章节
与 Undertale 不同的是，Deltarune 是一款章节式电子游戏，游戏划分为数个不同的章节，灵感是来自 Live A Live[1]。

章节选择页面有指示每个存档是否通关和是否已获得该章节暗影水晶的标志.
章节数旁边最多可出现三颗星星.星星的位置 -- 上,中,下 --分别代表着第一,而,三号位存档.黄色星星代表该号位含有已完成存档,空心星星代表该号档位已被抹除的存档中b有存档包含已完成存档p to three completion stars can appear to the right of each "Chapter [#]". The alignment of the star — top, center, bottom — indicates SAVE slot #1, SAVE slot #2, and SAVE slot #3 respectively. Yellow stars are for completed SAVE files that contain a Completion FILE, while hollow stars are for erased SAVE files that contain a Completion FILE.
In the lower-right corner is a grid for collected Shadow Crystals; the three rows are for SAVE slot #, while the five columns are for the five available Chapters. A Shadow Crystal present in row 2, column 3, for example, means that a Shadow Crystal was earned in SAVE slot #2 for Chapter 3.
- Before completing Chapter 3, the Chapter Select icon is a grin with teeth, corresponding with the smile seen on the Dreemurr residence's TV at the end of Chapter 2. After completing Chapter 3, the grin is altered into a toothless smile, resembling the opening of the Knight's helmet.
- During the battle against the Hammer of Justice in Chapter 4, the Old Man describes the first five chapters of the Lord of the Hammer book, each one paralleling the events of a corresponding Chapter in Deltarune.
- The usage of Chapters in Deltarune was inspired by Live A Live.[2]
- The first five Chapters of Deltarune contain unique variations of certain optional, secretive content:
- An unused script of code titled "UNUSED", featuring the dialogue of an unknown character.
- A Shadow Crystal boss: intentionally difficult bosses who can be optionally defeated for a Shadow Crystal and exclusive equipment.
- A secret room which can only be accessed via specific requirements, featuring an appearance from the Forgotten Man and an obtainable Egg.
- Unused assets within the game files reference additional Chapters numbered 0, 8, 9, and 10. These include placeholder entries and icon graphics bearing the respective Chapter numbers, which use designs similar to those of the currently unreleased Chapter icons. These assets do not appear in normal gameplay and are generally presumed to be development placeholders or remnants of early testing rather than indications of planned Chapters.

- ↑ To be honest, if anything this LIVE A LIVE influence is even stronger in my current work. DELTARUNE. Not only is the story separated into different chapters, but the player’s character is also a sword-wielding fantasy knight, who may play another role than just a simple “hero”. - square-enix-games.com(Square Enix，2023年05月12日)LIVE A LIVE: a conversation between Yoko Shimomura and Toby Fox - part 1。
