THE FUSE

The wait for Deltarune Chapter 5 after the release of 3+4 last year was three whole years shorter than the gap between 2 and 3+4. But given where Chapter 4 ended, it somehow felt much longer. There’s something about this drawn out, episodic format that drives people a little nuts, I think, especially with a game as full of double meanings and hidden messages as Deltarune has become. I’ve been obsessively following it all for over a year now: the speculation, the datamining, the ARG, all of it leading up to the release of Chapter 5 yesterday.
