Hello, Toby. It's been 4 years since your last work, DELTARUNE Chapter 2... Finally, Chapter 3&4 are released. Please tell us how you're feeling about it.

*A long white beard runs down Toby's face. Ah... It's been 4 years... *The beard starts to consume Toby's body.

Oh, you've grown grey hair, it's been that hard on your body has it? It's been so long since the last chapter could you give the readers a recap of the game so far?

Oh, I just don't remember it's been 4 years after all...

*Toby begins thinking frantically and the beard sucks into his body in an instant.

I might be mistaken but I believe it goes something like this...

In a modern town filled with friendly monsters there's lives a human named Kris. One day they fall into a strange world after peeking into a supply closet at school. That world is called the Dark World which is created by a Dark Fountain. Kris, Ralsei and their classmate Susie are said to be the legendary heroes of prophecy. Their mission is to seal these dark fountains and save the world from calamity.

Each chapter's Dark World's environment and characters are influenced by where the Dark Fountain was formed. At the end of Chapter 2 we saw a Dark Fountain formed as a TV screen light up and laughed... So maybe that means... The next chapter might be related to television...?

So that's the gist of it. What do you think?

I only gave a rough explanation of the basic plot. I haven't touched on the jokes, the characters and their development as well as many other small things that occur so if you're someone who might be interested, please try the first 2 chapters for free! (If you've already played the game, ask your older sister or someone to play it!)

Thank you! Can you tell us a bit about what the newly released Chapters 3 and 4 will be like?

Chapter 3 is quite outlandish and completely different from a normal chapter.

There's a phrase, "a breath of fresh air," used when something helps you relax and take a breather, but Chapter 3 feels more like "a breath of helium."

I imagine there's many people who will want to play through all the chapters in one go but when it comes to Chapter 3 it might be best to take it easy and relax. Just play it bit by bit. Take breaks when you need to, there's a green room for a reason after all.

From the trailer we can see that there seems to be rhythm game that has the characters form a band. I wonder if there's going to be any other minigames in Chapter 3...?

Looking at the game as an RPG, I think Chapter 4 might be the most RPG-like yet. Maybe it really will be a breath of fresh air after playing Chapter 3. However please note if you don't listen to my instructions and forgo breaks you could run out of steam here. If you like cutscenes, you're in luck because there are a lot of them in this chapter, especially in the beginning.

As with the earlier chapters, there are many little details in both 3 and 4 that you might miss your first time through so if you feel like you missed something feel free to play through them again. I don't think I've mentioned this before anywhere but once you've finished a chapter you can skip the intro. Please look at the place the main character was sleeping to do this.

Thank you Toby! That's all for this interview. Stay tuned for part 2 which will be released tomorrow!
