If you've been paying attention to Twitter recently, you may well have heard about Toby Fox teasing something related to his cult hit RPG, Undertale. The official account for the charming title asked people to answer some questions by downloading a small survey programme to your PC or Mac. However, after some hands on time with the software, it's clear that it offers much more than just a few questions.
It's actually a fully playable game, allowing you to go through chapter 1 of Deltarune, which seems to be the title of the follow-up to Undertale. We won't spoil it here, but if you enjoyed the cutesy RPG at all, it's well worth checking out the "survey". It'll provide you a good couple of hours' time with the game, allowing you to get to grips with a new cast of characters, an updated battle system, and an intriguing story.
We don't know whether Deltarune will make its way to PS4 at any point, but considering the original game was eventually ported over, it's certainly not out of the question. Have you played Deltarune? Tumble down into the comments below.

Deltarune is an anagram of Untertale :^)
Oh I'm definitely into this! Undertale is one of my all time favourite games.
Well worth trying this out if you enjoyed Undertale.
Still haven't played Undertale yet. Looks a bit like Earthbound, is it worth it?
@Octane I’m apparently the only one on the planet who didn’t care for it. Perhaps I wasn’t in the right mindset at the time and maybe I’ll try it again one day, but I just didn’t get what all the fuss was about.
I really enjoyed the new direction. Looking forward to Chapter 2.
@Octane It's a charming subversion of JRPG tropes with good music, a unique battle system, and multiple routes (which are extremely different ways of playing the game).
In short: yes.
@Ralizah How much talking is in the game?
@Octane About the same amount of talking as Mother/Earthbound games. Dialog is pretty much where the game gets its charm from.
Personally I found the game not as good as the Mother games. Whereas these Nintendo RPG's are very comfy and have a charming sense of humor, Undertale can be pretty cynical and dark. But for others I hear the different approach is why they like it over those games.
@Rick_Deckard Thanks, went on and downloaded it immediately!
@Octane As much as Earthbound, I guess. It's there, for sure, but there's not hours of talking. The game is paced well, too.
@Ralizah @Kidfried That's good to know. I think I can handle that amount lol!
Definitely playing some of this tonight!
I wanted to try this game but just by looking some gameplay it just puts me off for some reason but I really love the music, Megalovania and Another Medium are my favorites songs whoever made the soundtrack it's a genius
@GKO900 All the music is by Toby Fox, who also did the vast majority of other development. It’s largely a solo project
@Quintumply Well he did an amazing job honestly if this game didn't have his music it wouldn't be as highly praise as it is, I only knew this game because of the music and remixes on YouTube 😝
Undertale starts out as a simple cutesy RPG but it gets stranger and defies your expectations in ways you can't even imagine. There is a surprisingly deep lore in the game, and you need multiple playthroughs to get the full story. And even then there will be multiple secrets and behind-the-scenes mysteries you have missed.
Higly recommend Undertale.
Didn't like Undertale so not playing this.
I'm still playing Deltarune demo, really loving it so far.
My only question though is, who is Kris and what is their relation to Frisk?
