it's not like, impossible that toby fox expects the player to play through the entirety of deltarune more than once, no? because even with chapter 3 replays, things start changing with a completed save file with even smaller details like there being more keys present in the first board

the everlasting significance of "the knife"

unto which the knife initially exists as a signifier of something beyond the surface end of chapter 1, but come beginning chapter 2 we realize it was a fakeout of some kind, but by the end of that chapter we further realize that it was a double fakeout in the form of the knife creating the fountain

chapter 3, it sees no use, but chapter 4 it prominently is used to show susie how to create a dark fountain. chapter 5 again follows similar usage, but it begs the question; why does kris not actually use the knife as a weapon in the dark world? does the realism of the object clash with the fantasy?

Probably dumb question, but what are C, M, Y, and K?

CMYK are the colors of printer ink (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key(black)) which happen to map neatly onto the four main characters

addendum: if normal route is "hopes" and weird route is "dreams", knife/sword route can be considered "play" ("without play, the knife grows dull" + aqua's associations between knives and play in ch 5)

im a bit stupid, what do the cmyk mean

I enjoy Ralsei & Kris both occupying chapter 0 here

What gets me about all this is the promise to only have one ending. Is everything going to tie in at the end? or is there some kind of double meaning?

What’s the difference between knife and abandoned route?

abandoned route is currently a guess of an "empty space", but it might have something to do with FRIEND or certain decisions with ralsei, or the titans
