The Ruins is replaced with a new area called “Frostmarrow Catacombs,” an area inspired by the Dungeon from Terraria. The area is filled with snow and ice, occasional bone props are scattered around. 

Papyrus is the self-proclaimed Ruler of it.

Besides that, a bench (Gerson’s bench in Deltarune to be exact) replaces the save stars. The Vessel can sit and relax on them for a while and write down their progress into their journal.

[ ★ DAWNLIGHT ★ ] - Stay Frosty

??: I'm... I'm sorry about, uh, all of that.
??: I didn't really want to, to dance.
??: Don't even know how, actually...
??: Especially since my, my joints don't have the... Th-the limitations that the living's would.
??: But stopping you? I-it... Kind of just comes with the... 
??: The job description, you know?
??: My Necromancer said so.
??: ...
??: Anyways, guess I should... Y-you know, introduce myself, right?
??: I'm Kartofell.
KF: Technically the... The only sentient Scarecrow in, in the bunch.
KF: The rest are just a, a cheap replacement for... For a Combine Harvester, haha...
KF: Wait.
KF: bloody hell i'll have to harvest the entire thing myself holy sh-
KF: ... Y-yeah, they... They only come on the Harvest Moon, and you waited that one out, so... 
KF: I've got to get, get back to work before we... Before w-we lose the entire harvest.
KF: ...
KF: But before I, I leave you be, I'm... I'm going to give you a...
KF: A little warning.
KF: The name Skellington sound familiar?
- I nodded solemnly, but said nothing.
KF: I... I suppose he sent his... 'Shiverers' to get you, haha...
KF: But that won't be, be the end of this.
KF: I can assure that he... He's rather determined to stop you...
KF: Because if you free Echrosia, he's... Uh, kinda screwed?
KF: Or rather, o-our dad is screwed...
KF: Because Skellington happens to, you know, be my Brother.
KF: A-adoptive, not biological...
KF: But he likes me. So if he... If he's giving you any grief, give me a call, alrighty?
KF: I might be able to talk a... A-a little sense into him.
- Before I could object, the Scarecrow before me ripped a small shred of cloth from his tattered sleeve.
- He then produced a snapped pen from his pocket, and scrawled down a series of numbers in frantic, smudged handwriting.
- I didn't have the heart to tell him I left my phone at home...
KF: I uh... Guess I'll see you around?
KF: Maybe??
KF: Just... Please stay safe.
KF: I-I'm rooting for you...

ECHROSIA - Scare(d)crow

This was written during 2020, and was largely a response to popular fan theories about Noelle's role in Chapter 2 being bleak, dreary, or otherwise depressing. Not that we don't make the poor girl suffer in TSTP or anything, but I felt as though the mood surrounding my favourite fictional deer person was a little too dour for my tastes, so a happier theme tune was in order.

Inspired by gospel music, a genre I admittedly only have a passing knowledge of from pop culture and my exposure to Pentecostal music as a child listening to my uncle play drums for his local church on weekend stays, this is a theme for Noelle that I intend on making into a base for future motifs and themes. The logic behind it is best described by the culinary arts; this is the mother sauce, and all themes after this one are your marinaras, cheese sauces, Bearnaise, and so on. By making the base theme more cheerful, I hope to make Noelle's story seem more optimistic and hopeful. Like I said before, she's going to be going through a lot, and it'll be happening sooner than you think.

Another inspiration was, weirdly enough, Aeris' theme from FFVII. This was born from a habit of mine I got in college where I would combine two different songs from different games/genres/mediums because they share the same tempo and key (my most recent example of this is Anakin's Betrayal from Revenge of the Sith and Soul of Cinder from Dark Souls 3, it's surprisingly fitting). Because I often do this "live" on the piano, it expanded naturally from there.

This one's getting mega-scrapped. Nice song, but no way is this even going to remotely fit anything in TSTP, especially not the Noelle replacement, and the Lost Girl motif is the final nail in the coffin.

Near And Deer (OLD)

This track was completed some time in 2020, and the in-game version will sound somewhat different to this one. Think the pizza delivery minigame from Spiderman 2 on the PS2 for what I'm going for.

Minigames are something I generally enjoy, as they are best used as breathers and distractions from heavier and more serious segments of games. Some of my favourite games, such as the Yakuza series, are almost entirely made up of them, with the main story existing as an obligation rather than a selling point. While many of these track descriptions might give the impression that TSTP is a dour and grim experience, I plan on incorporating many minigames into the worlds that the Lightners will explore, most of them being optional. No, I won't be locking the best gear in the game behind them. No, the mandatory ones won't be a chore. No, I will not program a dancing/rhythm minigame, even at gunpoint.

What I especially love about this theme, wherever I choose to use it in the final game, is that it carefully balances between whimsy and terror, a situation that is fun but also a little harrowing. This gives me greater flexibility in where I place this theme, although admittedly I'm gravitating towards Chapter 2 for its slightly jazzier, urban qualities.

(Written 16th November, 2022)

This one's basically good to go for all kinds of situations. It's definitely getting used somewhere.

Bellybutton Blues (OLD)

This track was not written for TSTP at first, and was instead for someone else's project involving the living aspects of the Seven Deadly Sins. This one was, naturally, Greed's theme. I intend on taking more of those tracks and finding places for them in TSTP because they were written with the same style in mind.

This theme plays in an unremarkable part of the game wh- HEY GET AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER STOP YOU'RE GOING T-

G'day, Lightners! Chester 'ere! Today, I'm gonna tell you all about me and my theme tune, For The Taking! So basically, this song plays whenever I do my thing, and my thing is stealin' anythin' and everythin' that ain't bolted down! Kris and the others won't know what hit 'em! Err... he left some notes here... apparently it's based on an old tune called "We Are Number One"? And he added the bongos at the last minute because he wanted to tie it further to the area it'll be first played in? I'll be honest, I've got no bloody idea what he's yappin' about, but he's lookin' at me all angry like from across the room so I'm gonna bounce. Catch me later, ya big rippas!

...oh my god I'm so sorry you had to read all of that. My computer isn't letting me delete anything she said. You weren't supposed to meet her until- Oh forget it. Yeah. New song. Woo.

Chester may not even stay Aussie, considering what I plan on doing w- OH COME ON AGAIN SERIOUSL-

Don't listen to that load of ol' rubbish! I'm stayin' as Aussie as Tim Tams! Also, they're a girl now? Struth, my condolences. Whatever evil witch cast that spell on ya, we'll find 'em in a jiff and give 'em a right seein' to! Wait what do you mean you "like" bein' a girl? There's no witch either? Wow, it's worse than I thought. We better hurry and find 'er before she puts a curse on another innocent game dev!

FREE VIDEO GAME MUSIC PACK – Welcome to the Castle

Thus Spoke The Prophecy is an independently produced game made by a small team of enthusiasts, which will be released for free upon completion. Originally a Deltarune fangame, it has since grown into its own thing, with a cast of entirely original characters, a distinctive aesthetic reminiscent of early PS1 RPGs, and a complex, nuanced narrative that will please veterans of the genre, as well as being a friendly introduction to newer players to the storytelling potential and depth of gameplay that RPGs have to offer.

TSTP started life as a series of speculations about the story of Deltarune, shortly after the release of Chapter 1. Several people contributed and built upon one another, until we had a cohesive and compelling narrative. With an original soundtrack being composed by myself and art provided by several good friends of mine, we have spent the last five years developing this project into a state where we feel comfortable sharing it with the world!
