So what is DELTARUNE about?

>>712834960 (OP)
It's about the deltarune.

>>712835335
I mean thematically.

What's the most interesting lore detail that you guys feel like nobody is talking about enough?

>>712834960 (OP)
The hero's journey

agency

Who knows? Come back in 8 years to find out.

FUCK PROPHECIES

>>712834960 (OP)
I think it crosses over a lot of themes rather than just focusing on a single theme like UNDERTALE did.
>Fate
>Agency
>Authorship
>Identity
These are the 4 themes I think DELTARUNE is focused on.

Dark fountains let you REVIVE people that shit is HUGE

>>712836346
More like they let you talk to their spirit which may be just how the lightener imagines said person

>>712834960 (OP)
it's about rape

>>712836506
Sorta right sorta wrong.
Ralsei said Darkeners can leave the Dark World under special circumstances.

>>712835526
(You) is actually a brat

It's about friendship or something

>>712834960 (OP)
It's about Toby shoehorning lesbians and childhood friend suffering

>>712836048
Not gonna lie what you just said sounds really boring since we've had like a billion games focus on all that shit and did it better

>taking everything at face value from him
>encourages Snowgrave for learning
Why do we blindly trust him again?

>>712834960 (OP)
Deltarune is about how your choices don't matter.
You're literally told this at the very start.

>>712836713
>They did it better
I played a lot of vidya and I must say DELTARUNE presents its themes in a very compelling way.

>>712836780
Yeah, and Flowey tells you at the start of UNDERTALE it's either kill or be killed, and you prove Flowey wrong.

>>712836763
old = wise

>>712836346
Everyone's talking about it?
The whole reason it was introduced was to lead into the main plot of the game: the resurrection of Dess (a conspiracy between Carol, Asgore and Kris)

>>712836889
This isn't undertale.

How would you react?

>>712836780
You mean the dino girl that isn't a part of the prophecy and is in for a reality check in the future? You mean she tells you that?

>>712836929
Yes, did I ever claim so? I'm not saying DELTARUNE is UNDERTALE, I'm saying Toby as an author is not known to flat out state the themes from the get-go.

>>712836763
If there's someone I'm gonna trust in a gay tranny bestiality game it's gonna be the based old man

G-guys...?
Where is my boy...

>>712834960 (OP)
Escapism and fate. It's very obvious in Chapters 3 and 4.

>>712836971
This shit is too predictable and tropey. Toby isn't like that.

>>712837007
The themes have only been reinforced since the start.

>>712834960 (OP)
>So what is DELTARUNE about?
Purpose and belonging seems to be the over-arching themes. The purpose/belonging within society, within family, in school, in church, the purpose in the context of the prophecy, the way characters like Spamton and Tenna have lost their purpose, heck even Berdley goes through his little arc of losing purpose as "the smartest one", it's the one thing that seems to tie the various plots together.
