryan traditions come in.

First it has to do with the chakras from Hindu spiritual teachings. When you come as the human, you have a red heart. And notice how they are rainbow colours? Because of this, we can deduce that you are the equivalent of the root Chakra energy.

The lower chakras are associated with lower pleasure and lack of higher self. And Chara is also associated with that as when he became ill, he wanted to go back to the human village. He was evil because Asriel (Toriel and Asgore’s son) used his energy to kill off villagers. Then Asgore took what was left of him to make Flowey, an amalgamate. It is known in the story that amalgamates are monsters brought back to life from pieces of other monsters, almost like Frankenstein creations. Also the monsters have no soul. That is also said as to why Asgore wants Frisk’s heart. Also, if you complete the game on genocide rub, killing every character, he proceeds to delete the world. Meaning he had the low heart Asgore wanted, which he couldn’t get because he left to the humans in his body with Asriel.

here is why Asriel represents the angel of death

Asriel also is named after a biblical character

So also why the lowest heart then? He must just want to balance the other obtain heart energy so monsters can have a human balance.

Also, a lot about Asgore is demonic and may represent a false prophet. Especially as when you first see him, he is warm and welcoming. But then he fights you the hardest of any enemy.



There is a lot of careful imagery in his appearance. First of all, he holds his trident to his left. In a lot of Indo-European cultures, tridents are divine and powerful. For example, Shiva the Hindu god uses a trident to fight of evil and negativity. But the way Asgore uses it is inverse (this associating him with the fale prophet and antichrist). It is red, to his left (associated typically with the sinister). That side of his body is also white, which may have to do with purity. Also the shape below his tirdent’s prongs seems to look like the pine cone shape associated with the pineal gland, which associated with intuition.



Asgore is also associated with thunder and the seven lamps analogy

Now I want to tie all of this in with the apocalypse even more. Remember I said 201X represents 2020? Well, look at what kind of stuff has already been happening this year; and it’s only just the beginning. We’ve had the first outbreak of a coronavirus spreading around the world. And in recent times we’ve had various environmental disasters. These things can be attributed to the apocalypse, described as the waves from the four horsemen.

It is also arguably an age of a spritual war. And how better of a way to obscure the game’s meaning by obscuring the year. A timing is supposed to be a crucial part to a story’s setting.

The whole game is obscure in fact. It is only a surface level to see that the character’s reactions when they die later on in the story (especially Metatton) don’t match up with how you would have expected. What’s also a really odd coincidence is Metatton wants to record musican always records you. Well, Metatron (similar name to Metatton) was the recorder and celestial scribe in the Bible. I don’t think that’s just a coincidence.

It just gets weirder. Sans and Papyrus, the skeleton brothers, always seem to be weird. Especially when their father is not in the game, but only in Easter eggs and lone files in the game. Since there are two sons, and a father who is just a spirit, does this mean it’s supposed to be the Holy Trinity? Also I don’t remember where I saw this, but I heard if you go into the game files and listen to one of W.D. Gaster’s sound files, what I presume is his voice is saying something about keeping the secret. What secret? That the game is one big inverted bible?

Also, I find it ironic. How they are skeletons (representing death maybe), and are so happy seeming at times. This reminds me of stoic philosophy, where death is not supposed to be feared.

Now on a lighter point, let’s talk about the game’s music. The music is often easily able to be covered by a musician into a rock or metal style song. Music that is often associated with new age spirituality and satanic themes. It slaps though.

To conclude, I love this game. It seems to be representative of a new age one world theory. It intersects a lot of things, including new age spirituality, eastern and western philosophy and spirituality, Christianity and Satanism; attempting to tie them all together. Toby obviously wanted us to all figure this out, but it only makes sense now given how the world is. Also, there are so many references that I could have found on the Internet to all of the character’s to some biblical figure. If you want, tack on to this theory and do some extra research.

Have a great day.
