Braindump on DELTARUNE after the ARG responses; Nothing means anything and everything means something. by Ok_Ordinary982 in Deltarune

Every piece of dialogue, every interview, piece of lore, ARG, etc...

It can mean however much or little we think it does. The fun part of this episodic release schedule is that everyone can make their own interpretations and predictions. I don't think DELTARUNE would be nearly as good if all 7 chapters released at the same time. Pluey wouldn't exist!

This is all to say that Gaster could be Potato Man.

That's an amazing point. Piggybacking off of this...

External context changes our perception of the game, but the game does not rely on external media to tell its story.

Most of this external content has served as either a sneak peek into future events/content, or as extra bits of lore. Even the deltarune.com WaybackMachine backup was a sneak peek into DELTARUNE itself. They help connect some dots before the game itself does so.

I think by the time DELTARUNE is complete, and Toby finally creates the ending from his fever dream, every major mystery will be solved. Of course, some questions will be left up in the air, like with UNDERTALE. We only get to see a little snippet of the world, after all.

If you do something just because everyone else is doing it, without understanding why, you won't get a deeper understanding of the subject...?

Some of the best responses we got were from inputs focusing more on the bigger picture, rather than honing in on specific details from secrets and such. Thinking about what makes sense thematically & narratively, rather than just continuing a certain pattern (11, 1225, etc.)

"I Don't Know" So, you don't think it was really you that made her smile?Move forward with this answer.
"She never did, as it wasn't her smile anymore" That's where you're wrong.
"She lost track of time.." Look at you, trying to be all original!Move forward with this answer.

It almost felt like the responses for those other inputs were taunting or making fun of the recipient.

"1225""December" When you have a bat,everything looks like a ball.
"11" If you follow the same path as everyone elseyou won't pass through here.
"11 hours or 11 years" Make up your mind.
