About DELTARUNE
DELTARUNE expands the UNDERTALE universe with a parallel story that introduces fresh protagonists while re‑uniting familiar faces such as Toriel and Sans. The adventure is divided into linear, chapter‑based segments that can be started from any point, and the first two chapters are free to download.
Combat blends bullet‑dodging action inspired by Touhou and Chrono Trigger with the original’s fight‑or‑spare choice. The title features a massive soundtrack by Toby Fox, smooth pixel animation, full controller support, Steam Cloud sync, and Family Sharing on Windows and macOS.
