Undertale was a game that was heavily concerned with the actions that the player took, and how those actions reflected out into the gameworld. This is the first time that the game is establishing its differences between itself and its predecessor. They are the adopted child of Toriel, and their older brother is Asriel, making Kris have the same familial relations as Chara did. It is quickly established that this character is, in this world, somewhat analogous to Chara in Undertale. It then tells the player that whatever choices they made don’t matter, and that they are playing as Kris, a young child in the clothing of Chara (the final villain of Undertale). It’s a demo, a fairly meaty one at about a three-hour playtime, and while it’s marked as “Chapter 1,” a lengthy clarification from Toby Fox explains that the final project will be released as a single purchase, not split by chapter.ĭeltarune opens with a character creation sequence. Most interestingly, the game also is already setting itself up as a thematic counterpart to Undertale, acting in conversation with the previous game’s ruminations on violence and pacifism.ĭeltarune isn’t exactly a sequel, as it turns out. It’s a seemingly modern setting, with cars and police and churches, and a magic closet in the local school leading to a fantasy land where Light and Dark are continually at war. This new game, Deltarune (an anagram for Undertale, in case you missed that), is set in a universe that includes many of the characters from Undertale, but re-shuffled into slightly different positions. Developer Toby Fox broke the silence on his newest project in a distinctly Toby Fox style, dropping what looked like an entire game for free. On Halloween last week I had the distinct pleasure of telling a friend who loved Undertale that its quasi-sequel had came out that day for free. This article contains spoilers for basically all of Deltarune, and most of Undertale.
