UNDERTALE Alarm Clock
(Redirected from Mettaton Winter Dialogue)
The UNDERTALE Alarm Clock is a cancelled iPhone/Android App developed by Toby Fox and Chess.[1] It was originally an Undertale Kickstarter stretch goal reward for reaching $32,500 during the campaign.
On September 15, 2017, Toby Fox announced the Alarm Clock's development was in progress during Undertale's 2nd anniversary.[1] On the official Undertale Tumblr post are four dialogue previews, and a drawn mock-up of the Alarm Clock App's interface. It is stated Undertale characters can set the alarm. Fox also describes the dialogues as similar to the Undertale Q&A Tumblr in terms of tone: "not very important, but pretty fun".
The Alarm Clock's development was later discontinued due to circumstances and in favor of developing Deltarune.[2] On September 15, 2020, the 5th Anniversary Alarm Clock Winter Dialogue was announced on the official Undertale Twitter,[3] and is available on the official Undertale website. Of the four teased dialogue previews, only an excerpt for Asgore is featured on-site, with one being updated from its original draft.
On Deltarune's 5th Anniversary, the Halloween excerpts is referenced in the Newsletter in the form of sprites and alt text.[4][5][6]
The character dialogue is listed here in the same order as on the Undertale website. The Winter Dialogue takes place after the True Pacifist Route epilogue. Toby Fox has recommended that the dialogue should only be read after completing Undertale.[2]

Well, it has been two years now. I would like to announce that we have started working on the UNDERTALE ALARM CLOCK APP FOR IPHONE/ANDROID.
— undertale on Tumblr, September 15, 2017. - 1 2 The dialogue on this page was originally intended to debut in the UNDERTALE Alarm Clock, an app that would have served as the vehicle for various humorous monologues from the characters. Development on the app has halted due to various circumstances, including asking the app developer to help with the development of DELTARUNE instead.
So, rather than have the dialogue gather dust, I have taken an excerpt and rewritten it for display here.
As always, it's recommended you don't read this dialogue until you've completed UNDERTALE. - undertale.com/alarmclock/ - ↑
Happy 5th Anniversary!
