Undoing the Effects of a Specific In-Game Action
Undertale incorporates consequences for certain actions that have permanent and irreversible effects within the game.
To determine whether these actions were undertaken, the game checks for the presence of the file system_information_962
or system_information_963
in the save game data location. By removing this file, the consequences of the aforementioned actions can be reversed.
In the case of the Steam version of the game on Windows, the file is stored in the cloud, necessitating the deletion of the corresponding files from the cloud storage as well. Detailed instructions on how to accomplish this can be found in Store:Steam#Delete_files_stored_in_the_cloud.
