Gale Theory: Kris Broke the Game! (deltarune)

if you clicked on this video expecting matpat then you my friend are a numbskull intro hello internet and welcome to Gale theory the totally original show where I try to figure out the lore of some of the internet's most beloved games and all without a diet coke today we'll be looking at a game that took only 24 hours to take the world wide web by storm that's a room delta roon is a demo for a theoretical game toby fox might make in the future that involves the beloved characters from his other game you might have heard of undertale it's weird it's incomplete but it has the same charm and feelings that fans have come to associate with undertale and clearly that is enough to get people excited but I'm not going to be talking or theorizing about where this game fits with the general undertale canon because well Tobi himself has said that this game is basically an alternate universe quote I will say that basically what you're seeing here is not the world of undertale under Tales world and ending are the same as however you left them to rephrase that Delta runes world is a different one with different characters that have lived different lives a whole new story will happen end quote know what I really want to talk about is not where Delta rune is but what Delta rune is you see I'm a big fan of undertale and my favorite part about that game was the story but not the main story of friskin friends but the hidden backstory about why the underground is in the state that it is I'm talking about Chara and Ezreal learning about these two characters who they were what they did what they became really changes how you view that game and more importantly how you view your choices everyone else is an important character yes but these two are the basis for why what you do has meaning without them there is no way to break the barrier there is no tension between monsters and humans and there is no happy ending though I mention undertale in Chara and Ezreal when this isn't undertale it's Delta rune a completely separate world in story and fair point made theoretical viewer I wanted to bring them up because I have an idea that they serve the exact same purpose in this game delta rune isn't the story of you the player delta rune is the story of Ezreal and Chara better known as Kris the first thing to talk about is the lack of choice in this game it's very clear from the opening segment of the game that your choices don't matter and if that subtle line of no one can choose who they are in this world doesn't clue you in Suzy will directly stating if you haven't gotten it by now your choices don't matter undertale was a game designed entirely around choice being the RPG where no one has to die but Delta rune double children is different you have no choice the events that are about to transpire will happen regardless of how you play no one can be killed and no one can be saved but that's how nearly every other game ever made play so why does that mean anything isn't it just a statement that this isn't undertale and I thought so too but it kept bugging me as more odd details came up one of the first things you see in the game proper is Chris's bedroom one that they share with their brother Azrael a human child that's an adopted sibling of Azrael where have I seen that before and that's sure but what's really of note here is the difference between the two sides of the room Azrael is clean filled with trophies Awards music personality Chris's side on the other hand is totally bare the shelves are empty and scuffed up there's no indication of any of their likes or hobbies only a red wagon and a rusty birdcage which is pretty odd as far as kids toys go when you reach school you quickly that Chris isn't hated by the kids in their class but is considered well for lack of a better term stupid some classmates pick other friends for the project yes but one picks an egg and the other is so repulsed at the idea of Chris being in his group that he purposely sabotages Noelle's attempts to have a group of three Chris is then overpowered by Suzi outside with the only reason she's still alive apparently being because Suzie doesn't want to upset toriel it is apparent fifteen minutes into the game back Chris well Chris isn't really what one would consider popular and the end walk through town only supports that as everyone around you talks about how weird chris is and how amazing Azrael was Chris hid under the bed and scared Noel Chris only went to church to drink the fruit juice Chris never went to the hospital to visit a sick family friend without toriel or as for making them but Azrael was a great singer in the church choir as real was best friends with a lot of the characters around town driving together going to dances even kissing one and Azrael is in college right now with his good grades everything Chris is not Azrael is and then it all culminates into the oddest scene of all the last one chris wakes up in the middle of the night shuffles over to a strange bagging and birdcage and literally rips their heart out and locks it up before brandishing a knife and revealing their red eyes for the first time into an undertale fan this is very similar to another ending of another toby fox game and it makes no sense at first why now why throw your soul into a cage why after you just made your first friends and then someone brought up something incredible that put the whole thing together for me during the last scene you can still move the soul delta rune isn't the story of you the player it's about Chris the distinction here is that you are not Chris you are the soul the red heart Chris can function without you Chris has functioned without you in the ending Chris throws you away in his movie planning and existing without you and this explains everything when you play as Chris on the surface people respond to you differently they talk to Chris like they haven't talked to them in ages exposition about Azrael from shopkeeper's undying just now learning who you are mr. holiday wondering why you've decided to visit him they mentioned this not because it's a game and they have to provide some context though that is certainly part of it no they talk like that because while you the player are curious about the world and seeing all the past monster friends from your experience and undertale Chris wasn't Chris didn't care about these monsters Chris followed their brother around town and when he left they had no more reason to try to socialize you are making Chris act out of character and so the monsters around town act accordingly toriel is even surprised to hear you say that you hung out with a friend something basic most kids would do you even have strange reactions to things Chris has done in the past namely you don't recognize a get-well card that Chris signed and you can't play a piano but Chris can there's small details but there are details that show that before Delta room chris is different in skills and personality than during Delta and Chris this is further expanded upon when you enter the dark world Chris clearly hasn't been there before judging by how they back away from the door when it opens Chris is scared this isn't normal for Chris but after you fall and save for the first time you see that Chris is no longer in control you are the safe file changes to show your name from the opening sequence chris is gone and you go on this adventure in the dark world with Suzy in their body until this point you can only move forward in the story's progression you couldn't explore the town or the school but now you have free rein you the player can go anywhere now because you have fully become Chris and as a player you get a traditional child adventure story kid with a troubled life finds a secret magical land where they are important to the future of all its magical creatures and returns home feeling accomplished and gaining skills to take on real-life challenges it's the plot of like every young adult novel ever and you play it to completion because that is the game in this one chapter demo there is a full story there is still some mysteries of who is an AI even what is javo'''s role in everything but you've done it you stopped the bad guy restored the kingdom and even made your first friends you closed the evil light portal and go home now with a promise of a better tomorrow hanging out with Suzy the story is done the game is over you can go home sleep and boom you're done there should be no more game but there is this is only a demo only chapter 1 of a larger story so here is my theory of what is really going on the real story of Delta room the story of Chris one morning chris wakes up like normal unenthused to the voice of their mother toriel but something is a bit off today it's almost like they aren't in full control of their body like something else is urging them to interact with things they normally would not care about after flushing the toilet nine times they finally go to school where another unfortunate group project is required Chris asks everyone to be their partner even kids they know from experience will already be paired up Chris gets bullied by the smarter kids in class for even attempting to try then as poor Noel tries to become Susy class bully walks in late leading two alphas making Chris and Susie retrieve Chuck from the supply closet outside the classroom Chris watches Susy eat chalk even though they say nothing even though they do nothing Susy attacks they can't defend themselves as Susy picks them up and slams them into the lockers Chris has no choice Chris never gets a choice but then Chris steps into a dark supply closet and falls into a strange land made of cards and toys things that exist only to be used and played with by another and in this case only exists to be used by Chris Chris feels something new inside them I'm Sol a player a soul that means in this world they are powerful they can defeat anyone with both brains and brawn they are strong and can cut down enemies they are clever and can lead their party members to victory they are even well liked enough to flirt properly in this world chris is the best of everything everyone wants to be friends with Chris everyone fears Chris and in the end even the king cannot defeat Chris but then they have to leave and then Chris and Susie are home Chris walks through town and feels compelled by the player to talk to all the town's folk they all are surprised but are happy to talk talk about Azrael that is how great is Azrael how wonderful was Azrael can you do this thing that Azrael did I can't wait for Azrael to get home the more chris is forced to interact the more this force inside them this soul makes them listen to all these people the more Chris feels angry they are the only human in a world of monsters they are the weakest in all ways to these people even at home they are the black sheep the bad child while their brother Azrael is good at everything in the dark world Chris was powerful Chris was the best but no one can choose who they are in this world and in this world Chris is nothing they go home and the adventure is set to end the soul the player is set to leave forever but Chris is done being weak they've had a taste of power they've experienced being the strongest and they're not ready to give that up yet so Chris wakes up before the end forces themselves over to the wagon and rips out the soul the player locking them in a bird cage forever if the player is trapped then the game must continue Chris gets to keep the power and they have ideas on how to use it in the future I believe Azrael will have to come back I think you'll have to face the monster he helped create I think you as the player will be separate from Chris but at the same time connected and I think that's just a theory a gale theory thanks for watching before I get to the end screen there are just a few things I want to quick get out first I just want to say a huge thank you to the people behind game theory for inspiring me to make something like this I'm just learning to edit and write scripts so taking this episode on was cool white the undertaking but even though I spent a week making this I've never had so much fun with a video also I totally understand making two-part episodes because there is so much more I wanted to add but just couldn't for timely production purposes Matt pet you and your team are incredibly talented to do this as often as you do second tige like Matt pets theory I wanted to answer some questions I feel might come up that I may not have really answered clearly I made this after seeing the first game theory on Delta rune because while Matt Pat and I saw the same things we interpreted them very differently the dark world for Matt Pat is fake and an imaginary game made by Chris well I see why he thinks that it's a very scientific perspective on the evidence for me it is something more literary in nature I think it's the Wonderland conundrum of did Alice actually go to Wonderland or was it all a dream the game purposely puts Evan to both sides in the game to make it impossible to say for certain yes or no just like the Alice in Wonderland story does because this is clearly outlets in Wonderland but I can't get into that right now I feel like that isn't a part of the true story behind the whole game but more the story behind the game that the player was supposed to play before Chris rooted up third gastro in the Booker to be honest I think that is something strictly for the future chapters maybe that's how the group defeats or saves Chris from themselves maybe there is an answer to why only Chris is human maybe it'll be like the true lab and just be an exposition dump from a story long past I have no idea so I left it out of the theory so that's everything and if you stuck along to the end of this video thank you have a wonderful day and I'll see you next time bye bye you
