Okay so the character being named Kris threw me off, 'cause just like others in the thread the first four letters of my name are Kris.

At the start of the game, Susie has 100 Rudeness stat, but at the end, she has 99 :3:

Does anyone else find the phrase "Don't forget, I'm with you in the dark" kind of creepy and ominous? Like, who's with me in the dark? Someone nice? Or someone who wants to hurt me?
My tinfoil is that the song is sung by the player, to Kris. No matter what, you'll be there with 'em.

Yes. I don't know if it's super common but my sister and most of her friends do. The idea being that a paper diary is a lot safer than anything digital.

Do they also record 6+ voice tapes containing world building and plot information and leave them lying around in the house?

With the idea of Darkners being actual, physical objects in reality, and those objects being tied to escapism (or as previously mentioned in this thread, abandoned/unavailable forms of escapism), I wonder what that entails for Ralsei's story about the Roaring. If the fountains were to overflow and the world covered by darkness, then Darkners would die out/become stone, and the Lightners would be "forced to fend for themselves, lost eternally in an endless night". And the lyrics to Don't Forget being... well, "Don't forget, I'm with you in the dark" - the Lightners need the Darkners, because without them, the crushing weight of reality would be unbearable. Ralsei says it's the Darkners duty to help the Lightners, because they're literal objects of escapism.

And all of this casts the King's speech during his boss fight in an entirely new light. He truly feels the weight of being abandoned by the Lightners, and questions why they've "returned to torment them once more". He worships the Knight, because they created this world, and soon reality will be blanketed and the Darkners will rule (whereas, again, Ralsei says they would die). But he doesn't realize that he's literally fighting his beloved Knight, trying to put a stop to it!


All enticing, interesting stuff. Toby and his team are so good.

Yup, I believe the Deltarune voice clips were provided by Toby himself though.

Speaking of voices, who sings the ending theme (in Chapter 1 at least, not sure if it comes back in 2) and did they ever make a longer version of it?

We're the light inside their Soul. We're playing Deltarune with the goal to make them happy. We might have differences of opinions, and Kris would rather not go through with the whole "us controlling them" thing, but goddammit we don't have a choice here and I'll be with them through thick and thin. I'll make that child happy, goddammit.

Doesn't the dialogue between queen and ralsei imply that darkner leaders have some kind of intrinsic duty to make lightners happy?

It gets glossed over, but implies something a little bit hosed up deep down.

Not just the leaders, but all Darkners. Going by the intro, when Ralsei asks you to collect all the things from the abandoned playroom (and then the librarby), they're literal objects designed to entertain. Playing cards, toys, plushies. The King berates the Lightners for abandoning them - no one had played with them for a long time. In this chapter, a computer without internet, and in the next, seemingly a TV that has been unplugged for a long time, gathering dust. And potentially even How To Draw Dragons, left on the bottom shelf, never to be touched or returned to the Librarby.

Krismas is extremely funny and cute. I don't care if it's just a nickname or the real full version of their name.



I input "Kristian" as the name for my vessel when Chapter 1 released and until like the epilogue section when you talk to Rudy I just thought the game had taken the first four letters and used that as the name :v:

No Deltarune news, but Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is out and Toby's fingerprints are all over that soundtrack, including but especially the final boss.

Yeah there's an ongoing leitmotif/melody throughout several tracks in S/V, both in and out of combat, and it's extremely definitely by Toby.

that said there are several non-Toby tracks that are also fantastic!
