Background
Dusttale is an RPG and a Bullet Hell fangame based on Undertale which was developed and uploaded to Game Jolt by Evan Streblow.
Following the events of 327 consecutive Genocide runs of Undertale, Sans suddenly remembers all the previous routes the Human (who is controlled by Chara at this point) has gone through. This causes him to try to stop the cycle of death by becoming more powerful than the Human to kill them and force a reset to the timeline by becoming the most determined being in the universe. The game contains two pathways: Genocide and Rebellion, each determined on your actions throughout the game.

Different Rules
Due to Dusttale operating under early Undertale fan theories and interpretations, the rules and characters of the world of Undertale do not apply to this verse and are completely separate from each other.
Chara Made Me Do It
The early Undertale fandom largely interpreted Chara as the mastermind behind Frisk's corruption into committing Genocide routes.
There is no basis for this normally as The Anomaly directly possesses Frisk and their actions directly influence[2] Chara.
In Dusttale, treats Frisk and Chara as characters whose actions are independent of the player, implicating Chara as the true villain who keeps resetting the timeline to continuously keep killing everyone to see if anything would change.
The Anomaly is Not You
In Undertale, the Anomaly is highly inferred to be the player controlling Frisk throughout their playthrough(s) of Undertale. This is first revealed through Sans the Skeleton's dialogue during his fight in the Genocide route[3]. The player has completely control of the game as they are able to reset timelines whenever they want, this is not the case in Dusttale.
Dusttale merges the Anomaly's role to both Frisk and Chara, with Frisk primarily being the "player" while Chara watched them do around nine genocide runs before taking control after Frisk's disinterest. Effectively combined, Chara sometimes takes control of Frisk when they deviate against Chara's goals.
