章節
與 Undertale 不同的是，Deltarune 是一款章節式電子遊戲，遊戲劃分為數個不同的章節，靈感是來自 Live A Live[1]。

每一章節都會在前一章故事的基礎上繼續行程所選選項,物品欄,裝備和黑暗幣會在章節之間透過已完成存檔來繼承.玩家在一個章節里對某一實體的行為會影響下一章節該實體的行為;例如,在第一章與特定角色交談，會使他們在第二章有不同的對話。;以及招攬的遷移等.
某些特性會在章節之間發生變化
- 戰鬥外的Lancer餅乾在第一章時為單一成員回復4HP,而在第二章及以後則回復1HP.

章節選擇頁面有指示每個存檔是否通關和是否已獲得該章節暗影水晶的標誌.
章節數旁邊最多可出現三顆星星.星星的位置 -- 上,中,下 --分別代表著第一,而,三號位存檔.黃色星星代表該號位含有已完成存檔,空心星星代表該號檔位已被抹除的存檔中b有存檔包含已完成存檔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。
