The Closet Dark World[note 1] is the first Dark World that Kris and Susie encounter in Deltarune.
The Closet Dark World is located in the school's supply closet and consists of two areas: ?????? and Castle Town, the latter of which houses Ralsei's Castle and the Fountain of Darkness.
Main Story[]
History[]
At an unknown time, a Dark Fountain of "pure darkness" - known as the "Fountain of Darkness" - was apparently created in the school's supply closet, giving form to a Dark World.
The true age of the Closet Dark World is unknown. The Legend of Delta Rune implies the Fountain has stood tall for "millenia", allowing "LIGHT and DARK [to live] in balance". However, the Dark World is likely much younger from the perspective of Kris, Susie and the other Lightners.
Chapter 1[]
After Kris and Susie are sent by Alphys to retrieve chalk from the school supply closet, they discover a supernatural darkness emanating from the closet door, unnerving them. Going inside, Kris and Susie learn the closet interior is much bigger than expected. Unable to locate the chalk, Kris and Susie turn to leave only for the closet door to slam in their face. Suddenly, the floor gives way, and Kris and Susie enter a free-fall, disappearing into the darkness.
Some time later, Kris awakens in ?????? and reunites with Susie. After evading the attacks of a shadowed figure, the pair slide down a cliff-face and escape to Castle Town. There, Kris and Susie meet with Ralsei, who informs them (or attempts to inform them) of the Legend of Delta Rune and the emergence of the Eastern Fountain. Ralsei shares his belief that they are the Delta Warriors of the Legend; however, Lancer interrupts and attacks.
After dealing with Lancer, Susie splits off from the group and heads east. Soon after, Kris and Ralsei follow suit, travelling through the Great Door to reach the Field of Hopes and Dreams, moving from the Closet Dark World to the Card Kingdom Dark World in the process. Later, upon sealing the Eastern Fountain and returning to the Light World, Kris and Susie appear in the unused classroom, to the east of the closet and the Closet Dark World.
Thrilled by their adventure, Susie insists to Kris that they return to the Closet Dark World the next day.
Chapter 2[]
Upon re-entering the closet the next day, Kris and Susie are directly transported to Castle Town, with ?????? now being inaccessible. Ralsei greets the two, and Susie notices Lancer and other Darkners are absent. Ralsei asks her to wait, and whispers to Kris to return to the Light World and bring all the items from the unused classroom to Castle Town.
Once Kris returns with the items, the Card Kingdom Darkners appear in Castle Town and the Town Square transforms. After bringing the Darkners to Castle Town, Mr. Society can be found at the bottom of the cliff that connects to ??????. Once Kris interacts with him, he levitates to ??????.
As Kris nears the entrance, Susie expresses disinterest in doing the group project. Ralsei overhears, and "banishes" the two until they start their project. Lancer, Rouxls Kaard, and if found, Starwalker join by becoming Key Items before Kris and Susie leaves.
Following their adventure in Cyber World, Kris and Susie can freely travel back and forth between Hometown and Castle Town until the player chooses to complete the chapter. The party can find the Cyber World's denizens in Castle Town if they were recruited.
Trivia[]
- Though later Dark Worlds like Card Kingdom and Cyber World represent the contents of the Hometown location where their Dark Fountain is created, this is less clear in the Closet Dark World's case, as the closet remains covered in darkness. It is currently unknown what item(s) in the school closet would translate to become ?????? or Castle Town.
