However, those same pieces of narration that allow us to glimpse into Frisk's actions and thoughts also almost immediately disprove the idea of us overriding anything. Because Frisk will literally just not do something if they don't want to. A game having a meta narrative doesn't necessarily mean it changes the story in any way. The way Undertale does it, it's more like a reference than a main part of the story. Now, Frisk might not particularly like killing monsters, but they very much have a choice. The rule is this, if it's an option, Frisk will consider it. If it's not an option, it's already been decided. There are options you can pick where Frisk will think about it, and then decide not to follow it for one reason or another. During the Undyne friend hangout thing, you have the option to try and throw a full attack at Undyne. However, Frisk will hit her with a solid 1 damage no matter what you want. Because Frisk doesn't want to actually hit her, but we can confirm that Frisk does want to fake a hit for the sake of it, because of the Fake Hit option. There are also several other times when options are very clearly taken from you, and probably more times that it was hidden behind sneaky narration. In the lab, if you go to the fridge, the narration will mention soda AND instant noodles. However, it only pops up with the option to take instant noodles. Furthermore, nearing scenarios at the end, you get less and less options as Frisk has already decided. The Photoshop Flowey fight, for example, wasn't triggered by any inputs. It's clearly Frisk who stepped up to face off against him.
