As teased yesterday by Toby Fox, creator of the mega-hit indie game Undertale, his next project has been revealed as a game called Deltarune. The short game is a free download for Windows and OSX, and appears to be a working demo that is being used as a teaser, rather than a full experience. Its title, Deltarune, is also a reference to Undertale, being an anagram of the latter's name as well as the visuals sporting callbacks to certain moments from the 2015 game. Toby Fox claims that he wishes to begin a new game, and that this teaser was released to garner player feedback. On the download page, you can see "warnings" that tell the player to "refrain from discussion" until 24 hours have passed, and "accepting everything that will happen from now on". If you run the free game, it'll notably trigger Windows Defender, to which you'll have to disregard the message it gives you, and run it anyway. Right now it's not known what entirely this game is composed of, but if you're a fan of Undertale, it could be a fun Halloween treat.

* THERE MAY BE MOVING OR FLASHING IMAGERY.
* YOU MAY HAVE TO OVERRIDE SECURITY PROTOCOLS TO USE THE PROGRAM.
* FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU ARE ADVISED TO REFRAIN FROM DISCUSSION OF THE PROGRAM FOR 24 HOURS.
* YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON.

Just to be sure, since I did read that this did trip some warnings in modern windows, does it check out? any undue surprises in the download? Naturally, trying to be careful before I go download it myself.

Yeah, it's confirmed by many many people to be safe.

The Undertale fandom was on its last legs. It's was so close to finally dying.
But it refused.

Spoilers for people who beat it:

There's a secret boss. If you go back to the second to last elevator, it has an option for ???. After going there, the rest is fairly self explanatory. If you need help with the locations, B is somewhere in the middle of the forest on the screen with the dancers, C is to the right and up from the shop. After that, good luck, it's no joke (though no Sans either).

Is "Kris" "Frisk" because Kris is just frisk without the f and the k is in front of the r.

Also I have not even played it yet so. Whatever.

We don't know if it's a sequel, a prequel, or a side-story, but it includes many new and original characters, alongside new music and battle system.
This is only a demo, not the full game. Things might change depend on our feedback once it's complete.
Until then, enjoy the demo

P.S: Fun Fact: Delta Rune is also the name of the crest of the royal family which you see everywhere in Undertale.

Spoiler: DELTARUNE SPOILERS.

It's not a demo. It's the chapter 1 of Deltarune.

How.

How.

Undertale is on the switch so they probably made a romhack using Undertale as the base (people were able to load entirely different game maker games over it, so Delta Rune would probably work even better).

Or it's just a fake image.

It's first, kind of... It works just fine but controlling up and down is reversed, so I must fix that first.

Whatever it's called, it isn't the full game.

As someone who was literally addicted to undertale, and has been a JRPG fan all of his life:
Imagine undertale was more of a classic style turn based RPG but still with those cool ass bullet hell mechanics.
This demo is great. I cannot wait to give toby more of my money when this game comes out.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I beat it, and apparently there's a chapter 2 coming. Really hyped for that.
It seems like a prequel, but who knows if chapter 2 is going to continue where chapter 1 left off or if it'll be set in a different time period.
Haven't been able to beat the optional boss yet, but I will eventually.

 

[THYPLEX]

Don't open this unless you want spoilers

Spoiler: Spoiler

This is undertale 2. This is the first chapter. This chapter is about 2h30m long. A little more serious at first but will remind you more of undertale in hour 2

This is WHAAAT ?!
(I won't say anything , but i'm a bit surprised)

 

[Deleted User]

I love undertale! I’m glad to see Toby back in action. Does anyone know if it’s made in the same program as undertale? If it was made using the same engine we could use switch homebrew to run the game with layeredFS

Gamemaker Studio is used for Undertale and Deltarune. So it might work.

 

[Eddypikachu]

Really love the new battle system in this game

 

[IHOP]

Just beat it, took around 3 hours with me getting up every 10 minutes to pass out Halloween candy..

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Btw i feel so stupid as i just realized DeltaRune is just Undertale with the letters all jumbled
