It's interesting that the player doesn't seem to always NEED Kris to communicate with the other people in our party.

[@incogneeto982]

Say what you want about birdly, he quickly realized that there was something wrong with his friend and put his life on to try and save her. Yes, he was acting the fool in the normal run, but you can see he genuinely is serious in this run and dropped the whole "I'm better than you" act and just focused on trying to save Noel from you. That's a good friend right there

Noelle is talking to the player, not Kris, this also happens during Snowgrabe Spamton NEO fight, "You whispered Noelle's name." also referencing that YOU caused Snowgrave to happen, YOU wanted this, therefore this references that in this run, the players is the asshole here.

i don’t think Noelle’s reaction is talked about enough. Even though Berdly definitely gets on her nerves, they’re still shown to be good friends. The moment when she realizes that she was about to freeze berdly without a second thought must’ve terrified her.

@@connorschultz380 Noelle isn't the only one we controlled. We also got to control Susie in Chapter 1. She even thinks she heard Kris tell her something during that sequence. After 2 chapters, there is a clear trend: the player has the ability to control any character. On the contrary, every character also has its own free will: Kris can rip their own soul, Susie makes her own choices (she often ignores our responses, and there's this time in Queen's mansion where Susie destroys every pottery by herself), Jevil and Spamton both implied that characters were puppets while they tried to free themselves from their own "strings". Noelle is also able to act of her own free will: there's a puzzle where you can zip her, if you do she will _zip you back_ and laugh. But as you said, she has confidence issues so she usually just obeys. Then there's all those references to voices. It is pretty clear there's something meta about this game, and not just through the main character. Our commands are litterally heard by the characters. Deltarune makes it a point that the player has the ability to control other characters than Kris (which is also why this game makes us fight with a _party)._ Besides, freedom is a clear theme in those two chapters. As if the story was about those characters trying to break free from our control, while we try to get more control over them. A battle of freedom.

That's certainly understandable, considering that we didn't see the last one being made, though there are obvious counters to that argument. I've seen one say that Kris could have learned then and there during the queen's monologue that he could create fountains as well. I doubt he'd ever want to bring the Roaring, but no-soul Kris might. That's also an understandable argument, but there is more than enough evidence to the contrary.

[@_red_crewmate]

@Fang Lazken AKA Ranshi Hey, please, don't be so toxic about that. I'm pretty sure nobody * forced * Toby Fox, it's probably just that quite a lot of people were trying to do a no-mercy run of deltarune ch1 after a pacifist one like they were expecting something new. But I can't give a word for that, it's just based on my own experience.

[@Adeyum64]

@@zomboids2100 I think it was a bit overexaggerated in Undertale. Like, Monsters trying to kill your ass in Pacifist and Neutral is completely fine, but in Geno, you're apparently an asshole for doing so. Heck, you're already facing a consequence if you just kill one single enemy! Deltarune atleast gives you the option to let them taste their own medicine by fighting and not facing a big consequence by doing so. Snowgrave is something you just can't do by accident, but normal fighting is. So like you said, it atleast gives you a good reason to let you feel like an ass.

[@Dante02d12]

@@Adeyum64 "you're apparently an asshole for doing so." Well yes, you had the option to do otherwise. If that were self-defense, I would agree with you. But by definition, self-defense applies when you have no other choice. What we do in Undertale Genocide route isn't self-defense, that's sheer mass murder. That was awesome x).

The music during the fight against Berdly sounds like the game was just waiting for you to use Snowgrave on Berdly.

[@samu-ex-lory-animator7812]

fun fact: the music beats of the song in the game files if you sped up they are the same as the original berdly fight theme and the name of this snowgrave trial theme is called "berdly heart beats true" (if i remember) so that means that those are berdly heart beats , and then if the music stops that means that berdly heart stopped too...

[@elizabeth5561]

So, at the end, Berdly is asleep on the computer lab table. My theory is that here, he -was banished to the shadow realm- had his soul frozen in the dark realm.

Neat video! Thanks for showing this off! Since Berdly won't target Noelle before Kris goes down, what if you get Kris's HP low, then deliberately take hits? How far negative can Kris's HP go?

[@timesold.4216]

The "theme" in this battle literally sounded like heartbeats to me. And after beating Snowgrave I just couldn't sleep properly. I literally felt like I killed someone, and that thought brought me freaking fear. And while it indeed is true, with Berdly being presumably dead, this felt a lot more real. I also literally had to take like a 30 minute break when pressuring Noelle to freeze the addison. Poor girl... I guess I get too attached to characters. Can't imagine how horrible I'd feel in UT genocide. And this is just the 2nd chapter. Toby is a Genius.

[@thiccuigi7880]

the scary part is that in the files, the theme is called "berdly_heartbeat_true" or something along those lines

I have a theroy that the player and gaster are same, they both manipulate characters use them as puppets , kris and spamton for an example. both of kris and spamton controlled by us and gaster, both of them tries to free themselves from us but that will result in them dying

[@miriamk5571]

I feel like it would be kind of cheap for it to turn out that we, as the player, are Gaster, among other reasons. I'm pretty sure he's a separate entity with similar goals. In fact, it can't be a total coincidence that you appear in Kris's life and begin to control him (apparently) directly after he creates the first Dark World, likely the day before Chapter 1. It seems to me as if Gaster has placed you as the puppet-master in charge of Kris to clean up his messes, but since Kris keeps creating Dark Worlds you're both stuck in a loop where the only thing Kris can do is create another Dark World at night and you have to spend your whole day getting rid of it. But some of that is probably wrong haha, back to the point I sincerely doubt that Gaster is you, especially taking into consideration the whole thing about creating your own form and then he tells you that you can't choose who you are and sends you to control Kris's body and all that Sure seems like Gaster is the one making choices around here, you're just a second-rate puppet-master

[@u.n.latias4612]

I noticed something, in the first chapter Susie says that your decisions doesn't matter but she said that to Kris not the player, *but* Noelle's choices DO matter and we can use her for a while, in the Snowgrave route she is almost fully controlled by the player corrupting her. If we get full control of Noelle, it means that we are free to choose our own path which also means we can choose to do a true genocide route, but because we play as Kris our choices don't matter though we can still change the choices of other characters. all of this might lead to something similar to a Pacifist after a Genocide run but instead we are Chara in this situation. But hey! We still gonna have 5 more chapters to go

[@sal23246]

bro on my first try i took it by accident i was shocked kris was down but she still did the snowgrave

[@generalkt5398]

Don’t blame Kris for this. It’s not their fault. The lore of the game goes as that Kris is being controlled by you, the player. Like a puppet. That is why Kris is so uneasy at the end of the Spamton Neo fight because they saw what it was like when that puppet master abandoned Spamton, and Kris is scared that the player could do the same thing. Kris’s “soul” is really just you dragging them around and telling them what to do, and in turn telling Noel, Ralsei, and Suzy what to do. If the player gets greedy, gets thirsty for a new ending, you can choose to basically mentally abuse Kris’s friends. In this case, you push Noel so far over the edge that you possibly kill Berdly. Not Kris, Kris is just the bridge between your choices and the game-world. All of these actions are because of the player, and if you chose to go Snowgrave, then it’s *your* fault.
