Chapters
Within Deltarune are two stories: one concerning things like "characters", "drama", and "feelings"... and another that I've spent the last six months thinking about. THAT story is one of SYMBOLS. White pens, pointed tails, stars reflected in black water. The dark corners and jagged edges of a warm and fuzzy game. This video chronicles my attempt to delve the murky symbolic underworld at Deltarune's foundations, and map a network of connections between the weirdest of the weird in Deltarune's lore.
Who knows... maybe it'll lead to something interesting? Pay no attention to the "Ink Theory" in the title. I'm sure it won't be important.
