DELTARUNE is an RPG game created by Toby Fox. It follows Kris, Susie, and Ralsei as they explore Dark Worlds - manifestations of pure darkness - in a bid to save the world from a terrible prophecy.
The prophecy, which whispers among the shadows.
The legend of this world.
DELTARUNE.
A world basked in purest light.
Beneath it, grew eternal night.
If fountains freed, the roaring cries.
And titans shape from darkened eyes.
The light and dark, both burning dire.
A countdown to the earth's expire.
But lo, on hopes and dreams they send.
Three heroes at the world's end.
The first hero. The cage, with human soul and parts!
The second hero. The girl, with hope crossed on her heart.
The third hero. The prince, alone in deepest dark...
The knight which makes with blackened knife.
Shall duel with heroes strife by strife.
They'll hear the ring of heaven's call.
They'll see the tail of hell take crawl.
And then. When all hope is lost for the tale.
The final tragedy unveils.
To save the worlds, there is only one way.

Only then will the worlds be saved.
Kris Dreemurr, the human from the prophecy. A quiet and introverted person, they serve as the party's leader. Kris specializes in ACTing, a form of battle that allows the party to resolve fights peacefully.
Susie, the monster from the prophecy. She is outspoken and rude, but a great friend to anyone who gives her a chance. As the story progresses, Susie gains confidence in herself and strengthens her bonds.
Ralsei, the Darkner from the prophecy. He is a kind monster-like prince of the Dark who is too selfless for his own good. In later Chapters, he begins to act more "selfishly" and forms his own opinions. He also resembles Asriel, Kris' older brother.
Noelle Holiday, Kris' childhood friend. Friendly and cheerful, she hides her true feelings in order to fit in. She plays a big role in the story's Weird Route, an alternate route in which t̸͖̣̕h̸̼̬̏e̸͉̼̭̔͑̅ ̵̢̺̤́p̶̧̖̆̓͘l̶̡͎̊͌a̵̹͌y̵̨̡̲͑͊e̷̛̝̒r̷̻̙͑̎͜ ̴̦͒̿̂m̸̞͠ͅa̵̱̓͂ṇ̴̈̏ͅi̶̢̐p̸̭̲̫̚͝͠ȕ̵̜͛ͅl̶̨͑́̐a̵̜̼̎t̷͓͂̆̎e̵̙͒s̵͕̲͑̊͊ ̶͕̲̇̔ḧ̶̡̼͎́̆e̴̪̣̠̓͛r̷̥̂̾̕ ̶̪͂t̸̩̞̍͋o̴̯̍̿̇ ̸̧͈̼͘̕b̸̜̝͒e̸̫̱͇̕c̵̙͔̲͋̈́ȏ̵͓̿m̶̼͕͊́è̵͚̓͘ ̷͕̘͊̐̃s̸̬͂̀ẗ̷̡̟́́r̶̻̣̓͑ô̶̪̒n̶͈̉͑g̸͔̊e̷̬̻̊̇̔͜r̴̭͗.̸͕̻̞̿͗
DELTARUNE is honestly one of my favorite games of all time. The story is like no other I've ever experienced. Each Chapter is steeped in mystery, leaving you wondering what's going to happen next. The music is utterly amazing too. Toby Fox might be one of the best video game composers of all time, and I'm not saying this lightly. Every day, I look forwards to the next Chapter.
I also really relate to Kris and Noelle. Kris was one of the characters that made me realize that I'm nonbinary. And Noelle's attitude towards life really resonated with my own feelings. I hold these characters very dear to my heart.
If you've never played DELTARUNE, I highly recommend checking it out alongside UNDERTALE. Seriously. Check it out. Now.
