Future chapters edit
Toby Fox has also teased the music for future chapters of the game on his website and Deltarune's email newsletters, including the tracks "Hometown Day," "My Funky Town," "Green Room," and one unused song "Sneaking."
Reception edit
Adam Luhrs of RPGFan reviewed the soundtrack of Chapter 1 and described it as ranging "up and down the history of video game music" and also noted how the soundtrack "mash[es] disparate elements together." Luhrs also stated that there's "[a] thread of darkness and mystery that weaves through the soundtrack," citing that some of the tracks made him feel "uneasy." Luhrs said that the soundtrack "has a complete arc," and said that the included tracks "spark of creativity and clever thematic structure."[5] The soundtrack for Chapter 1 was nominated for a G.A.N.G. / MAGFEST People's Choice Award in 2019.[6]
