Spiritual successor/sequel, kinda, AFAIK. You would definitely get a lot more out of it if you played Undertale first. But, if the first two chapters are anything to go by, all of the things originally from Undertale have been totally repurposed. For instance, quite a few NPCs from Undertale show up with the same characterization but no memory of the world and events in Undertale.
Though, knowing Toby Fox, there’s either a huge twist or something super meta tying the worlds together at the end. I should note I haven’t finished it yet.
Due to being made by such a small team (Toby Fox made most of the game himself, to my knowledge), Undertale has a really unique creative vision. It’s definitely Earthbound-inspired, but there’s nothing like the music, art, and humor of Undertale. It’s a game for the ages for sure.
Yep.
Hmm, would have thought the reputation preceded the community a bit more. All the more reason for people to play Deltarune, out now on Steam.
Shouldn’t one play Undertale first? Is it a sequel or a spiritual successor?

Sounds like it’ll be worth playing the first, then. I’ll do that! Thanks for the info.
No problem, friend! I hope you enjoy yourself!
