PREDICTING All of Deltarune's FUTURE DARK WORLDS - Deltarune Theory

i really think "escapism" might be a better qualifier for what makes a dark world, rather than "entertainment", purely because religion is more escapism than entertainment and i'm pretty sure chapter 4's dark world will be in the church

"When was the last time you went to see a fucking play?" Me, with a career in theatre and who works at one: :^( Great vid!!

The town exploring images are actually labeled "CH4", presumably chapter 4.

A theoretical Sports-themed dark world would be the perfect setting for Jockington being a party member, to be honest. I do agree that it's doubtful we'll get one, but it would have potential, and could easily support the theory that Kris' other classmates will enter the Dark Worlds as party members at some point. Personally, I'd quite like that.

I love the idea of a book themed dark world, and a chill exploration chapter focused more on exposition and dialogue sounds great:_Doobie:

Another form of entertainment is puppets and puppet shows, which would technically fall under theater. However, churches will often include puppet shows for Sunday school and nativity recreation. Additionally, churches have choirs which would fall under music. Just a little thought.

If there’s a dark world in Rudy’s room, i bet the little Angel figurine will be important

10:42 another important part of Castle Town being able to contain any Darkner has to do with what that room is in the light world. See, it seems to me like Darkners turning to stone in other worlds isn't just about them not matching the themes of said worlds, but also to do with their physical objects not belonging in that physical space. You see a lone playing card in a computer lab, you're gonna have some questions naturally Then consider: what is Castle Town's Dark World? It's a storage closet! Literally designed to hold a bunch of miscellaneous stuff, anything can belong in a space like that

Your proposal for a book-themed Dark World is extremely compelling to me, as a Barnes & Noble employee- the way you talked about the different sections and genres, and how that could manifest in the Dark World, it makes me think of the book store I work at, and it's really fun! It could work so well- that idea has so much potential.

If there will be a book themed dark world, it would be a great opportunity to finally find out what is written in "History of Humans and Monsters"

29:24 If I remember correctly in chapter one Alphys mentions that she lent Asgore some comic books, so that's why those are there.

There is one more entertainment that you missed: art. Drawings, paintings, sewings, papier mache, clay, woodwork, metalwork, those tin foil constructions. You know, all that jazz. And there is actually prove that there will be an art dark world. Firstly, Spamton mentions at one point that they don't need easeles or CRTs. CRTs are most likely a foreshadowing to the TV dark world, so easleles might be a foreshadowing to the art dark world. Also, there just so happens to be a locked door in the school just west to the closet. Also, about music. It's interesting to point out that Onionsan reported a music coming from the dark deep waters, which was also foreshadowed by the river person in Undertale. Although idk how the gang would safely get underwater, so maybe that's where the bunker would eventually lead? Or maybe that's how the Knight decides to mass open dark portals: through the sewers? Idk, just pointing out some ideas.

The one form of entertainment I know of that you didn’t mention is traditional art. Painting, pencil drawing, sculpting, crocheting, knitting, sewing, etc. Spamton’s line “WE DON’T NEED [easels] OR [CRTs]!” potentially lends credence to it being a planned dark world theme. I was going to bring up comics, too, but you covered that.

I think the Castle Town does have a vague theming to it. Consider that the dark fountain was created inside a storage closet, and that the Castle Town is where you 'store' Darkners after you recruit them. There's a parallel here between storing the objects the Darkners are based on and recruiting them.

17:45 "When was the last time you went to see a play?" Me who saw an opera two months ago: 😅 yeah I know right....

I personally doubt there's going to be a chapter that takes place entirely in the light world. I could see one with a shorter DW and a longer LW segment, but I don't know how you could have an entire chapter set in the light world.

I have a theory called the "Project Teammate Thoery" So Noelle and Berdly are partners for the school project, and look who show up in chapter 2 TOGETHER. Jockington and Catti may appear in chapter 4 (if that is the church theme) since Catti looks like someone who wouldnt go to church, but Toby might find a way to make that happen. The quiet kid taking down the cool kid sounds extremely likely too. Catti might be the one to be manipulated into ending Jockington. Then the Snowdrake route💀

I feel that "the bunker is small so its darkworld is small" is kind of innacurate. so far both the dark worlds we play are a single room. and chapter 3 might be the whole house. but I feel like the bunker would be at least as big as a small classroom

The way I see the "Problem" with how Ch2 is part internet part computer themed, is that the Internet is the main theme of the chapter, whereas the computers are the "subgenre" that helps back up the main theme. Chapter 3 could perhaps work the same way, with TV Shows being the main theme, but it also taking inspirations from the house as a subgenre to help back up the TV Show idea Chapter 4, too, with books and (maybe) religion?
