DeltaFish: The Lurewater Chapter is a short, original Deltarune-style chapter where How to Fish's creatures are the enemies.
Kris falls through a Dark Fountain into a Dark World built from How to Fish's island. Ralsei hands over a How to Fish rod, and the creatures of How to Fish attack: the Piranha, Sea Urchin, Eel, Anglerfish and finally the lagoon's Pufferfish boss, to How to Fish's own boss music.
What you get
- Deltarune's party, battles, menus, fonts, sounds and music: FIGHT with the timing bar, ACT, MAGIC (Rude Buster, Heal Prayer, Pacify), ITEM, SPARE and DEFEND, with TP from grazing.
- How to Fish's creatures as enemies, drawn from its own 3D models, with HP, bite damage and rewards taken from their real stats in How to Fish.
- Bullet patterns made for each creature: darting piranhas, bursting urchins, eel waves, the anglerfish's lure in the dark, and the pufferfish's bounces, spike rings and inflating.
- How to Fish's Fishing Rod and Crab Fishing Rod as Kris's weapons, its catches (Clam, Salmon, Shrimp, Crab Meat) as healing items, its baits in ACTs and its sounds.
- 5 rooms: a beach, tidepools with How to Fish's shop, rickety docks, a dark cove and the lagoon with its lighthouse.
- About 10 minutes, single player. Autosave on every room.
What you need
- Deltarune (version 1.0.0.2): Melty starts the chapter and tells it where your Deltarune is.
- How to Fish (Steam): the chapter finds it in your Steam libraries, and tells you on screen if it isn't installed.
- Nothing from either game is included. On first launch (a few seconds) the chapter reads what it needs from your own two games into a private cache. Neither game is changed, launched or hooked, and How to Fish's online features are never touched.
