Undertale: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
The "undertale" repository is a small, largely unmaintained source dump — its own README says someone sent the uploader the code and calls it "most likely decompiled," with just two contributors and halted development. UndertaleModTool is a different kind of project: an actively maintained tool (85 contributors) for decompiling, unpacking, and modding Undertale and other GameMaker games, rather than a standalone playable clone.
