Alright, half-baked dog-based conspiracy coming up. A slightly more plausible one.

In the 2013 was the Game, and the Game was with Toby Fox, and the Game was Toby Fox. —An alternate version of John 1:1.

And Toby Fox had nigh-absolute power over the Game. But this power came with a burden.

Through the holy mystery of CODE, Toby Fox was unable to directly interfere with the objects of the Game. So He sent His Prophet, the Dog, to serve in His steed and bring about the Story.

On the first day, He created two races: HUMANS and MONSTERS. And it was good.

But on the first night, disaster struck. The War struck. And it was ungood.

So Toby looked upon His Game, and said:

"Let it be so; the MONSTERS shall be sealed UNDERGROUND, such to protect both races from the inherent chaos of their relationship."

And it was good.

Thousands of years passed, and He was ready to fashion His Story from the Game. Toby Fox's prophet, cursed with immortality, entered into the Underground, unfamiliar. And manipulated time through a power much greater than that of Determination: Imagination. Through the power of Imagination, Toby's prophet was able to weave characters from single bits. Toriel, Asgore, Gerson... All were created retroactively, using the total control granted by Imagination.

Then, He, in His boundless wisdom, created Asriel. The future Angel of both Death and Life, extremely in both ways. And He, in His same wisdom, created Chara. The Fallen Human, destined for another Story.

And then He destroyed them, for the greater good of the Story. Many more years passed, and 201X faded into the annals of history.

Toby created 7 more characters, each with a single defining trait but only one with a name.

That one was Frisk.

Now came the greatest dilemma of all.

To share His great Story with the WORLD ABOVE, Toby had to forfeit something. He had to forfeit his control, his Imagination. For not even He could conjure every response to every choice in live action with millions of Players. So He cheated.

Toby Fox pre-wrote Undertale. Forcing binary choices at the fundamental level, He restored order to the chaos of His Story.

But He felt one more obligation before the RELEASE DATE. He had to reward his loyal Prophet, spreading His change and forcing His wishes upon the Game. So he made one more decision.

To His Prophet, Toby granted a small fraction of his Imagination, and a large amount of his FREE WILL. It is by this that the Dog was able to create Overtale, and by this that the Dog has the strange ability to suspend Canon- suspend the Story- within a small range.

And the Game... was good.

And made Toby Fox a millionaire, that genius sonofabitch.
