You need some sort of "evidence" to make a theory in the first place
There is 0 info aiming at even the slight posibility of Noelle's mom being a human
There is a bigger chance of her being a fricking Gyftrot than a human

Anon, you did remember to call your mother today, did you not?

This may sound like copium but I still have faith that FRIEND INSIDE ME is real, but that kott FRIEND will be more of a recurring antagonist

Admirable you guys are still keeping up the stealth general thing

Actual discussion about an upcoming game happens here. True generals are just resident schizos bickering, and porn.

IMG_5879.png - 800x1200, 55.56K

Ok but what about Susie? Why do you all ignore the main character?

IMG_3513.jpg - 750x570, 67.67K

FRIEND will obviously be the NPC for that new castletown minigame.

Nobody's trying to hide anything
That's just how it is

FRIEND actually probably isn't the next schizoboss. At the very least they won't be treated like Jevil and Spamton

If Gaster is a cat, then were Sans and Papyrus originally cats?

Ma (間) means space/interval.
Ma.ogg is a multilevel pun that could refer to the shadow mantle (i.e. the "cape") turning you into nothingness

cape.png - 821x116, 7.28K

There's not much to speculate about. Susie doesn't really bring anything to the table but herself. Not that's a bad thing, she's pretty great.

I was under the impression generals weren't allowed since Anon Babble exists but I guess Anon Babble hasn't been updated in a decade so who knows anymore.

He certainly has a way with words.

not a female

SHIT

this is how you get the shadow mantle

Schizobosses lost their mind when they were gifted shadow crystals. The cat seems like a different entity as a whole from those, probably someone from The Abyss.

My personal fantasy fan service dream HAPPENING is a secret chapter 0 where the party is Asriel, Dess and Pizzapants.
Can't decide which one I'd want to be your "player character"

friend is the knight

seconding Deltarune had actual news drop a few days ago and releases in about a month.
A fake general would be something like that faggot who has been making daily maplestory threads and nostalgiabaiting over a version of a game that he's too retarded to play right now.

FRIEND will act as the Anti-Ralsei. He'll try to entice Kris and the FUN Gang to delve deeper, to keep searching, to learn the truth. He'll be a bit harsher, but always truthful, compared to Ralsei's softer yet strange demeanor. You gotta follow the cat into the backalleys

Spend some time on Anon Babble and you'll learn what a real general looks like, the horrors of it all
Until then you can wait to submit your janny application

Hey, I played the game

Yeah but it's been a continuous stream of threads for like a week.

Who else besides Asriel? He already has a habit of contacting You outside of the game.

so that's why King was a walking shadow before spreading his cape?

we have catty & catti

Schizobosses lost their mind when they were gifted shadow crystals.

The NEO body had the crystal, at least assuming Seam knows a lot about what they are and where they come from

Well, what have we here! You managed to find another Shadow Crystal...

Oh, is that so? That salesman had found the crystal in the old machine...?

I wonder... if perhaps, long ago, that old machine was very important to someone.

as soon as someone becomes a player character they lose most of their agency though
they wouldn't be "themselves"

all those meanings that can fit how the shadow mantle could potentially be used, whether it's the king becoming a hollow/empty shadow of himself, to disappear during the stealth section, to go between relationships (and lead to further weird route fuckery), and further meanings I might be missing at the moment

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The NEO body had the crystal

Yeah, but Spamton had the crystal before going inside the NEO body. The guy at his house door says so. I assume he found it there, which is weird when you consider that in Jevil's case he was given one by a strange man.

The body IS the artifact he's referring to, not the crystal inside it.

Sometimes I wonder if avoiding Toby's spoilers would make for a better experience.
I'm doing that for Silksong at least.

we have enough perfectly understandable mantle hints in the game anyway, it is just another hint to add to the pile

nobody knows where jevil got the crystal, not even seam. that being said if jevil embodies part of somebody else's dream like spamton neo did, WHO?

IMO jevil got his crystal from the devilsknife.

not bad

That fan interpretation was t canon, simple as. Plus acknowledging Gaster in merch ruins the mystique, I mean Gaster is probably the most mysterious video game character recently with a bit of presence about him so acknowledging him would take that away

How do I check my vessel, I wanna see what past me was cookin

Not really, but it's extremely fitting that Gaster's card ended up being abandoned and declared non-canon

that's not what gaster looks like, simple as.

NO WAAAAAAY

I'M NOT ASKING WHY GASTER GOT REPLACED, IT'S OBVIOUS WHY!
I'M ASKING IF THERE'S ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO SPECIFICALLY GERSON REPLACING GASTER. DOES HE KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T? IS HE THE KNIGHT?

computer, generate FRIEND, feral, female

Gerson is an anagram for goners

Old enough to have coexisted and met Gaster

Has some meta knowledge from pure life experience

Explains the meaning of the Delta Rune

Dead in Deltarune but his name is still noticed by Gaster in the goner make sequence

His son is the priest of the Angel religion

Talks about dreams and creativity

Writer or history and fiction, his work has been hyped up by the game

Former badass in the UT timeline

Former teacher in the school

The drawing of him in the unused classroom

The weird stuff going on in the graveyard

maybe

We are the $!$? squad and we're going to town, beep beep.
Now ain't that a line which sticks in the mind?

Has the new ARG content influenced the prevailing opinion of why Kris opens the fountain no matter what at the end of chapter 2? Or is it still

FIND HER

It's not like it's new information (hell, it's one of the oldest observations), but don't forget, EGG in Wingdings is the movement of a knight in chess.

Would this count as a reverse wasei-eigo of sorts?

i'd believe that deltarune is a real life The King in Yellow.

FRIEND was created to keep Dess happy, wherever she is. It didn't quite work out, but the creator had good intentions. Noelle is friends with Catti, right? So Noelle's sister also needs a yellow and pink cat friend. That makes sense in a science way.

Significant anagrams in Undertale/Deltarune

Dreemurr = murderer

Undertale = Deltarune

Asriel = Ralsei

That's it. It's not even close to as big of a thing as people pretend it is.
Gerson isn't a goner, he has nothing to do with goners or the Gaster Followers. If Gerson is supposed to be a significant anagram what about his full name, Gerson Boom? Surely his last name is also part of this classic cryptic Toby Fox hint. What about Alvin?
There are plenty of actual narrative comparisons you can draw between him and Gaster based on what's actually in the game without reaching like that. Trying to force patterns and meaning that aren't there is legitimate schizo shit that just undermines whatever point you're trying to make.

Tenna pretty much looks like what people were guessing

is this riffing on CATS dialogue? The All Your Base guy?

Yeah, it's fun tho
It'll be fun to whip out the folder of this cat later, like all the other fan art that will be demystified
I could be wrong, we'll see

tell me what (you) think or want a bout dess

The funny thing is that the Susie=Issue anagram is actually legit

I wish I could be playing it without having to be dealing with adult life shit
Tobert, why did you take so long?

I think that's going to happen. Doesn't Asriel's computer have a god-like character he made? I think there are other similar instances of stuff like that as-well.

this is what happened to kris in the bunker

My crack theory is that they were originally exes in the Undertale universe. Gaster killed Gerson in the Deltarune universe as revenge/for the lulz. Now Gerson's spirit is really pissed so he's fucking with Gaster's fanfic in the afterlife and might be connected to the Angel, I dunno.

I'm curious what ending you get if you avoid as much optional dialogue / interactions as possible and any hidden bosses etc.
The idea makes me think of this game called Who's Lila? where the gameplay is contorting your facial expression (sometimes as it fights your controls) and there's an ending for making your completely non-emotive for every piece of dialogue.
Deltarune gives you chances to do stuff like not watch Susie, not gesture at all on the ride with Ralsei, etc.
But IDK, if you can start up the game from ch7 then that might just be the ending you'd get.

I'd rather be wrong like the other anon said than any of this gay shit

If this is actually true, is it going to be a weird-route? The new webpage says "Not applicable. But..."
I personally think it might be a challenge run, since Susie is sleeping you might have the choice not to wake her up and just solo (or duo if Ralsei shows up) the entire chapter

Toby probably chose the name Susie because it was an anagram of issue but it's a serious reach to say that particular achievement means you can complete ch3 without Susie. It's just there to imply there IS a way to complete chapter 3 "with issue"

The boss is going to be the artist inside the how to draw dragons book.

shadow mantle will be used to block their paint

pacifist route ends with you getting the sky mantle

violence route ends with you getting a paintbrush weapon for Kris

One day while Andy was masturbating, Woody got wood. He could no longer help himself! He watched as Andy stroked his juicy kawaii cock. He approached Andy which startled him and make him pee everywhere on the floor and on Woody too. Being drenched in his urine made him harder than ever! Woody: "Andy Senpai! I'm alive and I want to be INSIDE OF YOU." Andy: "Oh Woody Chan! I always knew you were alive! I want to stuff you up my kawaii ass!" Woody grabbed a bunch of flavored lube and rubbed it all over his head Woody: "Oh my! It's cherry flavored lube! Cherry is my favorite! Woody then stuffed his head up into Andy's tight ass! The other toys around the room watched intently as Woody shoved his head back and forth into Andy's nice ass, continuously making a squishy wet noise. The other toys also became aroused and they all gathered around Woody and Andy and started to urinate all over them, and then they started to masturbate. Andy: "Oh my goodness, Woody Chan! You are churning my insides up so well! Your nose is stimulating my prostate! OH YES! All the other toys became so aroused by this, that they could not help themselves anymore! They pushed Woody completely inside, and they all went inside. All of them wanted to be inside Andy's nice round ass. Andy: "No wait guys! My ass cannot hold this much! I'm getting so full! All the toys went inside of poor squirming Andy and pretty much, he was beyond full, and died from having his insides completely damaged. The mother came inside and found Andy, dead with a huge ass hemorrhage on his anus, with a HUGE belly full of toys.

but it's a serious reach to say that particular achievement means you can complete ch3 without Susie

You could do that in Chapter 2 so I don't see how that's a reach.

still cant believe it was that straightforward

What is this assault on my eyeballs

It was really cool. I'm not into the ARG part of it (i just can't be bothered to do outside of game stuff, im thankful people here solve the Deltarune stuff so fast), but the gameplay was so novel.

She’s somehow the most normal of the main cast

flowey moment

It's obviously a double meaning.
He's not doing weird-route exclusive trophies, but you can get the trophy by completing the chapter on either the normal or the weird route.

FRIEND is the guy stepping all over Gaster's keyboard and ruining his plans.

the fact that it used to be Suzy

We have concept art and files going back years before the Undertale update that teased "Suzy," Susie's name has always been spelled "Susie." It is intentionally spelled differently only in Undertale for reasons we can only speculate about, but it was never the name of the Deltarune character.

Didn't toby imply there's a specific challenge you can do where you get no achievements?

Counterpoint: Does Gaster know that Snowgrave is even possible? Snowgrave is the "wrong save" and is likely what Gaster does not want. Why would he make an achievement for a Snowgrave route?

toby.fangamer.com/newsletters/release-time/

The way things are set up, you'll only receive a trophy once the current "room" where you unlocked it ends. You'll miss getting it if you turn off the game before then. So be careful while completing all four chapters.

Especially, there may be certain conditions where you will miss acquiring the CHAPTER END trophies. I don't think it's something an average player would run across, however…

Toby is implying that if you fulfill "certain conditions" (Weird Route) you can actually change the ending of certain chapters, and therefore fail to get the achievement which is set up only to trigger when you complete them normally ("WITHOUT ISSUE.")
Toby hates trophies but this is actually a pretty cool way to reinforce the idea that the Weird Route is forcing the game off the script. And it's really cool to have it basically confirmed that we can really change the story going forward, unlike with Snowgrave where you still got exactly the same ending.

I think he's referring to the original PS3 achievements interview where he said he wanted to do something to fuck with people because achievements were permanent.

game developers serve the players. trying to fuck with the players is just obnoxious

Have you considered that nobody likes you?

Dear Anon Babbleaggots, if you really want to shit up Deltarune threads, just make up a fake AI boogeyman story, worked for Mario Kart, and look at how Anon Babblehu is currently shitting up Anon Babble over a real AI case right now

ICE-E would like to remind you that sometimes Anon Babbleanitors pay more attention to things like "trolling outside of Anon Babble" or "avatar usage" than Anon Babble does.

Deltarune threads are the new Smash/MysteryNiggas generals, complete janny blindspot

It's just a game, autist.

Does he know? Hard to tell.
The real question is: Does he care?
And personally, I don't think so, not out of malice but being a scientist, he should share that kind of curiosity that we have and he might see our exploration of things like Snowgrave as an indirect route to whatever new future he's hoping to create.

Except Goner versions of random, non-related to Gaster, characters already exist like Goner Kid being the Goner version of Monster Kid. The Vessel has the same stripes as Frisk, assuming she's a Goner version of Frisk isn't too farfetched.

Where will we hear the full version of Don't forget? Final epic battle? Emotional moment after the climax? Credits of the last chapter?

Place your bets, will we get any more Gastermails before release? Will it take longer? Will it never come back?

Chapter 7 credits, duh

Thanks, anon.

I cannot believe that I was in higschool when this game was first released.
He is a perfectionist, showboat, media genius, lazy bum, and too soft of a project manager.
That is why the average release time between chapters will be 2.2 years on June 5.

I cannot believe that I was in higschool when this game was first released.

It blows me away that by the time this game is fully released, my kid might actually be old enough to play it all.

Shopkeeper with a connection to the secret boss?

There's no particular reason this has to continue, but the way Toby handles shopkeepers with their extensive and reactive dialogue options makes them the natural choice to deliver exposition like this

Secret boss being really short?

This is already broken. Spamton NEO is the secret boss, not base Spamton

So what arbitrary pattern do you think is gonna be broken first?

Shopkeeper with a connection to the secret boss?

Not sure, they're a really good way to dump exposition.

Secret boss hinting at next worlds main boss?

I feel this will be consistent up until near the end.

Not very important one off miniboss being some kind of cat?

You mean Clover or K. Round?

Main boss being really tall?

This, Tenna is almost confirmed to be a manlet

Secret boss being really short?

This feels like a coin toss to me.

Anything else I missed?

Dark worlds based around entertainment, already broken with the church.
One dark world per day, I feel chapter 4 will happen later in the same day chapter 3.
Eggs being found by going in and out of a room.
Soul modes being tied to secret bosses.

tenna is going to be short because he's secretly the schizo boss. the only way to ever discover his schizo identity is via fucking around with the shadow mantle

Huh, I was talking about clover (and tasq manager) but mentioning k round reminds me of another 2 point pattern.

Milk bosses that have to be beat nicely.

Would you prefer I post futa of her instead?

when you learn that the cat is dess

One more:

secret bosses are based on discarded things.

Seam tells you:

* Well, what have we here! You managed to find another Shadow Crystal...

* Oh, is that so? That salesman had found the crystal in the old machine...?

* I wonder... if perhaps, long ago, that old machine was very important to someone.

* A certain Lightner, perhaps... or maybe it's just a hunch. Haha!

* At any rate, it's truly unfortunate a Darkner decided to steal that power...

* Or, is it fortunate? Because of that, you found a new Crystal.

I feel everyone got it wrong about the schizo bosses. Shadow Crystals are made specifically when a lightner puts a lot of soul into something but then leave it behind, and a darkner might end up in possession of it. Maybe Jevil stole it too, might have belonged to Seam at some point.

You think Lanino and Elnina will use milk too?

Imagine if the "freedom motif" just never shows up again in any track

I hope. It works so well as a Jevil leitmotif.

nono, what you're seeing here is a discarded/unwanted/forgotten thing clinging onto somebodies hopes and dreams in a pitiful bid for power and affection.

Would you prefer I post futa of her instead?

I would pefer it if you just post normal stuff and not stalk temmie.

If I want the lore and the awful truth of this world, I just need to keep going to the LEFT.

Is there any value to net he neutral route? So far, deltarune only gives you pacifist but worse, since it forces you through subliminal messaging to get the recruits. Whereas Undertale, you can get a legit experience, and you dont have to go out of your way to attack enemies.

Quick tldr regarding the recent Toby Schizoposting teasing?

Both neutral and the aborted snowgrave have unique consequences thus far, we just haven't seen them pan out.

someone give me a rundown of the plot so far

read the thread you faggot tourist

deltarune's neutral route is when you mindfuck noelle but choose not to kill berdly.

But its fun to not post normal stuff and to stalk her.

meowmeowmeowmeowmeow

He posted it again

CATS

the poor children, lost where the forest would grow.

There, all caught up.

Most definitely. Turning into weapons/armor seems like a no-brainer reward, so it will probably continue.

a kid has a mental breakdown and nobody cares

I'm not. That's why I'm saying tldr, retard.

Pacifist ending

Player and Kris finally separate, Player gets their vessel and can move freely in it. You get to explore the town as the real you, getting to meet the townsfolk who are all grateful that you saved their world. You're also able to hop to the Castle Fountain to gab with the Darkners. Kris tags along as well and gets tons of spoken lines and their own unique portrait. You also take a picture with the Fun Gang.

It becomes apparent that because the player "Doesn't belong" in either world and no longer has Kris as their vessel to anchor them they're going to turn to stone just like Darkners would have, though your soul delays the transformation significantly and will return to you in your own world unharmed when it happens. It's also made clear that everyone's memories of you will likely be erased when you leave.

When you're finally ready to say goodbye and finish the game you pick a spot for your vessel to become a statue. Ralsei prompts you one last time to think about all of the friends you made and how they're doing right now.

The full version of Don't Forget plays as the perspective pans over various events. A tearful reunion of the Holiday Family, Asgore and Toriel mending their relationship, etc.

The song wraps as you finally finish turning to stone.

Neutral doesnt seek to give you anything, whereas pacifist gives you more health for the giga queen fight.

The biggest issue I have, is so far, there is no in-game incentive to playing neutral the character your around all the time, Ralsei, is constantly nagging you to not attack anything, with no one to suggest anything else.I dont want to do either of the two extremes, the pacifist route, or the weird route, both ideas feel unnatural to me. Inorganic, that's a way to describe it. Sparing everything feels INORGANIC.

Quick tldr regarding the recent Toby Schizoposting teasing?

Give me some you's and I'll tell you.

Why doesn't Kris like Ralsei?

Dess molested Kris, that's why they quiet

Asriel kills Dess to stop it

Asgore covers up the situation, gets dismissed from the force and divorced by Toriel due to the pecularity of the case from outside perspective and his silence on it

Rudy knew what Dess was doing and holds himself accountable for his inaction so he doesn't blame Asgore

Kris ends up with serious mental & emotional consequences from the abuse and subsequent family shitstorm

Kris develops a traumatic attachment to Dess

One day Kris & Susie discover the Dark World

Kris gets the idea they can bring back Dess, either literally or a Darkner representation of her, using the Dark World

(You) are here

dess concept.jpg - 881x900, 132.33K

I'm not too convinced, considering all the hoops you have to jump through to even get the snowgrave route going.

Because Kris is a straight white male who wants to fuck Susie like me

You can get the Thorn ring if you abort Snowgrave, thus heading into neutral

No I meant transform as in change appearance/design like Spamtom did

Because he wants to fuck the real Asriel, not a copycat.

You get stronger every time you defeat an enemy. Your HP gains are capped per chapter but your other stats aren't.

All aborting Snowgrave does is let you keep the ThornRing (and FreezeRing). There is no actual benefit to this because Noelle leaves your party and you cannot craft the Twisted Sword.
It is, I think, pretty absurd to believe that Noelle is not going to join your party ever again for the rest of the game and that this is the intended only opportunity to ever get the ThornRing.

Are all incidents connected? Snowstorm warning points to September 18th, does this have anything to do with the children that got lost in the forest and required therapy?

Ralsei has a neutral relationship value to account for the player being able to treat Ralsei kindly or cruelly.
Also Kris literally just met him yesterday compared to the much more significant history they have with Susie and Noelle.

ralsei smile.png - 1716x1782, 25.15K

Are those...

Why do people act like kris sharing a room with Asriel is some slam dunk for them being male. The dreemurrs literally don’t have any spare rooms so it’s not like they’d have any other options.

Epic GENDAR discussion.
Get out.

Americans cannot imagine that their mother would not suspect them of being a sex criminal

kris diner.jpg - 2296x1849, 400.87K

PROCEED

The sctizoposting started when A youtuber made a thory called "woody theory" and after that people started making jokes based off of the theory and some old toby fox song called "friend inside me".

The actual slam dunk is Pizzapants casually talking to Kris about his date.

Exactly. Considering how desperate Pizzapants is for a girlfriend, do you really think he wouldn't consider Kris as an option if he were a girl?

what if pizzapants doesn't know

I don't think Pizzapants wants to get in jail over Kris, but that just wasn't the kind of conversation a guy has with a girl.

I thought PP was supposed to be way older than them

Mindbreaking Noelle and killing Berdly so my boy Kris has no competition to Susie's heart. Snowgrave is the correct choice.

he's implied to be around the same age as Asriel, which in turn isn't that much older than Kris.

typical toby being lame

Most people think there's a large age gap between them for whatever reason.

ruined

By sheer accident Frisk really is the only success at an androgynous human in terms of perception

If it's skinny as a rail
That's an Epic Fail

it's because the sprite is really bad.

Now THAT's more like it, finally a fuckable kot that isn't a lard

I saw an anon saying that FRIEND could be something that belongs inside Seam. Could it be his stuffing? Seam always has his eyes shut and his mouth hardly ever opens, and it would make sense with all of Toby's Friend Inside Me shitposts.

yuck, dial it back nigger

not really, most assume they're a chick

I mean being fair, Frisk mostly succeeds specifically because none of the secondaries that scream and shit about Undertale are even really too aware that they exist.
Because they didn't play the game.

Didn't mean to respond

Frisk is the perfect self-insert for us players to puppet, no agency, no likes, no preferences to what it wears or does

That's asking 90% of the thread to leave

Kris is male
Frisk is male
Chara is female

Source?

Me.

Proof?

Because I said so.

I mean that's not really true either.

Nah Chara too.
It's Just Kris that's 100% male coded.

How am I supposed to fuck this?

Seam being FRIEND is a theory that has as much credibility as FRIEND being Spamton. Which is to say, if you put both designs side by side and claim they have a link, you start to see things that aren't actually there.
It's POSSIBLE, but also highly likely to be nothing more than just a coincidence. I've seen people trying to tie the face to the smile in the static, Sans's smile, ICE-E's smile, Burgerpants's smile, the Gaster Blaster face, etc. It only matches up because you try to have it match up.

Frisk and Chara are cute girls, Kris is their onichan.

ICE-E's smile

Is very similar to Noelle's smile

Based. My undertale and deltarune is like that. Tobias be damned.

Just to fuck with people, Toby should make Kris get period cramps

He already made her have cravings.

Stop trying to force your gay gender discussion while still clearly not interacting or replying to anyone else in the thread you obnoxious faggot.

Surefire way to get kids away.l, that's for sure. If the freaky stuff didnt already scare them away.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Dont mind him, hes a holdover from reddit. They cancel people there for saying Kris is a boy.

The devices.

I remember reading a copypasta about Deltarune being Toby inserting a bunch of subliminal shit so that in the end he will trigger a vision of his dream on the players
The last few days got me feeling that anon was into something

There is no actual benefit to this because Noelle leaves your party and you cannot craft the Twisted Sword.

dumbass, you have it backwards, the weird route is the one where noelle leaves the party and you lose the thorn ring. aborted route gives you the thornring, silver watch, AND lets noelle learn snowgrave.

Didn't people use this to try and prove that FRIEND isn't real because none of the other devices are characters. I wonder how those people are doing now.

catty isn't fat

how can i get off to this

Could Mozart still be alive?

catti at the other hand.

News to me. From what I remember, people at the time thought that Device_Friend was clearly a meta character on the same level as Gaster/Asriel before it became apparent that darkners that isn't just Ralsei are also privy to stuff.

when the catty isn't fatty

Wasn't it apparent with Seam?

So, are we more insane than the FNAF fandom?

They only thought it was Seam, Ralsei, and the bonus bosses for some reason.

people are working themselves into a frenzy over the POSSIBILITY that this random image is a cat schizoboss (despite it being in a cat minigame where it would be easier for file organization to just name every type "cat_something") so yes

Queen fucking quotes Gaster out of nowhere in the weird route

in my experience most people either didn't give a shit or claimed friend was a nothingburger. let alone how many people didn't give a shit about it being a cat. people don't actually like theorizing they just like to pretend they do.
I had two different theories validated, I'm eating well and you guys can all [eat shit] in a [dumpster] for all I [only $24.99 care packages for african children in need order NOW!]

friend was either a cat or a guitar, there was nothing else that made sense. at this point I'm starting to think it might be BOTH.

Who thinks Friend is a schizoboss? I've seen basically no one suggest that.

Queen fucking quotes Gaster out of nowhere in the weird route

Citation needed

we're the descendants of homestuck
expecting anything less is only wishful thinking

anon, you didn't need cat_009 to know it was a cat. that was just the lynchpin for normalfags. you're being stubborn

I personally think he'll be an ally for You after the events of either chapter 3 or 4. He's something more than Jevil or Spamton.

she says darker darker dream in the weird route
im not going to the text dump to copy text again

also bendy & the ink machine.

retarded, retarderer, yet retarderer

darker yet darker dream
it's all scripted, all of it. ralsei's not the only one following it. spamton is trying his harders to break free from it.

Lowkey sounds like something Queen would say lul

So, has Toby finally made Deltarune too meta heavy for most people to understand it?

the weird route is the one where noelle leaves the party

Noelle leaves your party as soon as you reunite with Susie and Ralsei regardless. The only enemy you have the opportunity to use SnowGrave on is Berdly. There is no other current purpose to the ThornRing beyond empowering Noelle to use that attack to end that boss fight.
It is very likely that Noelle will join your party again at some point in the future, especially on the Weird Route, at which time you will be able to collect the ThornRing from her, so there is no purpose in keeping it now.
I am also extremely skeptical of the idea that you would be intentionally rewarded for murdering a bunch of Darkners by being allowed to keep Noelle's overpowered equipment and insta-kill spell just because you back out of killing Berdly at the last second. I don't think there's even a guarantee that Noelle will obey a command to cast SnowGrave again in the future Weird Route, it's pretty clearly intended for the special case of the Berdly fight. The exploit allowing you to use it on normal enemies after aborting Snowgrave was patched.

I recall people thinking it was Dess' guitar. I didn't put much thought into at the time because the information didn't quite click until the sweepstakes and the Valentine card which people thought was Gaster but I feel it was apparent he doesn't speak like that. Ever since chapter 2 happened and I went in the base, I always thought of pic related in the inaccessible room in Undertale. Friend is most likely more than a darkner.

There's definetly a big meta component to it, but as of now, I think someone could play the game normally without really noticing or having to take into account the meta aspects. Kris can easily pass for your typical mute protagonist.

dude read through the subhuman faggot shit being spammed by Anon Babble retards that has nothing to do with the new info and is just cocksucking circlejerk chatroom faggotry

No fuck you. Summarize what's been found. I'm not reading through this shit spewed by Anon Babble cancer.

all I'm hearing from you is a bunch of opinions that aren't actually based in the reality of the game. you can get EVERY benefit from the weird route without actually killing berdly, and somehow you don't think this matters? spamton's weird route speech is specifically about how much it matters and how you looked too far and fucked everything up. killing berdly is a fail state.

killing berdly is a fail state.

And there it is

berdly cope.jpg - 680x399, 30.9K

the game is designed such that the meta and side content is "optional". you won't run into any of it without going down a rabbit hole.

not an argument retard.

Depends what you mean by that. Does the average know that You aren't Kris or the other humans? I feel like that part shouldn't be to groundbreaking.

To bad Toby is too lame to let Queen be her true troll self

Berdly? Fucking Kris (who is a cute girl that was tricked by tumblr, the nb phase)
Berdly? Fucking Susie.
Berdly? COULD'VE fucked Noelle but decided smelly doe pussy is beneath him.

People will just go along for the surface level elements of the story and will probably be satisfied with that.

why did the fags break their /utg/ containment? These threads aren’t comfy anymore

We share rage... I shall aid you!
Toby Fox dropped the Silence Ending, alternate ending to the Spamton Sweepstakes donation event from a while back, in the latest newsletter. In that same update, he hinted at people to go check out the website again. We very quickly found out he had changed most pages to include newer links, making it 40 secret pages in total when including the old ones.
In these new pages, there is weird church imagery and mentions of something being lost in a forest, with further teasing to the tree that keeps showing up in Dark Worlds with the Man behind it. Furthermore, there is more emphasis put into Noelle's Cat Petterz game and the cats you raise in them, seemingly confirming that the face in the basement that you see in Chapter 2 (known in the files as DEVICE_FRIEND) is related to this game in some form or another, and will be relevant in Chapter 3. It seems to have been confirmed to be a cat as well, based on it appearing in /rarecats and being named cat-009.gif.
Lastly, there are new chapter pages, teasing at the importance of Weird Route. We do not know just what these teasers mean regarding Weird Route, or if it's even about Weird Route at all, but something is "applicable" in Chapter 2, and "not applicable, but..." in Chapter 3. There was also an email system set up at the end of a few pages, where you were asked to answer the question "How long did it take her to smile?" which so far lacks a correct answer. Signing up and answering this question would also sign you up for a secret tier of the newsletter, so long as you had already subscribed to it prior on that same email you answered with. Right now, the email system is closed.
I hope this is a good summary of mostly everything found. There is also ties to Link's Awakening and weirder stuff within the webpages, but you can go and explore that yourself. A good place to start is /ramb.

Unironically ICE-E is the knight, or at the very least alive in the light world. It's so stupid that Toby can hide it in plain sight.

Do you trust them?

These threads aren’t comfy anymore

They never were to begin with

Not with your attitude newfag.

based anon
Thanks

ice-e is the one that took dess
noelle stares at the freezer because theres ice-e pizza boxes in it

that's fair enough. most of the new info comes in vague pieces of text and imagery, so most of it is speculation of what's going on. most of this info was found in new sweepstakes pages. but here's what's to be gathered so far.

IMAGE_FRIEND is a cat and possibly more important than first thought

Kris and Noelle possibly had to go through therapy once Dess went missing

Dess's disappearance might be tied to the forest, possibly the Man giving us the eggs

Weird Route progression was hinted at

Chapter 1 is "Not Applicable", Chapter 2 is "Applicable", Chapter 3 is "Not Applicable but...", Chapter 4 is a message(?), and Chapter 5 is "Back".

We're most likely going to have to go back to Chapter 1 to get the Shadow Mantle from King

You were able to enter your email on one of the sweepstakes pages and you'd receive an email with time in seconds based on what you entered

there's probably more but that's the gist of it

Gaster is the only character in the game I trust

he kidnaps kids

been here since 2005, eat my ass nigger.

He can still be a trustworthy kidnapper.

what if FRIEND was your vessel but with cat ears

Nice to see you again!

How is friend showing up in every dark world? So far he's been in both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, with an implication of him being in Chapter 3 too. The only other character that can exist in other dark worlds without turning into stone is Ralsei.

and I impregnated your mother roughly 9 months before you were born.
see? I can make baseless claims on the internet too
except unlike you, I can actually prove my baseless claim, autist.

why are you circlejerking with an avatarfag who has contributed nothing to the thread

What I mean, is mainly that Gaster, is even a character. That the voice that contacts the player at the start is connected to the Derangement of Jevil and Spamton and others.

easy, isabelle has been doing since late december 2023.
just like dalle-3 threads.

I mean... You don't know what your dog does while you sleep or aren't at home.

he is unaware that his dog is the Friend Inside Me

i'd recommend never taking him to a dark fountain, you're gonna be met with a Woody surprise

This kind of thing makes FRIEND feel like the main antagonist.

youtube.com/watch?v=jTaibdPA8jU&t=45m43s

"Every reference to Gaster in Undertale is fleeting and elusive because he's been erased from existence. He's shattered across time and space. We can't experience Gaster as a character in his entirety like we can with Sans or Alphys, but if we know where to look we can catch glimpses.

"This is the same fate that Penumbra Phantasm has met in real life. We can't experience Penumbra in its entirety. We can only make guesses at what a complete version might sound like based on fleeting echoes. When little pieces of it show up in Homestuck songs, it starts to feel like the platonic ideal Penumbra that once existed has just been shattered across time and space. Both it and Gaster are ephemeral in the same way. So if this character is going to show up in Deltarune, it stands to reason that this song would be very up its alley as well."

Are you prepared to kneel?
Good video if you want to learn what the fuck a Penumbra Phantasm is without having to suffer through Homestuck, and also learn more about Toby's career outside of Undertale/Deltarune

Let's not forget:

Schizoboss is based on a Toy of some kind (Marionette Spamton or Jack-in-the-Box Jevil)f

I feel like he'll oppose for a bit for fun before joining us if the mini game in Youtown is to go by. Besides, he's a friend like Asriel is except he seems way more clinger .

penumbra phantasm is a twilight daydream

Just noticed something in Chapter 1. When you do this puzzle here Ralsei and Susie go on ahead and leave you to be just Kris until you move on.

If you try to backtrack you can but Ralsei and Susie rejoin your party when you do.

What if something changes here so that if you try to backtrack at his moment it's suddenly just Kris with no Ralsei and Susie with you so you basically ditch them? Sounds like a good means to start a Weird Route in Chapter 1.

his purpose is to be the NPC who will clue normalfags into the more complex shadow crystal stuff and get them going down that route. he will straight up be a "friend" and "ally" to the player in the weird route.

How evil is the main villain of Deltarune gonna be?
Flowey was evil in the sense he killed without remorse, but he was also a being tortured by his own existence and searching for relief.
Will Deltarune's main villain be redeemable?
I know some people will say the player is the main villain of either game, but put us aside...
I get the absolute heebie jeebies from FRIEND. It is a bad hombre.
Chapter 1 king was presented as irredeemable and the chapter had the lesson that you can't be friends with everyone, but chapter 2 controversially softens his depiction as more of a useful idiot who is still capable of love.
Jevil attacked us because he some life numbers as a twisted game.
Spamton is amoral or incredibly evil depending on your POV. Snowgrave Spamton straight up admits he sold you the ring so that you'd "do evil" which gave him the chance he needed. But he's also a spiritually broken person who is pushed to do this because he never wants to live in a dumpster again. Pacifist route shows he is redeemable.

what are the odds we will get two new "so that's why" scenes?

I think if it's Dess she might be "evil" but in a sense of something that can't be reasoned with.
Lord knows what years of isolation and her only contact being the dude that schizopills people would do to her sanity.

I don't feel Toby could make anyone irredeemable outside of the player.
The Knight will be forgiven in some way and won't be the main villain in the first place.
Gaster is probably too crazy to understand the implications of what he is doing.

Interesting. What's to the left that would require a lonely Kris?

gaster will be g-man
this is all a complicated process in order to hire (you)

Asriel body pillow got here today.

Toby believes "the devil" exists IRL right? And Gaster is strongly associated with 666. I don't think it's impossible for Deltarune to have a character that is truly, "ontologically" evil.

nta but opening the door back to castle town

Seam's shop and the Great Door

Like I said, that devil will be the player himself

I get the absolute heebie jeebies from FRIEND. It is a bad hombre.

approaching deltarune from the direction of it following toy story logic, i.e. darkners being sentient possessions that grow attachments, my interpretation for a while now has been that the friend has a deep emotional connection to dess, and is doing everything in its power to find her. it has a deep interest in noelle specifically because of their shared desire to finding dess.

my theory is that the main route of the game has almost NOTHING to do with dess beyond basic window dressing, which is why friend is straight-out bugging, glitching, and rewriting aspects of the game to get out of bounds and force the player to find her. I don't think the entity is going to like what it eventually finds.

Cat is not in Chapter 1, specifically because there is NO TECHNOLOGY in Chapter 1.

cat isn't in chapter 1 because noelle isn't there.

Cool theory but my only issue is I'd have expected to see him when Noelle & Kris step on the tiles that spell out DECEMBER instead of in Queen's Basement. I'm not seeing Spamton's connection to Noelle, especially since you only go into the basement on the route you don't coerce Noelle to kill Spamton.
I still like your theory because there is that area where Kris saves alone where "reluctantly the cat sign fills you with power". But i think I'm in the "FRIEND is 'more than' a Darkner" camp.

I think Toby is too love & redemption pilled to make a genuinely evil and unsympathetic character
The Knight is certainly going to feel that they have some good reason for doing what they're doing
And Gaster isn't evil, he's beyond that in the same way that we are.

False. Why do people forget Cat is a program?

leave ralsei and suzie by backtracking

go back to castle town

go to the hole where you can get the cross-save items like jevil/spamton's items

I think you're onto something anon.

Why does Deltarune feel like the only game to do "playable creepypasta" in a compelling way? What is Deltarune doing correctly?

If the Knight wanted to be evil he'd have poured multiple fountains at once and cause the Roaring so there's gotta be a catch

We only have Ralsei's word that the Roaring is a thing and that the Knight is doing it. I'm inclined to think that he thinks he's telling the truth, or at least have moral reasons to lie, but that's just speculation. Maybe the Knight is a Darkner trying to save his or her own kind at the expense of Lightners, or maybe the Knight himelf thinks he's stopping the Roaring in his own way that goes against Ralsei and whoever is behind Ralsei.

chapter 2 kinda threw the "you cant be friends with everyone" out the window with the recruit system. Yes, I still hate it.

leaving it hidden but still foreshadowed

not going over the top with graphic content

breaking the apparent safety the normal game has

emotionally scary

honestly I'm slowly sliding into the camp that december isn't even a real person, but rather a sunny/omori style projection of noelle's repressed trauma

Th recruit system feels like a reverse genocide to me: you need to go out of your way to get fights just to spare them again and again. It's pure mind numbing completionism.
There has to be a catch with it.

Spamton's bullets being friend/cat

Actually fucking insane that ONE LITTLE DETAIL about a hidden away face sprite gives the opportunity to recontextualize so much stuff

chapter 2 kinda threw the "you cant be friends with everyone" out the window

berdly

And Rudy's too?

posts like this make me feel smarter than I actually am for figuring this shit out a long time ago.

The fact that it's completely optional and very easy to avoid. Also it's not "hyperrealistic blood" and "if you die in the game you die in real life"

He tries to make you sound evil for playing neutral. Sort of. That's what the fanbase thinks. But the only thing that matters, as Sans says, is that you were honest with yourself.

That's my biggest problem with playing pacifist, a problem I thought that Deltarune had fixed(until ch. 2 rolled around). I said inorganic,
but an even better word to describe it may be dishonest. DISHONEST.

It feels dishonest to react to every danger to your character by playing nice with it.

v... i remember you're GREENTEXTS

I want Kris to top Asriel

All the "unreachable" item dialogue, such as Noelle drinking Susie Tea or trying to use the Dealmakers, has always been fully canon because you'll eventually be able to send items back in time through Castletown

You don't have to go back for a single recruit, truth be told. Every one in your path gets you the numbers.What about him?

hometown is the penumbra phantasm in this instance, like DR's white space.

First off, there's no cheap jumpscares or forced visual horror element. You don't even go to the creepiest area in the chapter and the "killing" you do is completely clean.
It's a deeply uncomfortable experience because of the extreme tone shift from the normal chapter, the sudden introduction of uncertainty into what has been a pretty linear experience up to this point, the very real controlling and abusive conditioning we perform on Noelle, and the meta-context where you know the game knows that you're violating these kids and twisting their relationship in ways they don't want and can't understand.
The whole experience is less about shocking or frightening you and more breaching the trust and comfort that the game had established with you until now, exactly like how you're forcing Kris to abuse their relationship with Noelle to "force" her to do things she's "doesn't want" to do but feels like she has to.

sometimes, it's the bonds you break that make you stronger.

ralsei knows and is being subtle.

Similar to Undertale, the creepypasta route is designed in such a way where it feels like it’s something that could actually happen in-universe if you just roleplay a certain way, where as typical creepypasta shit feels like it’s clearly some external/modified bullshit that eventually just breaks any immersion by doing things that the game physically shouldn’t be capable of doing

That's up to the player, I hate that everyone I've watched play is allergic to the fight button.

The game even has a built in mechanic to allow a pacifist route while fighting and still nobody does it, even if it's objectively superior (like attacking Queens shield to break it 2-3x quicker than via ACTing)

Berdly is almost part of the gang by this point.

The conditioning not to FIGHT is hard to break. It blew my mind when Jerma used Rude Buster on the shield in chapter 2. It made me plan to use more strategic violence in ch3&4

He tries to make you sound evil for playing neutral

What do you want him to say?

This one feels like it could be a lazy sunday afternoon in hometown, or a flashback about Dess playing the guitar.

I personally use a little bit of violence to make sure Kris knows that I don't want him to a pushover. I knocked down Susie and Berdly respectively, and will continue to use violence against Lightners who should know better.

Berdly is almost part of the gang by this point.

He's an ice cube

No one ever talks about how the vocalist for Don't Forget was also a talking flower.

The thing is it's on the same page as d.ogg (music before killing Berdly) and the creepy Shadow Mantle sound effect. So that contextualizes it to feel ominous.

Thanks, anon

Doesnt know about the other routes

That's why I mentioned Dess.
Also, have in mind w.ogg plays in chapter 1 no matter what you do there.

For people who don't think w.ogg and d.ogg stand for WING DING, what do you think they might stand for?

The best kind of video game creepypastas is that they should feel like something that could reasonably exist in the game, but was cut out or remain hidden for whatever reason. Think Fallout 3 Numbers Station, The Theater, Luna Game, Jvk1166z.esp, or The Princess are good examples of this. Just imagine something really creepy, but at the very fringes of belivability. A bizarre beta or some surreal mod from some dark cervice of the internet. Something like Godzilla NES can work, but it requires a dreft hand. Creepypasta specifically tends to rely on the idea that it's real, so suspension of desbelief can be hard.

We did, 7 years ago.

W.hite D.og.

Seam mentions having the Shadow Mantle

Maybe you can get it from him before the end of Chapter 1 if you backtrack or something....?

One last theory before I go to sleep:
w.ogg and d.ogg were a misdirection to make people think of Gaster.
w is for wave (from the sea)
d is for death (snowgrave)
ma is for (shadow) mantle
h is for her (Dess)
I have no idea what m and e could stand for

What about Sonic Gather Battle?

remember, 3 weeks for two chapterrs that will explode Anon Babble and thus the internet like a nuclear bomb.

I love Chara’s fat cock btw

The concept of the Princess by itself is fantastic. But man, it sucks how fast the story goes off the rails and becomes another murderpasta.

w.ogg is foreshadowing Toriel's racism weird route

m & e are possibly meant to be grouped as one. iirc, they're the same sound but one is reversed. i think "me" is for message

I hate it too. That's even worse, but other people's playthroughs can be safely ignored when it comes to making my own.

That's only a line you get if you come back after his speech.
The first time, It's not Sans who judges you. It's you who judges you. If you attacked every monster you saw to get the kid to safety, then that's what it was. The only opinion that truly matters is yours. Neutral Route feels honest in this regard.

Sleeping cozy tonight, Anon Babble?

I just can’t take a creepypasta seriously when some entity is actually haunting it, for some reason the idea of some demon haunting a game cartridge just completely shatters my suspension of disbelief

Queen's shield breaks faster by fighting

I figured this out during my second play through the Chapter 2 and it's always stuck out to me mechanically. I hope we're forced to have to FIGHT a little to spare monsters, it goes great with Chapter 1's whole "not everything can be solved with talking" subversion. It would also force players to think about when to fight and when not to.

Never heard of it, but it does sound like a odd thing. What would drive a man to be so protective over sprites. Sonic creepypastas is a pretty poor subgenre, but I do really like that one spanish Creepypasta, The Blue Pendrive. It's about the only Sonic creepypasta I can even count as being close to something redeemable.

sounds based. Who's the groid on the list?
