is there a difficulty setting?

i'm only like an hour into the game and i'm having alot of difficulty. i even found the first fights difficult but i want to keep playing because i enjoy the story/comedy parts of the game. can i make it easier somehow?

If you name yourself "Frisk" at the start of the game, hard mode will be activated

As for making the game easier, I don't think there is a way to do so. On my first playthrough I found the bosses hard too until I started getting used to their attacks

Unpopular opinion: Normal Undyne isn't that hard

Difficulty is adaptive at several points. It'll get easier as you die a lot, not to mention you'll start learning the patterns.

Don't worry mate, you'll get better overtime. I've played the game so many times by now and still occasionally get hit by monsters in Ruins.

PROTIP: Buy a Spider Donut while in the Ruins and keep it until the Muffet fight. It'll allow you to skip the fight entirely when you use it. And just saying, Muffet fight took me like 3-5 attempts on my first playthrough, so it's fairly difficult.
