Welcome to the official-unofficial topic for DELTARUNE, an official spinoff game to the popular indie title UNDERTALE. This topic serves as an alternate platform to separate the discussion from the UNDERTALE topic.
By continuing to read this topic, you agree to the risk of spoilers. We highly recommend you to complete both Chapter 1 and 2 on your own before heading into the discussion, as DELTARUNE is a fairly recent game that is best experienced when played blind.

New topic, fun

So long and thanks for all the fish, old topic.

How do you access old undertale/deltarune newsletters? Is there a website archiving all of them?

i am going to play chapter 1 with a steering wheel i will let you know how it goes

Now that's a nice challenge

I was considered at one point getting the CRT out of my attic and playing deltarune off a Wiimote + CRT + maybe even floppy disk combo

Edit: maybe I'll use a compact disc instead of a floppy since it would take a floppy over 30 seconds to load 2 MB of data…

this needs to be corrected

no it doesn't. what about it is inaccurate? DELTARUNE still has no set release date and based on how things are going it's still far from completion. we have the demo (ch1 and ch2) but the game isn't out yet. the closest thing to “incorrect” information is (spoilers) that “the player takes on the role of a human”, since it seems like we would more accurately be described as ‘a parasite possessing a human’.

Has anyone beaten Mike's unexpected rematch in Chapter 19 yet?

If it wasn't randomized it'd probably be just a Rickroll Hotline (Those exist)
