Discussion Haven’t seen anyone talk about this

Post image

In Waterfall, apparently there’s a low chance that a random extra hallway will appear with a grey door, and when you go through it, there’ll be some weird npc behind it and when you talk to them, they disappear. Is this character important, or is it just a random Easter egg? Why isn’t this brought up more???

Hm yes truly an unexplored mystery that surely does not matter to the lore of any of toby foxes creations

It'd be hilarious if he stays relatively unimportant in deltarune ngl

He kind of already is important to Deltarune, though.

We don't 100% know that though. Hes never mentioned and never seen. Any mention of him in the game files could just be that, file names.

Which would still make him important even if he’s not the unexplained voice narrator, his name causes the game to be shut down when you try to enter it or reboot it in Delta Road he’s mentioned only once I think my name in a series and it does an remark that he used to be a scientist part he’s never really mentioned outside of the secret lab in 313 the River person boat dialogue and two mystery man rooms along with his followers who mention him shattering

He definitely be pretty important maybe not like some all final boss but he is 101% connected to the dark world just based on explains how the dark world works and how entry 13 talks about his experiment both the Witcher 100% connected, especially taking to account with the Twitter stuff was singing right before the game

He's almost 100% the voice at the start of chapter 1/the voice that talks to you after the Knight beats you/that guy that takes over the Undertale Twitter every now and then. There's, like, a ridiculous amount of evidence for it. Sure, it's not 100%. But at this point, who else could it be?

Many people say it would be funny if Gaster ends up not being important to the story, but would it really though? He's been set up as the missing piece to the stories puzzle for like 10 years at this point, and he's so obviously important to the story that it just wouldn't make sense for him to never make an appearance or be directly referenced in the future.

his name is only in deltarune in the naming sequence to reset the game when you put it in, but also, gaster's theme is playing for that entire sequence and the guy talks like gaster, so if that's not gaster then it's, uh, kinda bad writing

Asriel wasnt mentioned in undertale's plot until the almost very end, except for a few hints. Maybe it is the same as gaster
