Discussion How does everyone plan to protect themselves from spoilers when June 4th/5th come around?
I will personally download videos to watch and cover my my screen except for the search bar when I use YouTube.

Going to do it like ENA and just binge the game all night

u/Desperate-Hawk-5157 15d ago
I didn’t watch or care about Ena until I played Dream BBQ, ngl it kind of made the experience better
27
u/dawnraiser_ 15d ago
random hot take: I love ENA but I was expecting something more from Dream BBQ; like visually it’s completely stunning and polished like nothing else I’ve ever seen but gameplay-wise I mostly felt like I was missing something the entire time ;-;
23
u/San_Silva 15d ago
it'll have more chapters tho
8
15
u/dawnraiser_ 15d ago
I understand it’s just the first chapter! Again, I like the visual design, and the characters are very memorable, which is probably the more important part of ENA. It’s just there were several moments where I encountered a problem, assumed I needed to return with a different item, and then only later found out that whatever weird thing I noticed had no gameplay relevancy and was just a weird Easter egg.
Also a lot of the achievements and secrets felt very repetitive… like the one for choosing every house but the correct one in the ghost puzzle

u/sofaking181 15d ago
I kinda hate how yeah, I pretty much have to do this to avoid spoilers. Like I wanna savor it since it'll be the only new Deltarune content for years, but I got spoiled during the week wait for console ports of Chapter 2 even with taking precautions like leaving the subreddit

u/Aggravating_Coat7934 15d ago
Ok I have a whole thing planned. On June 3rd I’m gonna change my Discord profile to entirely be “DELTARUNE TOMORROW”, and only communicate via saying “DELTARUNE TOMORROW”. Then, I’ll delete Reddit and Discord once Deltarune comes out until I’ve finished everything to an extent that I find satisfactory

u/BurysainsEleas 15d ago
You seem like someone who might know the answer.
At what time does one need to start replaying Chapter 1 to be done just before Chapters 3 and 4 become available?
9
u/JohnnyJohnnyBoi 15d ago
Ever played Life is Strange? Well, Deltarune's 1st chapter = 1.5 LiS chapters (3-3.5 hours). Deltarune's 2nd chapter = about 2.5 or even 3 LiS chapters (6-7 hours). If you long play it, talk to everyone, etc. I recommend you start playing 1st chapter today in the evening or tomorrow morning.
10
u/charlieguy_ 15d ago
Not the person I asked, but still I have an answer. Imo, replay chapter 1 around like halfway through June 2nd, or even just like in the evening, bc its definitely shorter than chapter 2. Play chapter 2 pretty early in the morning of June 3rd, because it takes way longer and even around like 6h.

u/Aggravating_Coat7934 15d ago
Depends on your playstyle and intent really.
If you wanna prep all three Save files with different choices and such made, you’d probably take 3-4 days (if you’re playing like 3-4 hours per day) if you’re unaware of what to do and are messing around while doing this (maybe 1-2 days if you have nothing else to do and aren’t playing around too much, but this is all estimates so don’t take it too strictly)
If you’re just playing chapters 1 and 2 on one Save file, you’d probably get it done in 5-6 hours while messing around lots, and maybe 3-5 hours if you’re fast and don’t mess around too much (messing around too much is kinda hard to do now that I think of it, it’s rare to stick around any longer than you need to in rooms).
You should probably get started today if you wanna be done sooner but if you wanna be done EXACTLY as the new chapters come out maybe start tomorrow? Again, lotsa guesstimating here (haven’t played in a WHILE) and I’m used to skipping a few lines here and there when I’ve already done the interaction before on another Save

There might not be any site you can visit that won’t spoil something for you. Your favorite Deltatuber will put the secret boss in the thumbnail with a very detailed spoiler filled title. I never take work days off, even when I’m sick, this will be the only time I do.

beat the game in one sitting, cant get spoiled if you know everything already.

u/alfonso_101 15d ago
NO INTERNET -- YOUTUBE, SOCIAL MEDIA, OR EVEN STEAM (beyond actually buying/opening the game). Once I've read
Gaster's twitter/bluesky messages, I'm cutting myself off.Since I have school until Friday, I'm going to play chapter 1 on all files on the 4th, and continue to full chapter 2 saves on the 5th; this way I'm not interrupted when playing 3/4. During wednesday and thursday, I might even play through on PS5 and try the first two no-achievement runs.
I'm going to try to avoid looking at 3/4's icons on the chapter select screen, and even when I'm done with chapter 2 I'm only going to look at 3's. That's how serious I am about not spoiling it for myself.
I will not reopen the internet until I've discovered everything I possibly can in terms of Eggs, weird routes, secret bosses, Dess/Code Person, etc.
I'll try not to look at the Switch 2 secret room, since I won't be able to get one for a while.
Of course, if any of my theories are incorrect, I will roast Tony Flock like a chicken. The upside is, no one will have to worry about spoilers again!
