The Deltarune Chapter 2 Secret Route Is Creepy As Hell

It has been a day since Deltarune was released, and already a secret route has been found that's significantly darker than the game normally is, almost as dark as UNDERTALE's genocide route. There's a couple names for it, but I'll be calling it the noelle ice route.

A Google Doc explaining the entire route can be found here. There's also this YouTube video of the route. Basically, here's a clifnotes version of what happens:

• The player takes Noelle back and uses her freeze attack to freeze all enemies, actively hunting them down and freezing them.
• Noelle is bought a ring to make her stronger.
• Kris says a bunch of creepy shit to her, essentially commanding her. She solves all puzzles.
• Noelle appears incredibly nervous and unsettled, at one point questioning in her head if she should've gotten off of a platform for a puzzle and letting Kris die, to which Kris responds "it's natural" despite it being in Noelle's head
• ALL enemies are wiped out. Eventually Noelle is bought a stronger ring.
• At some point enemies start to run away from you and noelle.
• Eventually Kris and Noelle encounter Berdly. Noelle says that she and kris are "getting stronger" upon being asked what she is doing with Kris by Berdly.
• Berdly appears genuienly concerned for Noelle. He's a lot more serious here, and appears like he genuinely sees Kris as a threat to Noelle. Like he genuienly believes that Kris is going to hurt her.
• Noelle tells Berdly to run away, but Berdly starts a battle. Noelle now has a move called "SnowGrave" with a description that simply reads "fatal"
• Kris commands Noelle to use it, but Noelle says that she doesn't know how. Eventually Noelle relents and uses it.
• The move is incredibly powerful. The entire battle screen becomes a blizzard, and Berdly is hit by what appears to be a massive beam of ice.
• The move ends. A silouette of berdly can be seen inside a massive ice crystal. Noelle says that she's going home.
• When everyone wakes up, Berdly does not. He doesn't respond. Noelle says that he's "asleep", and interacting with him says that "he appears to not be awake."
• It's heavily implied here that berdly is dead.
• Back in the overworld, Noelle appears visibly creeped out by Kris, questioning if it's a dream, saying that their voice was "creepy", Kris butts in and speaks to Noelle, which creaps her out even further.

It's legitinately some of the freakiest shit I've seen in a video game in a long time. It's so... unsettling. It really feels like a creepypasta, but it's real. You took so many specific actions, commanding Noelle, forcing her to become "stronger", ultimately gaining nothing but berdly being killed. I don't like berdly, but he didn't deserve it. Nobody does. But your actions lead to it.

This actually unsettles me. It's so out of sight yet so dramatic. I'm really interested to see if it impacts future chapters.
