UNDERTALE, playable by ear — v1.2. A fix update for the NVDA accessibility mod, made and tested by a blind player who beat the whole game with it. This one comes straight from player feedback — thank you to everyone who reported things!

Fixed in v1.2

  • Music volume now works everywhere. The N / B keys used to only change overworld music. They now also turn down (and up) the title-screen music and battle music, so the cues come through during fights and on the menu too.
  • You can now hear when an enemy can be spared. Sighted players see the enemy's name turn yellow when it's ready to be spared — now you get the audio version. In the FIGHT/ACT target list a ready enemy is announced as "spareable", and the MERCY menu says "Spare, can spare now" when at least one enemy is ready. No more guessing when MERCY will work.
  • Result text after an action is now read. Lines that appear after you do something — taking the Monster Candy, buying from the spider bake sale, and other after-a-choice messages — were being skipped. They're spoken now.
  • Plus title-screen menu reliability and other under-the-hood fixes.

Install / update

  1. Download Undertale-NVDA-Access.zip below and unzip it.
  2. Close UNDERTALE, then run Install (Install.bat).
  3. It auto-finds your game, backs it up, and patches it in seconds. Run Uninstall anytime to revert.

Updating from v1.0/v1.1 is the same: just run Install again over your current game.

Everything the installer says is spoken by NVDA.

Requirements

  • Windows · UNDERTALE on Steam, v1.08 (the installer checks and refuses safely if your version differs) · NVDA running while you play.

What's covered

All dialogue, menus, walk-by-ear navigation (with auto-walk), battles, the FIGHT timing bar, attack-dodging (with assist/slow/normal modes), the jump and shield soul fights, area puzzles (with a skip option for purely visual ones), shops, elevators, the Mettaton quiz, and the final boss.

See KEYS.txt in the download for the full controls. Feedback from other players is very welcome.

UNDERTALE is by Toby Fox. This is an unofficial fan project and includes no game files — it only patches the copy you already own.
