This is by far the best Undertale fangame I have ever played, so I am sorry people do not understand the meaning of 'parody'. I only wish you had found a place to fit in the "your FACISM increased" joke!
You know, it is when Steam had to take it down that had me concerned about this game actually existing. I thought it was not much more than just a fan video I saw!
It is still funny as hell, but it seems like you would have to PAY for it. I am not certain that would go well. Let us say that it is not a matter of IF, just WHEN.
No, not at all. Apologies for not being more clearer. You were not the only one to ask that old question.
I am not an expert, but I am just superstitious and worried of the ramification for your well-being, is all. Perhaps from the situation that involves a "Palworld", but that is neither here nor there.
How are you supposed to beat the last boss? I keep running out of healing and you can't do anything to him but dodge his attacks and inevitably I get nailed by them and die.
Would you ever consider porting to MacOS? This game looks absolutely phenomenal and I love what you guys have done by spinning the framework of Undertale into political satire. I just would love to play it myself rather than watching lets plays. Thanks :)
In what way? Kamala-Tale uses Undertale's themes and gameplay as a means to give commentary on not just American politics, but even Undertale itself (Ben Franklin saying the Genocide route sucks), which puts the game squarely in the realm of fair use. While its art, music, and other aspects are SIMILAR to Undertale, the important distinction is that it ISN'T Undertale, and the only shared aspects come from the nature of it being a parody (i.e. the track "White House" resembles "Ruins", but that's part of the joke. If it didn't resemble the original work in some way, then it wouldn't be a parody.)
We’ve received concerns about the legality of selling KAMALATALE, and we'd like to reassure everybody that the game does not contain assets that infringe on the copyrights of other games, nor is its programming derived from any other titles. KAMALATALE was crafted independently as a piece of satire, protected under fair use and parody laws, and it is not intended to be a fangame.
While the game may pay homage to other works, it uses only original assets and takes place within its own world.
The decision to parody Undertale serves as a creative vehicle for political satire rather than simply a tribute or fangame. Undertale's message about peace and empathy that resonates deeply with American ideals, making it a fitting foundation for a satire about the 2024 political landscape. We’re just a small team of developers who set out to create something comedic and relevant to the times, while also putting a lot of thought into it. If any accidental infringements are discovered—such as leftover reference files—we urge you to let us know so we can address them immediately. KAMALATALE is a labor of love, featuring an original soundtrack, custom art, and an hour-long RPG experience, priced to reflect the work we’ve put into it.
We’re committed to respecting the work of other creators, just as we hope our efforts will be respected in turn.
Thank you guys so much for all the love and understanding! The reception has meant a lot to us, as we've never released anything before. Continue letting us know about any bugs etc. if you find any!"
This is technically correct, but considering the game doesn't reuse Undertale assets, unless Toby filed a gameplay patent there's not much to worry about.
i should warn you that youre using tml engine, and the creator has stated that using it for paid fangames is ilegal. i recommend you to switch undertale engine as soon as possible.
i love how this low effort ai generated game shows the complete lack of creativity of people who support trump, as opposed to what we can see is a very funny and well made fan game by harris supporters
i didnt think id ever say this, but libs have WAAAAYYYY more creativity. plus i dont wanna give a shitty AI generated game my time. id rather spend my time playing a pro-kamala game AS A CONSERVITIVE TRUMP SUPPORTER.
plus that games code was probably also AI written.
As cool as it looks,I ain't buyin that,cause first when this game fully releases on steam,I'll get jackshit if I buy it here and second this feels kinda like it's profitting of Toby's games
This is the full game. It's likely never coming to Steam, but I'm still waiting to get in contact. If we do get on Steam, we will try to distribute keys to those who have purchased here.
As for profiting off of someone else's work, I understand the concern, but in our opinion this is a cut and dry case of parody. Think Weird Al, but for games instead of music.
posting for no raisins. plz add to one of those massive bundles for a good cause to give me more reason to spend my soda money on this fun looking game
Great game. Here's my lazily-done steam controller settings for anyone who wants to play this on a controller (in my case PS4). Just have to add non-steam game to your library and select where you put your kamala install. Android release when?
seems like the mini-mushroom section is broken? every time i reload and try to leave the room it resets my size, not sure if im doing something wrong though.
Oh, so sorry! I made 1.0.2 available again for the time being until we fix that. We were trying to fix another minor bug related to it but I guess we accidentally made the game unbeatable now..
OK, I think that guy was a little too angry, but. If the fan game doesn't have any sprites or characters, in Undertale, I think it's legal. But then again, my IQ is the size of a grape so I don't know.

I enjoyed that. But Kamala did not win.
are you going to make a free version at some point?
This is by far the best Undertale fangame I have ever played, so I am sorry people do not understand the meaning of 'parody'. I only wish you had found a place to fit in the "your FACISM increased" joke!
Omg you are so perfect , brillant game ahaha

Are you threatening me? I'm confused.
No, not at all. Apologies for not being more clearer. You were not the only one to ask that old question.

It's an 'endurance' battle. You have to dodge as good as a President would! Believe in yourself, have faith, and stay determined!!!
Would you ever consider porting to MacOS? This game looks absolutely phenomenal and I love what you guys have done by spinning the framework of Undertale into political satire. I just would love to play it myself rather than watching lets plays. Thanks :)
hopefully they do that, I might test the windows version using whisky
was worth 3 bucks, just wish there was more and maybe a second route. besides that, its pretty yummy game.
guys stop fucking say that is against the law, the owner said "
They include an MIT open source agreement in every download, which means we can distribute a commercial release with it.
It's also modified quite a bit." so it isnt illegal, he can use it for commerical use and publish it for steam so shut the fuck up jesus christ
you cant sell fan games its literally against the law lmao
what law? i didn't hear about the fangame act of 2024
It is generally considered a violation of copyright law

Parody does not necessarily mean that you can legally profit from it
Look at Weird Al Yankovic and try again
This is technically correct, but considering the game doesn't reuse Undertale assets, unless Toby filed a gameplay patent there's not much to worry about.
will you update and add more? I just finished the game and I love it!
Can you make this free as consolation because she lost
hello im the real clover plz make tihs free i dont have monye
same
i should warn you that youre using tml engine, and the creator has stated that using it for paid fangames is ilegal. i recommend you to switch undertale engine as soon as possible.

It's also modified quite a bit.
Truly the game of all time
No genocide route? boring...
Why does it say that it is no longer available on the Steam store?
Because it got rejected in the reviewal process. It never released on Steam.
Trump is President Elect. Go play https://magagame.itch.io/magagame instead. Free, you can donate if you want
Of course, it's low effort bs.
i love how this low effort ai generated game shows the complete lack of creativity of people who support trump, as opposed to what we can see is a very funny and well made fan game by harris supporters
If you get to 150 points, you may unlock the chance of making Kamala President. Try and see what happens.
We'll keep this comment up for the sake of freedom of speech, but we think you should stop advertising your AI slop :)
mad u lost the election
i didnt think id ever say this, but libs have WAAAAYYYY more creativity. plus i dont wanna give a shitty AI generated game my time. id rather spend my time playing a pro-kamala game AS A CONSERVITIVE TRUMP SUPPORTER.

this is outdated. donald trump is the current president. please update the description accordingly.
Who?
actually joe biden is the current president. hope this helps
inauguration day is January 20th 2025. (also my B-day!) stop making us trump supporters look badddd.
Oof
- Mario, from Mario, when he gets hurt

I've played the actual game, everything is original. It's more like a fangame than a mod.
...and selling fangames isnt legal so like :33
okay who cares
Selling fangames is plenty legal so long as you don't infringe on IP.
Ok this is genuinely one of the best undertale fangames I've seen. I'm obsessed with this.... please I need to know
1) how long did this take to make?
2) Is this commissioned by the party or is it its own thing?
3) What is the future of this game/company I need to have more of whatever your smoking to make this
posting for no raisins. plz add to one of those massive bundles for a good cause to give me more reason to spend my soda money on this fun looking game
Great game. Here's my lazily-done steam controller settings for anyone who wants to play this on a controller (in my case PS4). Just have to add non-steam game to your library and select where you put your kamala install.
Android release when?
when's Deltatrump
realest of real fangames

For now, download 1.0.2, it's fully playable.
Fixed.

I liked the game! It was pretty short (only like 45 minutes for me and like 10 of it was on the boss), but I liked it!
...so when's Kamalatale Greenparty?
seems like the mini-mushroom section is broken? every time i reload and try to leave the room it resets my size, not sure if im doing something wrong though.
Oh, so sorry! I made 1.0.2 available again for the time being until we fix that. We were trying to fix another minor bug related to it but I guess we accidentally made the game unbeatable now..
Download 1.0.2 and you should be good to go!
Patched! Should work now :)
its literally illegal to sell and profit fangames..
you have the worst takes, actually kill yourself
wow what a response! sorry for pointing out something thats literally illegal!
OK, I think that guy was a little too angry, but. If the fan game doesn't have any sprites or characters, in Undertale, I think it's legal. But then again, my IQ is the size of a grape so I don't know.
This is true, but I think that this might fall into the category of parody, whether you like the work or not.
you are a dumb nigger
can i get a refund, its not letting me play the game
edit: this is actually 100% my fault, i should've checked if it was compatible with my device first
What do you mean? If you installed last night-reinstall, there was an issue where it was looking for a Steam license
ok well ig its only $3.50 its fine ig cool concept tho
email me at kamalatale@protonmail.com
what is this game lmfao
