: TLDR: Deltarune's asking a lot of questions, and one of them is whether your
: choices matter. Like in Marathon Infinity, if you go to awful lengths you
: can make them that way, but the price might be too high.
: If, like in Undertale with "it's kill or be killed", we are meant
: to subvert the idea that our choices don't matter, the furthest extreme of
: response to that would be "*I* am destiny."
: Note that in both undertale no mercy route end and Marathon Infinity the main
: character survives the ultimate destruction of the world, with the
: implication that they travel to another world (Deltarune/Halo) with
: similar lore.
: They both give "Writer read Garden of Forking Paths" vibes, and
: indeed Ch. 4 has an old, genre-savvy character named Gerson Boom who is a
: writer (Tolkien tribute). Gerson is very skeptical of the propehcy and
: believes that the prophecy and fate is not final. He advocates for
: "going between the lines" (again, amke the maze from its path)
: and says that "you might get better ideas that way" about going
: the wrong way, in an area where the characters are trying to work out
: where to go; this is a clear microcosm of the larger question of what
: route to take. Who asks Kris, when they come to a crossroads, which path
: they will take. The options are further left (when left should be the end)
: which leads to an additional +1 max hitpoint, back, "Susie" or
: "nowhere."
: Like in the Garden of Forking Paths, something that, slightly
: disappointingly, no one has compared Deltarune to, the maze is the path is
: the choices. Eat the moss (an easter egg you can make Kris do) and the
: pavement beneath it.
Where's my fix of online poker game links? What kind of forum do you think this is, one for humans to post on? I never played deltarune so I can't really comment (the game still isn't finished is it? Also send me a memo when palworld and valgard are finished because I'm interested in finished games but not so much in paying to be a playtester)
