The sound comes from Deltarune, Toby Fox's follow-up to Undertale, where Dark Fountains connect the Light World to the Dark World and their opening signals a major shift in the story. First heard when the heroes enter a new Dark World, the cue quickly became recognisable to players and spread through gameplay clips, fan edits and streams. Its mix of dread and wonder keeps it popular years later, especially for creators who want a game-accurate signal that something huge is about to begin.
