and don’t come back.
ok but with the goner-maker questions… gaster confirmed for being a dumbass
(Spoilers!!! Do not read this if you have not played Deltarune yet!!!)
About Deltarune’s ending
I don’t think that was Chara ripping out and imprisoning the soul.
I think that was Kris.
The real Kris.
Think about it: The game constantly gives hints that Kris is either controlled or possessed by the player.
The first time you save, you override another save file that has Kris’s name on it. That name is then replaced with the name you gave yourself (the player, not the discarded vessel) at the very beginning.
After you exit the dark world and talk to the other characters, a lot of them comment that Kris seems different and we even get a small glimpse at their personality pre-Deltarune.
And it seems like Kris wasn’t a very nice person.
They were quiet, withdrawn and known for playing pretty mean pranks on the other kids, as well as the adults (tricking Noelle into thinking they were bleeding heavily by covering their arms in ketchup, repeatedly throwing bath bombs into the toilet and flooding the bathroom).
What if that ending was essentially Kris literally ripping us, the player, out of their body so they can have control again?
Why, you ask?
To get their SAVE point back.
The first Save point establishes that Kris is aware of the save points and probably even used them already, though they weren’t aware of their true potential and didn’t call them save points. To them, they were simply “the strange light that only [they] can see”,
Until we came along.
Thanks to us taking that power away from them for a short time, Kris had the chance to observe how it might be used.
Save points can be used to fix yourself in and go back to a certain point in time. A power like that has many uses.
You could play a prank and simply go back when it goes bad for you.
You can cheat your way through life, manipulating people into doing whatever you want.
You can even come back from death.
And if that smile, as well as that knife are anything to go on, Kris now has quite a few ideas on how to use that “light”.
( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆)
This seems to hold up in an interesting manner! I spent ages constantly redoing the opening/creation to figure out how to activate the different saves. You always overwrite Kris’ save on your first run. (From what I could find, I could not find any other way than erasing my saves to return the save file to Kris.)
Once you beat the game, every run after that the save file will be empty...
Dusty Theory: (SPOILERS DUH) This might mean that we are definitely destroyed at the end of Delta Rune. Any subsequent play through resets the timeline and so when we save on the empty file, we are saving over the previously dead soul... Which Kris has not been given the opportunity to overwrite it because they’re stuck in a kind of loop
Which is fascinating! Because I can’t help but think how many times this has happened to Kris already, the cage in the corner, The stain on the floor right next to the cage and wagon... How everyone reacts to Kris oddly, MANY stating how Kris is acting differently than normal.
Delta Rune Naming
These are no where near all the secret text but just the main ones that most people will get
If you name your creation “Kris” You get this text, you also get this for a large amount of UT names (I haven’t tested all of them but so far most haven’t caused a different reaction)
If you name both the creation and the creator the same name (regardless of what it is but I used Kris for this example) I love this one, it’s so funny and snarky
THIS is if you name only the creator Kris. Very, very wonderful indeed. I find this interesting considering what happens... Edit: Happens when you name the creator Susie too, might be others as well but can’t check right now
My Theory Side:
My Insides:
please don’t forget about him ;w;
Delta Rune
Minor spoilers for Delta Rune, please play the game before looking at this stuff, although minor, the game is short and free
1: TORIEL IS WEARING THE HEART LOCKET This has been driving me nuts, I’ve not even seen anyone mention it yet but it’s bothering me...
2: Kris’ stats in the overworld (Different from the Darkner world) I like that the bandage makes a reappearance. (I just can’t help but feel this is alternate Frisk, which is awesome) Kris is also carrying a ball of junk that they are attached to... it’s very cute and sad if YOU DROP IT. I don’t appear to have the ball of junk at the start of the game... interesting
2.1: Pencil changed to normal on new file... might be because the original screenshots were from Halloween! Very fun detail (Edit: turns out it depends what weapon you have equipped, even better)
3: AND WHY IS THIS DELTA RUNE THE WRONG WAY AROUND??? I thought there was going to be a theme literally around why the bottom is upside down but nope!! It’s the only one in game so far that I’ve noticed (I hope someone finds other ones, altho I will definitely be looking again)
4: Kris looks more like Frisk than Chara but has existed just as long as both. Kris is almost Frisk just shuffled, so I’m on the boat that this is alternate Frisk.. Wears a green shirt because well, So did Asriel and Chara!
I don’t think Chara plays any specific role in this game- If anything, oddly enough... I feel like they play the narrator again, the narrator knew nothing about this world and commented on things like they didn’t know... Unlike Undertale where they learnt and talked about things they knew... This was like coming in fresh. I doubt this will be the case but I couldn’t unsee the familiar talking points (But that could be just cause, same writer lmao) but also the moment where you can ask Undyne about Alphys... That is only something someone from UT would ask because they don’t even know each other in this world... Isn’t that odd?
*Tem!Frisk gives helpful advice sometimes!
^v^
This is literally something that happened. It has saved me so much trouble
