We might control Kris during Deltarune, but we aren't Kris.

The ending reveals that we're the invading SOUL that Kris has to tear out of their body to regain control of themselves.

When we first look at the save file, it's Kris' file. But the moment we save, it changes to the name we've choosen.

Several characters in town remark that "Kris" is acting strangely, by being so social, and not acting creepy all the time.

We find a piano that the NPCs say Kris likes to play all the time.. but when WE try to play it, we don't know how.

This isn't our story. It's Kris' story. And Kris has so many simiarities to Chara that it hurts.

Something terrible is happening to this child.

From the very first screen, we can see they're being treated like a second-class citizen in their own adopted home. Asriel has all the awards, all the good gear. Even when they play video games, Asriel gets the good controller, and Kris gets the trashy 3rd-party brand.

Kris' parents are seperated/divorced.

Nobody likes Kris at school.

Kris gets bullied.

Kris' life sucks in so many ways, it's easy to see how it might put a strain on them. A strain that shows.

Deltarune is a slowly buildilng horror story about the tragic life of a child, and their attempts to cope with things no child should have to face.

It's the story of how a child became a monster. In truth.

And I'll bet good money that something terrible happens to them at Christmas, which causes them to run away.

Like Chara did at "the end of 201X".

And yet.. something's wrong with Hometown.

All the monsters are playing the role of humans that once lived there.

Where's the anime technology? It's gone. Even Mettaton's body is gone. Everyone has human technology, except Sans.

And Gaster.

You're quite right that there is a link between Deltarune and Gaster. Time is being warped. The monsters, who have recently escaped the Underground, now find themselves in an imaginative Twilight Zone-style trap you might see in a psychedlic episode of The Prisoner.

Two-voiced Gaster gives us tormented character creation choices.. then his voice changes, and he discards everything.

This world has been changed. Is it another Darkest Experiment? The original Darkest Experiment? I suppose time will tell.

Still think there's zero evidence?
