"No one can choose who they are in this world."Blurb:  You control Kris, the only human in a town full of monsters. One day,  you and the local bully, Susie, are sent to get something from a supply  closet, and end up falling into a mysterious other dimension called the  Dark World. There they meet the Prince of Darkness, Ralsei, who tells  them that the three of them are the "Delta Warriors" of an ancient  prophecy and are destined to save the world. As they explore and fight  through the dark world, however, they soon begin to question the  prophecy and whether following it is the right decision. It also becomes  increasingly apparent that Kris is their own person separate from you -  and that they do 
not like what you're doing
Why is  it worth your time?: The game explores questions about free will and  destiny in a very interesting way, with the tension between Kris and the  player being a big highlight of that theme. Also, engaging gameplay,  fun and funny characters, lovely pixel art, and a banging soundtrack
Plural/1+ Tags:  abuse:low-focus (unless you play the alternate/secret route, which is  abuse:high-focus), 1+: otherworld, relationships:enmity,  relationships:teamwork, type:possession
Content Warnings:  non-lethal violence, minor blood, threatened apocalypse, past character  death and resulting grief, you (the player) are controlling someone  against their will, bullying, death threats, abuse is mostly  implied/referenced but there is a brief scene of verbal/emotional child  abuse, brief scene of a parent being drunk, trauma due to parental  divorce, self-esteem issues, Christianity-esque religion
The alternate/secret route involves the player forcing two characters into a manipulative, abusive relationship and murder
Accessibility Notes:  Available on Switch 1/2, PlayStation 4/5, and PC via Steam. The first  two chapters are available as a free demo, the rest is paid. The demo is  also available on Itch.io. A Japanese translation is available. All  text is on screen but there is no dub; one miniboss fight in ch 4  involves audio and visual cues with the visual cues going away after a  while, but the visual cues will stay if you die and retry more than once  or tell one of your party members that you can't hear something in the  scene prior to the miniboss. Let's Plays exist but I haven't seen any
Misc. Notes (if any):  This game is a not-quite-sequel to Undertale, and Toby Fox recommends  that you play that game first; however you will still be able to  enjoy/understand Deltarune if you haven't played Undertale. Currently,  only 4 of a planned 7 chapters are out - chapter 5 will release in 2026,  and beyond that the release schedule is unknown
