Deltarune is an unusual RPG developed by Tobi Fox, an independent dev known from Undertale. The game retains a similar style but tells a completely separate story and eventually is to consist of five chapters. For the second chapter of Deltarune fans had to wait almost three years, and the release date was announced just a day before. In addition, the dev decided to make it available for free, as a support for players in difficult times. Hype around the game turned out to be so big that at the time of release the servers of Itch.io went down...

First and second chapter of Deltarune are available for free, the next three are to be paid. The dev didn't give a release date for the next chapters.
