Lancer – DELTARUNE Chapter 1
About game/music
This is “Lancer” from the RPG “DELTARUNE” created by Toby Fox.
This is composed by him as well.
OST is here.
The story is about a world where monsters and humans live together, and the main character, a human, wanders into a strange world at school.
Like UNDERTALE, the game continues to use a unique battle system that you can win without killing enemies by winning their hearts.
And, as you probably know as you’ve come to this page, DELTARUNE Chapter 2 was released last September!
