Undertale is an indie role playing game released in 2015 and created by Toby Fox, known for its retro presentation, branching story and memorable chiptune inspired soundtrack. Its menu and start cues became familiar to millions of players through playthroughs, streams and fan edits shared online. Short interface sounds from the game were later clipped for soundboards and video edits, where this brief start tone survived because it is instantly recognisable and fits almost any beginning. It remains popular with gaming creators who want a nostalgic cue without using a longer piece of music.
