And shes on her knees which is implying that she is using her prayer ability to reach out to the player like she does in Earthbound.

[@D_YellowMadness]

I wonder if that's why she can use it when she's on your team but only if you use Kris' turn to tell her to do it. Like how Susie can only use Red Buster if Kris tells her to. Because Kris (or the soul inside Kris) can tap into people's potential & help them cast "a spell they don't know".

[@PennyO_O]

DELTATRAVELER feels like a game Toby would make if he was allowed to use diffrent franchises and AUs in it. During the Pacifist Route, it's goofy and charming, but does have more serious moments. The Genocide Route on the other hand, is horrifying and extremely disturbing. It makes you feel like a horrible person, and doesn't reward you for anything that you've done. Sarah and the rest of the DELTATRAVELER team did an incredible job at recreating Toby's sense of humor, writing style ETC. It's definitely the best Deltarune fangame I've ever played.

[@pandawolf10]

I was never one to do a genocide run in any game because I'd feel bad, so I usually watch them cause it's not really me doing it. But this just completely shattered that "well I'm not doing it so I'm not gonna be too sad about it." Just looking at how Susie didn't want to do it and Noelle going snowgrave mind while you're not only killing people but seeing their body lay there making a blood puddle is... unsettling to say the least. You wouldn't be able to pay me to do this so I'm happy you are

[@friskthehuman6804]

[@Lunarcreeper]

lmao flowey literally made fun of ppl who watch youtube in the genocide route just before the sans fight.

[@Rubywing4]

@@Lunarcreeper Yeah, when I played Genocide myself, I got to that line of dialogue and I thought "This would be perfect if PewDiePie played it. You didn't just break the 4th wall, you also broke the ceiling." I watched PewDiePie play Undertale Neutral and the extra TP things (but not replaying the full game, he got someone else to do it aside from the Undyne and Alphys stuff, so he could just play the TP ending) before playing it myself, but he never did Genocide. So I bought the game for myself, played Pacifist (I think) and TP, thus getting the "deja vu" dialogue lines, and then I read about the existence of the Genocide Route on the wiki, learning Undyne had become "Undyne the Undying", Sans was a boss, and Mad Dummy had become "Glad Dummy", and maybe that Mettaton EX had become "Mettaton NEO" and was the "point of no return" for Genocide, so I only knew about the new bosses' existence and that I had to kill until an alert popped up, but nothing else. And so my third run was Genocide, and seeing this Flowey line made me like "Man, why hasn't Pewds committed Genocide yet?" XD That's what I love about Undertale, the unexpected breaks of the 4th wall, Toby having gone as far as to anticipate/know that people would do let's plays and call out the people watching it instead of playing. XD I don't think any other video game has been SO meta to acknowledge the existence of the viewers??? Aside maybe from Deltarune Chapter 2, where Queen talks to "chat" if you deplete the HP of her chair, Toby again anticipating that people would be streaming the game with a chat, that was hilarious. XD

[@D_YellowMadness]

I normally don't do genocide-like runs either but this game is just noncanon enough for me to do it & yet certain moments were really uncomfortable. Like seeing the wounds on the coil snake, having to walk over it afterward, & killing the moles who just wanted to play & bats who were just scared, only to see their corpses lying next to each other afterward. It really sells that feeling that you just walked into a cave you don't belong in & murdered a bunch of helpless animals in their natural habitat.

[@DankFirewolf]

To be honest... The fact that you kill Paula and Ness (and literally everything else you encounter) is kinda sad. Because then the world basically ends.. And fun fact, Noelle's Iceshock TP has changed from 16% to 24% when comparing to Deltarune Chapter 2. Dunno why, but it's increased. And also, uh... I forgot. But yeah, killing everyone is worse than Snowgrave because, even though you basically kill Berdly in Snowgrave, that's in the dark world and he MIGHT not be dead, and that's just 1 person. In this game? It's an entire town and 2 kids. EDIT: Fun fact, if you "Reflect" then "Talk", then "Reflect" again and "Talk" again to Ness, you can then "Apologize" and "Talk" to Paula, which will allow you to spare them. However, you can also do a betrayal kill. It's actually quite nice as they stop attacking allowing you to get max TP and healing to full before fighting Paula.

Undertale was like the only reason why I played Earthbound in the first place. Now I'm a MOTHER series die-hard as apparent in my pfp because the games were INCREDIBLY charming in a way.

[@SpinalWall16589]

Over time, you can also see the character icons while in battle change and of course, so does Noelle's and Susie's mood. They begin to grow used to the killing and the gaining of more power. Susie's icon changes from concerned to shadowed and facing downwards, and Noelle's icon looks worried. And then in Ness and Paula's fight... All of their icons have their faces shadowed except for Kris, that is some disturbingly clever detail.

The Obliteration Route of this game is just soooo good in such a messed up way, I love it.

[@KonroMan]

Honestly, this route makes me feel even more guilty than the original genocide route and weird route, because although genocide and weird route are both awful for different reasons, the genocide route still has the basic turn to dust thing (except for Undyne, Mettaton NEO, Sans, and Flowey) and the deaths in weird route are mostly implied, even though they clearly did occur… the obliteration route outright shows most of the enemies bleeding out as well as the fact that you are forced to kill two of the protagonists of Earthbound who are children! In general the devs of this fangame did just a fantastic job in making the player feel guilty about their actions, heck I even feel guilty just by watching!

[@dorothynycholas5987]

Yeah, it feels more disturbing than Undertale's Genocide route or Deltarune Chapter 2's Snowgrave Route as you see Kris explicitly murder those Blue Cultists. Throwing DeltaTraveler a dark curve-ball when the original theme of "Your choices don't matter"

10:19 We know Monsters still don't have blood in Deltarune. There's an NPC, specifically the counterpart of the snowdin innkeeper's child, who asks Kris if being made of blood hurts. There's a lot of confusion since the idea that monster biology has been changed to such an extreme degree myth started by people taking one of Susie's lines as well as a scrapped sprite out of context, but it's outright confirmed that monsters are still primarily composed of magic rather than water. It's usually accompanied by the similar myth that Deltarune monsters can't do magic outside of the dark world(which this fangame, unfortunately, follows), which is one that hasn't been explicitly confirmed to be incorrect like the monster biology thing, but which is implied to be incorrect by all available evidence. -Also the fight bar appearing at the top represents Paula using her pan to attack. Notably, the attack itself is also a reference to the burnt pan from undertale.-

I don't think so, monsters doesn't have magic in deltarune, berdly corpse is in the library, and the reason why monsters cant handle determination in undertale it's because of their non fisical bodies and in deltarune they have determination

[@Missingno_Miner]

@@MatiasCirulli Monsters do, in fact, have magic in deltarune... in case you forgot, there's even a menu option dedicated to it. Berdly's not actually dead... yet. All the available evidence suggests that he's in a state that monsters call "fallen down": a permanent coma preceeding death. Monsters have determination in undertale as well, just nowhere near as much as humans. Undyne is a notable example: she has so much naturally that she is able to stop her body from turning to dust and quite literally pull herself together. It's never stated how much determination is required to open a fountain, and it makes perfect sense that even what little determination monsters naturally have would be more than Darkners, beings that exist solely to "assist" Lightners.

I like the fact that even the person playing the game starts feeling less and less guilty the more they kill, because it slowly becomes something normal to the player's eyes

[@DarkapostlesASMR]

Really loved this game. Felt like a solid spinoff

[@betzyellow]

i was wondering if you would come back to deltatraveler for this, i am very glad you did! it is indeed very well done, i will always praise the work and just pure dedication put into every bit of this fangame also i did notice the little more editing for this video 👀 is that the new thing you mentioned you wanted to try in your community post? maybe it isn't, however if you're curious for feedback, i just gotta say that it doesn't make a huge change as long as you don't take out relevant parts of the gameplay, and it might keep the action going on a more consistent pace! i am a big fan for your normal video format and im very used to it by now, but i dont think it would break the essence if your channel if this becomes a regular editing style. regardless of that, if you wanna make more changes like this or implement new stuff in your vids i'd say go for it, i think we're all here just for the chill vibes and *genocide* :D

[@legalza0843]

The enemies in earthbound are controlled by the main villain of the game. They turn back to normal when you beat them in battle

[@justsans.]

Fun fact, Ness has the same movement patter in his battle sprites as sans, going left to right. Wonder if that’s a small nod to when everyone thought sans was future ness lol.

[@hungrynoodles9680]

DAM! It’s been a year sense I watched one of your videos I loved watching I just picked up my switch and swiped the dust off it and the first game I saw was undertale and WOW! Just the music alone give me great memories of you playing fan made games the games themselves and much much more keep up the good work

[@Solesteam]

47:09 Well one thing's for sure, I'd be staying the heck away from melee damage range, and only have to be worried about avoiding any buster and ice type attacks. Which isn't much better, but it's better than standing 2 feet away with a frying pan psychic damage and willpower and a random lil trinket you got from the mall as your only defense... Because only one of those is actual defense, and not that practical in life or death scenarios where plot armour isn't involved.

21:08 He was bad, but he was more of a villain than a genuinely bad person, meaning, he had standards, he'd let the children be raised in a loving kind environment while indoctrinated to the happy-happy blue-blue ways of the village, and so long as it makes them genuinely happy, it's not actually bad at all... so long as we turn a blind eye to the environmental damage the paint is causing. Heck, the people there were so trusting as to leave a shop unattended knowing that everyone else there would pay honestly for what they take from the shop. That village had something good going for it, all they needed was a safe, environmentally friendly way to paint this blue, maybe some kind of blueberry paste would work nicely.

[@MouseSkull]

It's not even that to be fair, Carpainter only acted this way because he was influenced by the Mani Mani statue.

[@Solesteam]

@@MouseSkull Oh yeah, I forgot about that... The Statue Isn't exactly evil then... Unless the whole painting thing is just the beginning and it has something worse for Mr.Carpainter planned...

[@davidmarques5538]

[@trollmc30]

I've been waiting for this. I'll enjoy it so much

[@derekspradling7452]

where I feel like this differs from genocide and snowgrave. Where Deltarune took the feeling of evil a step farther by having you manipulate noelle. This is gonna take the guilt farther by making you watch the friendship of the Fun Gang die, and much like in life, this will give true consequences to your distructive path. Beyond feeling bad that you killed X character, there might be more segments similar to the concusion segment that makes the run "suck harder." to a point where at times, an obliteration route might seem stupid to go through with. Also, I feel like it might be NESisary to aPAULAgize, just to see what happens.

[@TheAdvertisement]

It's not enough to just commit geno in Undertale, we've gotta eradicate the population of the game that inspired it too... 0:15 Ohoho the game knows. No hints to murderers! 0:54 Man these Sprout Mole- I mean Mobiles just can't catch a break huh? Good thing there's no Snowgrave Route... I think... 1:08 Oh never realized that the TP drains. 1:44 Ok good no proceeding. 2:23 Dang it gets a Tsundereplane death- watch out Susie! 3:18 Yeah that's how they work in Earthbound, kinda like the snot bubbles in Omori. They deal a ton of damage and can kill you after being defeated. 3:54 Susie gonna be cracked with that bat. 4:12 Haha, the game suggesting maaaybe don't go full genocide. >:) And yeah don't forget, the enemies respawn and you gotta kill em three times in this fangame. 4:42 Both good and bad- 4:50 And of course Noelle is the first to question things... proceed now? 6:00 Ah and now the game tells you when you've cleared an area... strong enough to draw blood... 6:12 Sans is _judging_ you dude. He doesn't really care, it isn't his world, but he'll judge. 6:55 RIP snek- congrats Merg you just murdered an animal. 7:08 It's DEAD Merg lmfao- 7:35 It'd just run yeah. 8:02 Nah she going straight for the locker slam- 8:14 Oh shi- Kris trying to tell them. Probably just gonna make Susie think Kris has some sadistic urges tho lol. 8:22 I guess it makes sense Noelle would act as a bit of a foil to Susie's anger... also why'd the screen blur for a frame? 8:38 Hmm so this takes place at least after Chapter 2... think that was already confirmed but whatever. 9:40 Going straight from killing an animal to murdering somebody- 10:18 There's the weird kid that asks if Kris is really made out of blood, and the graves have the monsters' favorite items buried with them like how it works in Undertale so I'd assume so. 10:28 Yup RIP Cultist- 10:33 Susie got that "Really man?" look. 10:45 Oh shi- charity girl? Knew her eyes being hidden had meaning! 11:07 Wait how does an Earthbound character know what LOVE is? They'd call it EXP wouldn't they- how does she know? 11:24 Merg predicting what's gonna happen right before it does lmao. RIP Konkussed Kris- 11:35 Poor Kris. :( 12:18 No it was a frying pan. 12:30 To be fair, I'd evacuate the area if someone just got knocked out there. 12:47 Lmao Doctor fight. And yeah, Kris gonna be weak now... getting stronger in reverse lol. 13:15 America. 13:20 Ah yes the biggest consequence of geno, Susie swearing. 13:33 Guess she still wants to get stronger uh oh. 13:46 Oof it's like a permanent status effect, damn Kris is even going into negative defense. 13:53 Susie and Noelle bruh moment. 14:02 Walla damage? Oh cool does Toriel inadvertently give hints in different areas? 14:08 Aw and she does react to Kris being injured, being able to tell they're not well. Kris just wants to talk to their mom. :( 14:22 Omg Merg you completely missed the dialogue the nurse gives about the healer being able to heal concussions. 15:26 Wow even the cultists flooded out, besides some guards. 15:43 Oh damn- RIP Kris can just randomly not be able to fight. 16:14 Nice and the other cultists get scared when you murder one. Killers indeed.~ 16:32 And one of them talks about avenging their fallen friend here. 17:10 They never expect the double...? 17:22 No it's because you got stronger, increased in LV, so everyone's stats will go up. 17:57 Oh? Guess Paula would be more okay with going off on her own, after all there's no one here except us... 18:02 But she's still hurt. :( She's probably a bit nervous about us too, and has every right to be. Also Kris sitting back, yeah they probably need the rest. 18:14 Aw Susie helping Kris up. 18:30 Crap nevermind Porky's back. 18:43 Kris turning so we can't see them talk? Can't hear them anyways- but is Noelle implying that Kris said we're making them walk? That once we weren't controlling them in the cutscene they were too weak to stand? 18:55 Susie isn't even surprised at this point lol. 19:05 Ah so we just nab the lightning badge, and Paula's still nowhere to be seen... 19:46 Merg I think this means you should play Earthbound. 19:55 Don't the normal cultists have an attack just like that? 20:21 Damn man's absolutely shocked as we brutally murder him and he gives us a bomb in return lmao. 20:56 That's... got some horrible connotations. 21:28 Sans still just being on the sidelines haha... and yeah we've got a lot of targets on our back now. 22:10 Go protecc bunbun. 22:44 Hah- well we certainly are predators. 23:50 They're all dying :( 24:21 It just faceplants poor thing. 25:05 Ouch just a huge slam. 25:18 Kris is learning the power of LOVE... 26:15 Two bloody killers face off! 26:30 Oh ouch if he hits you at all with that attack you get chomped! 27:23 Of course a guardian would be used to a normal fight, he just is disappointed you're not Ness... and a difficult decision? What will that be? 28:06 Susie's learning the power of LOVE too... 28:15 Pft- Porky moment. 29:03 Oooh and the sanctuary heals the concussion! Hah and Kris just ripping off the bandage. Also interesting how the dialogue parodies the shadow crystals, with Kris seeing their old fake horns? 29:25 Proceed lol. 29:43 Ah- and referencing Chapter 2 as well. 29:53 PK... not sure what the second word was but oh crap the children angry. 30:04 Ok gotta survive some lightning. 30:11 Oh crap you're right Sans is about to give us a bad time. 30:18 Ah, and just like before the Berdly fight, Noelle's freaking out trying to not get these children killed- 30:35 Hah and Susie even referencing her dialogue right before, morons let them home! 30:41 ...Ok so he's protecting the multiverse now. Touché. 30:49 Yeah we're not exactly friends with her either Susie... 30:54 Yeeeaaaaah about that Susie. 31:19 Huh, wonder if it is possible to spare them? 31:48 siaudhiu Merg no- 31:55 Ah and Paula can heal. 31:58 Not sure what the blocks are referencing but the lightning's obvious- it'd be horrible if getting hit by the lightning was an instant KO. 32:17 Oh yo cool! Ness has an attack bar like us that targets the soul, and you've gotta use the few frames of inaccuracy to dodge it! 33:04 Playing with fire and baseballs! 33:37 Merg you have a DualHeal- 34:00 How do you describe this music as happy?? 34:30 Yeah ok, she only heals. 34:46 Oh shiz, Ness getting nervous as he realizes he's low health- 35:17 Ah yes, color logic. 35:38 Oh god- it's like with Monster Kid except you actually kill him. And Paula has to watch. :( 35:46 And even so he knows you need to be stopped... 35:51 Omg and the game over sound from Earthbound no. 36:00 But it doesn't matter when you're strong enough to draw blood. And she's right you know, the world of Earthbound needs both of them to save it from Gigyas, and you've just doomed it. 36:17 Oh shiz she got the frying pan. And- oh my god it's the original Megalovania. Perfect for us... 36:15 Damn Paula ain't messing around with her first attack-and the intro waiting till the attack ends. Always wondered why people never used their strongest attack first huh? And they're all golden hits now- 36:29 IT'S TIME MERG! >:D 36:52 _Now_ he notices lol. 37:00 Oh I never realized Noelle and Susie's battle sprites are shadowed now. 37:10 Altertale Toriel? 38:14 I mean like half the Earthbound fandom ships them so. 38:15 Oo ping-pong fireballs. Also just realized that the frying pan and fire attacks are just like the Kindness Soul in Undertale. 38:44 Woah Paula stole Asriel's Shocker Breaker! 39:02 And Star Blazing! Though I think that attack was originally an Earthbound reference in the first place so really it's just come full circle. 39:26 "It feels so bad to enjoy genocide why you gotta make genocide so cool!?" - Merg, 2022 40:16 Oh damn- Susie's finally breaking away! After all she's the one party member that seems to be able to- might just be random like Kris not being able to attack when they had their concussion. 40:28 Merg you're literally making death threats to your own party member- I think he's just embracing the villain status at this point. 40:36 Ohp and now the attacks are combining. 40:45 Paula you literally are Sans! It was never Ness it was Paula! 41:06 "Cus Noelle is a good reindeer." - Merg, 2022. 42:12 Oh damn didn't even see we got Snowgrave power now. 42:16 Oh cool and Susie's poppup has gone from shadowed to angry- and yeah that signifies when she'll refuse to do anything. 42:48 And poor Paula's shaking now. :( 43:25 Omg Paula's sprite- she's so shocked but still crying, her tears still flowing but completely defeated. 43:43 But the Earth(bound) refused to die? 43:55 Oh god and it's just a waiting game for her to collapse- 43:59 Wait what? Why'd a crack appear there? 44:08 Not sure what the cracks were about but- there she goes. :( 44:14 Oh god- it's her soul shattering. Her own determination wasn't enough. 44:39 And their faces... Susie's is shadowed like in chapter 1, and Noelle's face is hidden like with the unused Snowgrave sprites. 44:48 Oof and Kris doesn't even say anything. 45:11 Yup, it's ours now... 45:15 Heh, get it, cus Paula's hands are clean. But also cus it's not burnt like the one in Undertale. 45:20 Huh, and naming the weapon type, same mechanics as in Undertale. 45:25 The power of LOVE... 45:45 Yeah Underfell's just gonna encourage killing- 46:02 Not really- 46:16 Filled with power... 47:04 Kris gang. 48:14 Hi again Sans. 48:20 Slowed down My Castle Town has a very similar vibe to genocide Snowy-
