Undertale fans raised over $330,000 for charity at the RPG's 10th anniversary event, where someone paid $11,000 for a "one-of-a-kind" giant Toriel plush
Undertale has attracted one of the most powerful fandoms in gaming, and over the weekend those fans used their power for good, raising over $330,000 for Doctors Without Borders in honor of the game's 10th anniversary.
The 10th anniversary event centered on a two-day stream featuring folks from Fangamer alongside a small facsimile of Undertale developer Toby Fox, who kept his mysterious persona intact for the event by participating through text-to-speech.
The format was similar to something like Games Done Quick, where viewers could plug in donations to vote in various polls about in-game choices and the like. Ultimately, those donations totaled $322,805.68 raised for Doctors Without Borders, an organization which provides humanitarian medical care around the world.

On top of just raw donations, the event also had a pair of big auctions for unique collector's items which brought in even more money for the charity. A "one-of-a-kind" giant plush of beloved video game mom Toriel brought in $11,000 after 188 bids.
The other unique item was a 10th Anniversary TV Diorama, designed by Camille Young and featuring a small dog with an even smaller hotdog preparing to play Undertale on a vintage gaming setup. The TV has interactive buttons, and "the dog can be repositioned thanks to its internal magnets." The diorama had an estimated market value of $1,000, but brought in $13,969.67 after 155 bids.
