Deltarune Chapter 2 and The Goner Code

[DoctorScreech]

Noticed a lot of people liked Deltarune C2 here so might as well make a topic about it.

This is what the Goner Code is BTW:
So someone found a script in the game files that seemed a bit off, so checked it and out pops this (surrounding code removed):

No one can hear me, can they...?
...
I guess not.
To be honest, I'm not even sure if I can hear myself.
It's so quiet here...
... and yet, sometimes,
I swear I hear something...
Something like... scratching?

So taking this script "gml_script_UNUSED" and finding it in an earlier version of the game gives us:


Where...
Where am I?
Hello...? Anyone...?
Is... is anybody out there?
Someone!? Anyone!? Can anyone hear me!?
...
It's dark.
It's so dark here.
Someone, anyone, if you can hear me...
Say something, please...


This is definitely some Gaster level stuff. Especially that comment about how "dark" the place is. Sounds like a void to me.
I feel bad for whatever kid must've gotten trapped in this void. Who could it be?
...who's in Undertale but not Deltarune, and talks like this?
Monster Kid is the only chracter that has the same speech patterns but I'm pretty sure he's in the game. I'll have to check.

The theorist also suggests that the static Spamton says is the same kid, speaking through the dialogue. In that case, we'll have to add
...can anyone hear me? Help...

...Mike...
I think it's the same kid.


There's also a gamestate thing where Spamton has different states where one's blank. When called (via hacking), this error handler "Can you see me...?" displays. This supports the Spamton dialogue theory.

So, there's someone trapped inside Spamton. (Kinda how we are trapped inside Kris, or vice versa). Huge props to HalfBredChaos for this. I'd like to see some discussion about this!!

I've seen a few of theories about the code, more specifically that it might be Dess or Susie. For the Susie theory it utilized the goner code from Chapter 4, with the person stating very specific memories like "Breakfast" and "Late night TV", but I don't know if I quite believe either of those theories. It's interesting to think about, for sure!

I don't know if you meant discussion about both Chapter 2 AND The code together or if you meant specifically just this code, but I wanted to add stuff I loved about Chapter 2.

Chapter 2 and Chapter 4, like, constantly fight for the "Number 1" spot on my list of chapter rankings. Chapter 2 came out at a time when it was needed most and Toby "Radiation" Fox dropped it completely for free!!!! It has most of my favorite characters and character moments, like the Rouxls' puzzle house encounter. While the TV World battle was a lot of fun, it will never top puzzle houses (always bet on puzzle houses relevancy, lol). Queen is such a fun antagonist, I love her parallels with Carol Holiday to Noelle (and potential parallels to Berdly's parents/mother) and there's never a dull moment with her on screen. This is the chapter that also made me like Berdly and Noelle, of course. Like Queen, there was never a dull moment with Berdly and Noelle's relationship with Kris was beautifully expanded upon. The Snowgrave/Weird route also made it's big introduction here and it's interesting to see where it will go next, especially since it seems that Chapter 4 locks you in to the route.

I was excited when I saw this topic pop up!!! I hope my reply was relevant, I love Chapter 2.

OOOOOOOH!!! Never seen anyone think it was Monster Kid before. Nor have i seen much about spamton... Most people just default to Dess whenever theres anything mildly mysterious in the game. So seeing someone think its anyone else is really interesting...very very interesting even!!!    

Personally i think this isnt supposed to be anyone in particular. Atleast no one we know well enough yet. Dess seems the most plausible, but shes probably REAAAAAAAL BUSY!!! at the moment. SO maybe its more likely that its goner kid instead!!!

Maybe it might even lead to some monster teen relevancy, Which ive always found to be an overlooked possiblity.
