✎ Vítor Emanuel - @vitoremanuelart (me!)
✎ MaxNeton - @MaxNeton
✎ Jotan - @Jotan
Please share it with your friends! (and enemies too)
And consider following our social media! ^^
◾ 👀 "Making of" in progress! 👀 ◾
I really wanted to animate snowgrave route from deltarune as soon as I've watched it. I love Toby Fox's narrative style and the way he carries the themes present in the game, with the player as a character and it's influence with the world being very clear.
So I wanted to stay very true to the game and my interpretation of it, and started conceptualizing and making the storyboard, when MaxNeton and Jotan came and joined the production group, taking this project to a whole new level! If it weren't for their help this animation wouldn't exist today and certainly wouldn't be as good as it is. I'm really glad with this teamwork we did and what came out of it!
We're also planning on recording a "making of" dissecating the process, who did what and all of that, so if you liked the animation keep your eyes peeled!
Thanks for watching, and please consider following our channels and social media if you like animations, music and art in general! There is a lot to come!
This is a fan-animation of a scene from the game deltarune, created by Toby Fox.
Thanks for watching, see you soon!

The way Kris flinches because they don't want Noelle to proceed, but WE do.
I don't. Still haven't done snowgrave or genocide, because I like when video games have happy endings. :)
I also like Berdly too much to kill him.
@@volcanic9120 I have never done Snowgrave either, it was a generic "we" as in "THE PLAYER@
@@nialvessal fair
I felt so bad controlling Kris aaaaaaa
It’s hard to imagine us being the final boss at the end of chapter 7. It could be, or maybe it will be some other villain. I don’t know how Toby could execute that in a game, the player that’s playing said game being a final boss in chapter 7? He’ll find some way though.
Everyone gives Berd a lot of shit, but he still dropped everything to protect his friend, even against someone he thought of as a friend.
Berdly is in my top 3 favorite characters at least. From my interpretation, his arrogance stems from all the pressure he feels to overperform, leading him to a life of stress; a life in which the expectations others have of him lead him to need to convince himself he's important. Really makes me feel bad for the guy, honestly. Not to mention he's also incredibly entertaining haha.
And fought harder and more seriously than when you fight him here in the normal route. AND refused to run even when he knew things were crazy fucked up -- he wanted to save his friend no matter what. *AND* then you throw in how, even if you DON'T help him in the Queen fight in the normal route, he pulls the damn plug off his face on his own in the end, knowingly and willingly sacrificing his arm in the process, *AND* gets in touch with the music trio to gather everyone together in the 11th hour to give you a chance against Giga Queen.
People can say what they want about Berdly. Dude's a total meme with most his dialogue and humor, sure, but he's got a heart of gold under it all and is a truly good and strong person when all the chips are down. And as Queen herself said, he doesn't intend to be mean or offputting to anyone at all, he's got some kind of asperger's going on and literally cannot understand people's emotions or reactions to him -- he's just trying to be cool and likable in the only way he knows how. Say what you want -- Berdly is by far the most underrated character in Deltarune and as of CH2 he might just be my favorite.
@@bird_obsession Berdly reminds me a lot of me when I was a kid. I was a gifted child. I was constantly bombarded with praise by my family and teachers. Everything went to my head, and I treated my peers as lesser people because of it. I grew up without any friends and I only came to truly connect with people when I learned to suppress my ego and respect my peers. Scoring high on tests doesn't make me a better person, or even smarter! My friends have talents I can't even imagine replicating.
@@bird_obsession fax
I hope for the love of god that no one really hates Berdly and people just joke about him. Because yeah, you could see him as annoying all you like, but in the end he's not that bad, he was actually pretty cool (i'm talking about his battle, look at his attacks, they're pretty neat!) and he cared for Noelle. I really don't understand how would you really dislike him, but to each their own.
The moment I realized the voice wasn’t coming out of Kris’ mouth but the player’s literally sent shivers down my spine
Spooky Scary skeletons.

I really like how Berdly instantly forgets trying to make himself look smart or superior when Noelle's genuinely frightened. He's just concerned for her and wants her to be safe. He's a good kid.
As Queen states to us, there’s nothing wrong with him, he’s just annoying. And I believe this shows how he cares for his friend more than just acting so smart in front of everyone.
He stood there before dying just looking so concerned and it makes me so sad 😞 I feel so bad for him.

Cursed like number

Spamton: " I can’t break my strings… "
Kris: " Neither can I…- "
exactly.
spamton, jevil, and kris all tragic characters forced to the brink of insanity than past that edge by the knoweldge of the player and of their state as characters in a game, and now noelle, she can hear our commands now, without kris even saying them for us, her eyes are opening through her interaction with our puppet, kris, and noelle is significantly more powerful than kris, spamton or jevil, catching the attention of queen and being able to instantly kill any enemy with her spells, she was even able to freeze spamton neo when kris couldnt even damage spamton anymore, if noelle goes fully insane because of us going the snowgrave route, well thatll be one hell of a boss fight
That explains why they were friendly to each other at some times like Spamton and Kris already being friends and Kris being devastated after the pacifist fight
They dont even want to...whats worse is how they see them
This explains ALOT
This is why spamton wants Kris's soul, because neither does he
This is why spamton like Kris, he knows that Kris is also in need of help
This is why Kris gets sad after pacifist, he wanted spamton to help him, and when the player dies while fighting spamton, that would make Kris happy because he doesn't have those strings attactched to him anymore
If anybody didn't notice by now, when Noelle lifts her hands you can see she's wearing the thorn ring and it's actually making her finger bleed. Nice attention to detail.
why does it tho?
@@lauraperalta3883 I’m assuming since it’s literally made of thorns in this interpretation of the scene
@@lauraperalta3883 and Noelle tells us its hurt
@@lauraperalta3883 If you're asking in the context of this video, because that's how it is in the game.
The thorn ring deals her damage to wear.
Monsters don't bleed. But it doesn't look exactly like a blood either, so props to the animators anyway.
Has anyone else noticed the weird parallel between Noelle casting a “spell she doesn’t know” and not being able to “spell a word she does know” at the spelling bee?
I never noticed that...
Not sure about this. The word she couldn't spell was December, which is her sister's name -- and it's implied that Dess went missing some years ago. Spamton says she used to reply to his "free friend finder" e-mails asking about her, but he could never find any trace of December Holiday. My suspicion is that's why she couldn't spell it.
She freezes 😂
She freezed. on both.
Oh!
I love how Kris is visibly nervous, as they probably doesn't want to be doing this at all. They probably see Berdly as a friend, even though he does mock them for their level of intelligence.
Also they just don’t want to kill somebody!
They used to play minecraft together according to the spamton sweepstakes

@@stanisdeadprobably nah

I like how on this take the player is the one with the scary voice
Yeah feels fitting
It just felt right xD
Yeah because its the player
After snowgrave, in the hospital its hinted that its you, not kris
They were literally roleplaying as palpatine, when playing the route lol.
@@chainsblood That doesn’t even make any sense.
This is Berdly's best moment in the whole game. Showing that no matter what he'll always protect his best friend from any threat, even if it's another friend.
Even when Noelle tells him to Run away, he still stands his ground because he knows he must stop you, even if it costs him his own life.
It's like ... Sans who don't know to give up yet.
I think that when Noelle tells him to run away, he doesn't because he's too confident in his own abilities. He's still our arrogant yet average Berdly. He thinks he can stop it right here, right now, instead of running away and perhaps getting Queen or someone else to try and put a stop to it. If Berdly had been able to run away and convince Queen that Kris was a real threat and had to be stopped, perhaps they would have both survived. There's no way Kris would be able to stand up against the Giga Queen without a mech of his own, which would be impossible to get without Berdly organizing it.
True that also shows that original run was just like a plaything nobody took it seriously even Susie and Ralsei who were trying to be more seriouse but couldn't only time they stuff a little bit more seriouse was when Spamton was there so Snowgrave was actually something seriouse
@@soylentb8085 *proceed* ❤️
Correction: best moment in this chapter. I get the feeling we'll probably see more of him in later chapters. However, anything from them will have some TOUGH competition with this scene
This is probably the best and most accurate interpretation of this fight. Kris was never the villain in this route, but a puppet who was powerless to save Noel from the player. I love that it's shown that they are clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation, but doesn't have any control over their body to change the outcome. I also love that Noel casting Snowgrave isn't seen as something magical and beautiful, but utterly disturbing and horrifying with how her eyes go completely blank. It's brilliant
Damn.. i didnt connect the dots until just now with Kris throwing the soul in the cage and whatever just to do his own thing... 😢

@@someoneontheinternet40 kris is neither a girl or a boy, so they use they/them pronouns :)
Berdly's reaction to when Noelle uses the Snowgrave spell is just... _devastating._ The look on his face just screams "This isn't the Noelle I know..." before she finally freezes him.
For me it's more like "what the hell happened to you?"
his reaction, right before she froze him, was really sad in my opinion
he even tried to say something, but nothing was shown due to him being cut off..
Something *horrible* is happening to his friend, and there is nothing he can do to help her.
The fact Noelle’s ear twitches when she hears Kris use snowgrave is terrifying. If only Susie taught Noelle S action
Noelle do have noelle do have n action,look in the "magic" button
@@Nitro2275 I mean using it for herself without Kris’ command because it was shown that Kris basically commands his party mates Susie in chapter 1 having more arrogance to ignore Kris
@@Nitro2275 It wasn't Kris commanding, what she hears is US, the player giving her those commands in the real world, the voice when she hears "proceed" and "defend" are the player - us telling her what to do while everything Kris can do is watch

The way Noelle just looks for a second to see if there was a slim chance it never happened and Berdly is okay which is met with the frame shot of Berdly frozen to death as Noelle quickly turns away and gets up in total shock is depressing. Snowgrave is something horrific bro.
I have a question is he actually dead? Also too is this the cannon route or pacifist??
@@jestrel Snowgrave is a FATAL spell allowed usage thru the Thorn Ring.
TL;DR,
Noelle hit Berdley with a *metric fuckton* of JAGGED, ROCK HARD ICE AT MACH JESUS...in the middle of what amounts to a brief temporary Blizzard/Total Whiteout that her usage of Snowgrave creates....
He was absolutely torn to shreds & pulverized by the impact of Noelle's Snowgrave yet kept whole at the moment of death, all while suffocating all at the same time. Encased in what amounts to a self-incanted iceberg by Noelle.
Berdley, to put it frankly, got absolutely *eviscerated* by an unfathomably large mass of ice, but in a way that forever preserved the very exact moment of his death. Imagine being encased in solid ice, every orifice and bit of space in your body filled with solid ice. Your nerves are absolutely SHREIKING in agonizing pain, as the skin is ripped & flayed clean off your body. You sit there, encased in ice, suffocating from the ice that now occupies the whole space in your lungs. The very moment your life ends....forever encased in solid ice. In front of your crush/classmate.
*THAT*....is what happened to Berdley. His death was quick but ultimately oh so gruesome. By the time Berdley felt the ice hit him, he was already dead
@@jestrel we still don't know neither of these questions but i think there is no canon route
@@annoyingdude7117 Ohh alrighty thank you
@@jestrellso at the end of this route when everyone comes to. Berdly is just straight up unresponsive in the computer room. So I’d say dead or in a coma
i love how clear it’s becoming that we the player are not kris. i’ve never played a game where it’s so apparent that the player character has their own clear intent that we might just disregard. such a great game, such and interesting topic
like you never wonder what master chiefs preferred gun is, because we’re never led to think of him as having that much agency, but kris is a complete different person with us controlling them and it’s clear to the world that that’s the case. and they way they answer whether or not they’re okay after the spamton neo fight. such a thought provoking game
@@beebo- It's so messed up too, I've never seen any other game make the Player themselves a character on their own with its own intentions. Especially in the Snowgrave Route where it's implied its intentions are completely malicious at that. Hence why it's creepy as heck, but also it makes me wish Ch 3 would come (take your time Toby but still AaaAAAAAA).
@@klltx2001Undertale has it but it's much less of a focus and more implied than outright confirmed
@@klltx2001one shot!
Agreed with the last comment! OneShot is so good specifically because you are *not* the player character.
People do be saying "wtf Toby" for making the scene. But they never say "wtf player" for activating the scene.
Quite the interesting thought, the game punishes you for YOUR actions, toby is just showing you the monster you really are.. (not you specifically btw)
@@levisargent6430 for me snowgrave route show how fountain creatures hypocrisy
I said this and I’ll say it again on the final neo fight
“Kris called for help”
Nobody comes
“YOU whisper for noelle”
She comes
I've always seen the exact opposite, fans talk about how horrible it is for the player to do Genocide or Snowgrave but not for someone to create those routes in the first place.
@@TriforceWisdom64 I mean it’s you and Toby made it clear
In a way, this animation shows that Kris doesn’t want things to go as they are. But as we, the player, are in control, they have no way of stopping us.
Expect when they rip their soul out briefly, but they can’t survive long without it of course.
Hes kinda basically a puppet
@@infamoussoapconsumer3870 Exactly like Spamton NEO
Reminds me of the start of chapter 1. Saying how kris choices dont actually matter. Gives this route a new meaning.
@@sirarpit397 except spamton’s puppet master abandoned him long ago
3:27 even Kris looks surprised that the player took Noelle to the limit of doing Snowgrave
Frisk: “First time?”
[Even] kris [is afraid]
Genocide Route is pure player fault, and fandom thinks its chara lol
@@SaissemThink the whole game is about what the player makes frisk or chara out through the choices so yeah, chara is the directly result and creation of what the players chooses and get determined to do
@@SaissemTbh the whole Chara hate humanity thing and a comment about Chara isnt the greatest person and lastly the fact Chara Slashed our screen on the end of Genocide.
Its kinda felt like Chara the Evil one until Realization hit that Chara literally reincarnate to stop the player proceed any further lol
And after twisting together a ring of thorns, they put it on her right hand, and a watch of silver on her left; and they knelt down before her and mocked her, saying, “Hail, Queen of the Snow!”
!!!
ohh i love this
This
@@redmanrode8349Bruh it's the fucking bible
I think when the game says "Noelle became stronger"
or "You became stronger"
What it really means is that your grip over the characters has become stronger. Little puppets that you can keep controlling for longer.
Chapter 2 was all about control. Snowgrave where you have a good little puppet that comes when you whisper, Spamtom in the normal route, Queen's gilded cage.
Either way we control Kris.
Great theory. It does make a lot of sense
That's why their hp increases, your control makes them keep fighting for longer
Pretty sure it's just about their LV going up in the dark world or something similar.
I love puppets
I love the detail of Kris, a silent character who doesn't express themselves really at all, is surprised at snowgrave
kris is not letting us see their expression but we can figure out from what the other characters have to say about their condition "pissed off look" "why are you yelling" "why do they look so hurt" etc.
More like shocked than surprised,they don't want any of this but being forced by the player to do this.They care about their childhood friend.
After berdly fight in snowgrave you meet again with squad and ralsei will ask if they are feeling well which obviously isn't the case.
Even the word silent is wrong since we force them to talk for us(except snowgrave,we influenced noelle and don't require kris to talk in our place).
Noelle knows something is wrong from the beginning since kris suddenly became talkative(when you talk to her in chapter 1,kris is silent and doesn't involve themselves with anybody but we force them to do the opposite and do random shit and noelle is the only character that knows kris better than anyone),well she only truly knows we control kris once she can hear our voice.
Such a short comment bruh
i love how we can see the player grin as soon as the tp bar is full and how kris seems to be struggling the longer the fight goes on
clearly they dont like whatever is going on
Kris is trying to fight back but he's controlled by a maniac which is us the player. This one scene really says alot. Also by fighting back i mean not making it seem like's he's trying to say Snowgrave.
I have this theory/headcanon that we (the player) can't see Kris expressions or hear them, because we (the player) can only perceive them as a puppet, who cares about what our puppet feels or wants? It's only job is to obey us in being our empty vessel that let us be a part of this world (game)
@@Mi-dm2ks I think that's it. There's no other explanation.. But there are still unsolved answers like: How are we controlling Kris? Why did Kris get controlled and how? What was his life before we took control of him? It's just a loophole of questions. I hope they can get answered soon, as it is important to understanding the entire lore.
Over a year later, and the whole existence of the snow grave route still feels like a fever dream, or a fanstory. And yet, it's real and gonna be something special to see in the coming chapters
TV tropes points out that Undertale’s Genocide Route is an official creepy pasta!
I remember first time seeing it and being convinced it was a mod....
@@velboi3823 I also thought it was a mod, I was like, "Well there's no way there's already a genocide route right-"
There is
Oh god
Currently in the middle of a Snowgrave run, Spamton NEO kicking my butt. Damn it.
EDIT: i ended up kicking his butt the same day first try after a break lol. Fun boss.
@@dezgastingI'm in the same boat, Spamton keeps owning me XD
@@craycraywolf6726 I know next to nothing about this route, besides this fan animation, which I assume is fairly accurate to a scene from it. Spamton (Pacifist route) is the only Boss or enemy thus far that has given me a game over. I beat him on the 2nd attempt, but it was still a close call. Was not expecting him of all characters to be my first true challenge with the game.
3:48 not even most horror movies I've seen have made me feel this combination of fear, un-comfortability, and genuine anxiety. You have a gift, this is horror. No Jumpscare, just unsettling imagery and silence after a build-up
this exactly

The eyes do it for me. Like she’s possessed. And maybe, she kind of is, by us.
No fr, it's not scary, it's unsettling. A perfect kind of horror, sends chills down my spine
Now this makes me wonder what the next chapters hold for possible genocide routes (maybe not Noelle but someone else)
The part where Noelle is just standing there, eyes white, her hand out, was genuinely unsettling. This is amazing
They even captured the detail of her wearing the Thorn Ring!
@@NateMcCloud and her hands bleeding because of it
@@xboxoneyes7734 YES! So much love was put into crafting this amazing animation!
@@NateMcCloud This is one of the best Animations about the snowgrave,Just need to make it one of the most well know one now
I agree.
I love how the "terrifying voice" Noelle hears sounds similar to the voice that whispers "deltarune" before the chapter 1 credits.
Its probably the same. Toby used a stock voice synth from FL Studio to make that
omg i love that sound so much
Awesome attention to details
Friend he talk how in "Catalogue Mandela", if want can watch but know it s horror.
I absolutely love how you portray Kris's frustration that they can't act by their own accord, and it's the player making their decisions!
Truly, on to be a monster in other games now
I like the fact that when Noelle tells Berdly to run away, and when she says “Watch what happens when I cast a spell I don’t know!” her mouth is perfectly synced to the words. Adds more impact to those moments.
Edit: Just noticed she also visibly says “Snowgrave” as well. Yeesh...
And "run away"

They really werent though but it would be a nicer tale if that was the case...
Yeah, spooky stuff, I'm also under the belief that Kris isn't the one doing these things, that it's always been the player (us) that has been calling the shots, I mean wasn't that the lesson we were supposed to take home with the ending of the genocide route, that it's [our] determination.
@@linear1224
yeah, chara was portrayed as the villain in undertale but she was just doing what the player was, thinking that it was right. just as noelle thought she was getting stronger and nothing more
@@sapphire4310 Chara was always a asshole. Even Asriel said so at the end of true pacifist. Chara was kinda of a dick the whole game.
@@SleepingsGaming Yeah, but in the end it's you who actually kill everyone.
Chara wasn't a good person and they always wanted to kill everyone, but it's _you_ who actually do it
I LOVE the frames where the mouth is whispering “defend” and “proceed” and how it becomes increasingly clear how it isn’t Kris saying these words, but the player. The hand pressing a key on a keyboard to confirm Snowgrave sent chills down my spine.
And of course that held moment where Noelle’s pupils go white and she’s frozen in place with her hands out, the few moments before the snow starts falling…
Absolutely masterful.
Yess! The white eyes and outstretched hands with the ring, in pure silence before the sheer terror that's about to unfold.
I also kinda enjoy how the eye looks. The mouth is human, it's real, it's tangible and we can kinda sympathise or understand why it does what it does. It speaks the voice of curiosity.
But the eye, it's so out-spaced from everything, the light illuminating the iris like an octopus, an eldritch being beyond the understanding of Kris. Beckoning for him and Noell to gain tension points.
This is not to say "people who do snowgrave are unhuman", but to show us the absolute eldritch idea of what is must be like to be controlled from an outside source like kris is.
@@showtheshow3397 yes that’s an excellent point!

BHAHAHA

@@bakedmilk fr
the way that berdly doesnt even seem scared or try to defend himself, but he just stands there heartbroken adds to how horrifying this route is. he was fucked over since the beginning and everyone knew it. his best friend (and, by extension, only friend) is literally levitating, about to cast a fatal spell on him, and he doesn't even try to escape. he would quite literally rather die than run away while his friend gets hurt.
honestly berdly is the biggest giga chad in this entire game like seriously bro just wants to protect his friend. the only reason he's the way he is is bc he forces himself to live up to impossible expectations. he just tries to seem likeable in the only way he knows how, because the only reason anyone ever gave him attention growing up was for his achievements, so he thinks that that's the only way people are gonna acknowledge his existence... poor dude was probably neglected. like he said NOBODY remembered his name until he won the spelling bee. queen is a whole ass robot and she STILL called him burghley because she didnt care about him enough to remember his name, he fr wasnt exaggerating huh?
like in this fight he seriously gives it his all and refuses to back down because he doesn't want to see his friend get hurt. compared to the normal route, this fight in this route is harder because berdly just does not want to give in, because in this route he has something to lose. don't get me wrong, the concern is still present in the normal route, but in snowgrave it's just genuinely so much sadder. even if berdly doesn't show it very well he genuinely worries and cares about noelle and wants the best for her, dude just can't understand the emotions of other people. not his fault at all. like berdly was literally the one who came up with an actual plan to save noelle!!!!!!! say what you want but hes one of the most caring characters in the game, hes just not great at showing it in ways that everyone else appreciates. the whole reason he followed queen in the first place was because he thought that he would be able to create a perfect world for noelle and himself. queen used this as a way to manipulate him, with the ability to create a place that noelle could be happy in as a prize for doing her bidding.
and its not even just noelle tbh. when you befriend him in the pacifist route and he gets plugged by queen, if you don't help him he WILLINGLY FRIES HIS ARM to PULL THE PLUG OFF HIS OWN DAMN FACE so he can help you. then he somehow gets in contact with sweetcap'ncakes and gathers all of the friends you made and proceeds to lead the creation of the WHOLE THRASH MACHINE so you can fight giga queen. not to mention he did this all with a fucked arm AND hardly any energy left. he would really do anything for his friends.
seeing him knowing damn well he's fucked over because his best friend is literally levitating and about to kill him, but refusing to run away, defend himself or leave her side makes me feel like somebody just put my respiratory system under a hydraulic press. im literally drowning in a puddle of my own tears rn please help me. genuinely. this crushed me. i havent moved for an hour because i'm sitting here bathing in my own sorrow.

The way he doesn't even really look deathly afraid and more so worried and sad is what gets me... Good job on capturing the emotion. It was already a super dark and heavy moment before but I failed to really connect to it until now.
*You are gonna have to try a little smarter than that.
(Battle against a true gamer starts)
It didn't connect with me at first either. It took me until later to connect the idea when Spamton NEO specifically called us out on manipulating her, as well as the distinction between Kris calling for Susie and Ralsei's help VS "You", the player, whispering Noelle's name to help. Poor Kris is just here, unable to do anything.
I'd love to see an AU were Kris breaks free of control often and in this scenario they'd shout something like "Berdly! Defend!" which either makes Berdly dodge or block just enough to keep him mostly unfrozen
or where they text Noelle when their soul is in the couch cushions to take off whatever's on her finger and stay away from them, or where Noelle confides in Susie and they haul Berdly to the dark world and Ralsei tries to save him and tells them everything he knows about the soul and tries to comfort Noelle because he is a little bit of a puppet too

As an artist, horror is hard to convey. Its not from jumpscares or loud bangs or action scenes, but from a sense of twisted reality that does not belong. Noelle's face is terrifying, not because its new or wonderous, but because we have gotten used to how it looks and seeing it in an eerie way frightens us. The silence is abnormal given how loud the video is normally and because the frame stays for so long, we feel uncomfortable.
Kudos to the artist(s) for creating a wonderful piece of artwork that sent shivers down my spine. A beautiful piece of art that truly brings out the horror of Snowgrave.
Long live the Snow Queen.
I love how the player is portrayed as this disgusting grey figure. It really adds to how unnerving this whole scene is.
it's almost like the Vessel that you construct in the very beginning.
Almost like the artist is disgusted with themselves for their very actions they willingly and sadistically chose.
Cause this animations feels like it's from their own personal experience with the game, I wonder if they are a darker individual, deep down, more than they ever portray themselves as.
I wonder why they chose to include the player in this animation, but it's good nonetheless
@@Srendrew8 to demonstrate that the player and Kris are separate entities. Kris is simply being strung along like a puppet, the player, us, is the voice noelle is hearing.
@@drek.475 not really, but whatever helps you sleep at night!
The shots to the player's mouth, the reflection of the screen in their eyes? The slow use of Snowgrave, giving time to see Berdly's face and the flashback to the sprites when they were kids? Dang, this hurts and it's beautiful
Yeah, it nails pacing.
It is not beautiful it just hurts.
the smile on the player when the tp is full is so ominous
I love the details in this animation, like the part where Noelle finally stops hiding her ring finger. She’s far too afraid to speak up for herself, or rather, she’s afraid of the player. (I mean technically kris cuz yk she doesn’t know we’re controlling them) but it shows that she sacrifices so much to please others, and she turns a blind eye and even seems to be ashamed of her own needs. She hides the ring and her pain, even though it’s growing even tighter around her finger to the point that it bleeds.
oh no you're right!
At this point the thorn ring has caused her so much pain in return for the power of snowgrave that if you look closely at her hand there’s blood dripping down from the ring
You can see the clear increasing despair of Berdly as the battle progresses, you can't win by just defending, and Berdly knows that, he knows you're preparing something, and him being unable to take Kris down just increases that despair even more, those faces of frustration and fear are exactly on point.
Edit:Woah i've never gotten this many likes, thanks a lot
:(
Arguably even worse is that if Berdly knows how battles work (and he clearly must do, since Noelle didn't and she needed it explained to her) then he knows that there is absolutely nothing he can do except try and take you out before you're finished preparing, because you still receive TP from just the act of defending even if Berdly doesn't attack you.
if he does defeat kris, he will say “Noelle, kris is gone...you can stop now.” or something like that but she wont...because it isnt kris telling her to do this but US the player
THIS IS SO GOOD. The shots, the expressions, the sheer terror on all of their faces when Noelle starts to speak to no one and cast the spell- THE SHOTS OF "US"??? THE SHEER SILENCE WAS SO INTIMIDATING OH MY GOD. THIS IS LITERALLY. PERFECT.
IKR
Kris: expressions?
Yeah, this made the already very unsettling Snowgrave attack legit terrifying
Wow noelle empty expression when she casted snowgrave was so good
The “player or us” shots really are the most chilling
The way the frame just. *Freezes* on Noelle's empty eyes when she uses Snowgrave
That was incredible. Just struck fear into my soul
4:12 Oh God. Maybe gamers do die actually
-Burghley 2022
I like how Berdly stares at Noelle while she's starting to levitate. He looks like he knows what is about to happen
I like to imagine we might find out why later in the game
He even says her name if you look at it closely just before he gets put in the fridge.
He definitely knows that something bad is going to happen, that she is going to do something bad probably against her will
@@whatsyouropiniononsawblades "gets put in the fridge" oh god why did that make me laugh.
@@tarniabook3076 *frozen chicken that’s why*
Thinking about this from Berdly's point of view, Noelle was his savior, his best friend for his entire life. She helped him through everything, and he would do anything to protect her, even sacrifice himself.
Berdly is such a good and nuanced character, I like how he genuinely cares for Noelle more than because she's smart, he sees her as a friend and would protect her. Holy hell toby is a good ass writer
@@wooblydooblygod3857 the best part is in his mind he though Noelle had crush on him(what an absolute egoist lol :D ) so he was trying to be kind to her and looking for a way to "tell her" that he is not "thinking same way about her"(Kill me XD)
He is a nice guy... his ego needs a beat down and absolute humilation but he is really nice person when he is not talking about how smart he is :D
@@wooblydooblygod3857 xkcd: hyphen
Berdly may be annoying but the fact he won the spelling bee just went to his head and stayed there.
@@makaramuss the win went to his head, but his character made room for plenty of hilarious scenes
3:04 The pure terror on Kris’ face here is amazing. Really shows they don’t want to do this to Noelle.
To me, the shot of Kris at 4:55 just puts a hole in my stomach. The look of shock, but his body is still tense and ready from the players influence. Truly encapsulates the “unwilling puppet” feeling Kris is meant to have.
Whoa, this is amazing!
Thank you!!!
Hey watcha doing here? Love your videos
Didn’t expect to see you here
Well ain’t it -something- seeing you here.
Make something about deltarune please 🙏 i think it would be really cool 😎
The added detail of seeing Kris crying is very powerful. Imagine someone having control over your body and forcing you to force one of your friends to kill their own friend. I can't imagine something more psychologically painful, I'm really excited to see the continuation of the snowgrave route in the next three chapters
Looks like kris is sweating not crying
@@edmundchin7184 2 drops are dripping from under their eyes
@@staleshortcake9442 From the starting location I am thinking it is sweat, due to the stress of having to watch a friend go through such pain.
I dont even remember that and I still thought the animation was amazing and intense...I wonder if I blocked that out or wasnt paying attention due to the severe insane and evil nature this person actually has and is even today...they aren't sad in real life about anything and beyond anyones wildest dreams on who they really are...it truly is one of the most worst things that has ever been and ever will be.
When was this happening? I didn't notice that detail.
Almost a year after playing this route, my breathing stopped when the Snow fell, that melody... that melody haunts me.
To me it is the melody of no return.
It has been done.
i haven’t even played the game but that sound. it sounds like a black hole’s event horizon in my mind
The note progression of that Snowgrave chime is legitimately unsettling.
Like you KNOW you're about to die, but you're afraid inside of JUST how violently painful it will be...
I just newly discovered this SnowGrave route, and I genuinely cannot believe how quickly it turns dark. Toby is going beyond "Killing beloved characters" now, you're actively able to hurt, and psychologically manipulate them into doing things that they wouldn't do otherwise. I really, REALLY hope he expands on this in the full game, because it sets a good message on how abusers tend to act toward their victims, and how easily it can all go down hill if you let it. There's something to be said for the player FINDING such a route, which you could chalk up to pure, utter curiosity (because you view them as just pixels on a screen), but at the same time, its something, someone, somewhere, actually would be vile enough to do of their own volition. A good question on if our curiosity is evil, or is it the equivalent of taking a sunglass to an anthill.
I loved this animation, and it captures the pseudo horror aspect of it all. A sub has been earned to say the least lol
The whole community teamed up to figure it out within a day and then within another day there was an animation of Noelle and Kris default dancing at Berdly’s corpse
It's so sad to me that berdly doesn't look like he's scared for his life when noelle casts snowgrave, rather he looks concerned for noelle.
Worrying for his only friend to the bitter end....poor guy
Underrated part of this is how we only see Berdly’s disfigured body in the ice for only like a frame, so we can only see after affects of snow grave from Noelles perspective
Bro
K but where
I've seen the ice part again at 25x speed, and I still don't see what you're talking about, it's a repeating pattern of falling ice
@@Lifea16 at like 5:19
Um where exactly?
Maybe cause I haven’t scrolled far enough but I haven’t seen people mention how cool those shield sounds are and how the blue chicken (forgot his name sorry) seems so hopeless, all of them. It’s like impending doom. They’re all just one pantomime, the world and all!
Oh, and the ring of thorns making her bleed, it’s like she is resisting it? But finally lets loose at the end with her outrage of what “Kris” is making her do.
I think it makes her bleed just because it drains her HP to 55 in battle
I love how you made even Kris themself seem absolutely powerless, as if they didn't wanna go so far either.
that part where it was just her eyes white, completely still, and just silence was actually chilling
It was actually chilling. Very chilling.
@@kx7500 more chilling than winter days
More chilling then birdly
YES. LOVED IT
that freaked me out so bad
You can tell Toby as a kid always felt guilty for the main character’s death whenever he died in a video game which is probably why he portrays the player as the villain all the time lol
Deep but I feel like he does it because it's the truth
Similar story with Dan Salvato (the creator of Doki Doki Literature Club). In one of his dev commentary streams, he mentions how when he was younger, he would watch his friends play games like the sims and they would torture the characters by trapping them in pools or tiny rooms. He said that those types of experiences really impacted him. For his friends it was funny and silly, but it was rather morbid for him. I don't wanna spoil Doki Doki Literature Club, but you can definitely see how it inspired the attitude of the game's main antagonist.
Well only in the genocide routes. (Which would be the ideal path for rpg's)
Or just like what the guy above me said how in almost all RPGs your forced to murder in order to get stronger with no absolute consequence
Well you can choose to be villain or hero
I really want to see Deltarune play more into Kris being controlled by the player but them still reacting to what they're forced to do - the cut between Kris and the horrific grey mouth was just chilling - as if it was the vessel you created at the beginning of the game
the singular glance noelle gives berdly before forcing herself to look away is just gut-wrenching. the subtle details leading up to the climax only make it worse. noelle had her eyes closed so she didnt even recognize berdly at first. she turns to hide behind kris while she gathers her thoughts under berdly's prying questions. she fidgets with her ring, and all the memories of the prior battles flash through her mind.
before today, noelle was shy and timid, passive and yielding. but she just fell into a strange new world full of magic and kris showed up to save her from all the monsters. the player has been slowly conditioning her to combat this entire time, so by the time we reach berdly, combat is what noelle is anticipating. thats why she doesnt bother to look, she just assumes berdly is an enemy.
the ring is creating a split in our poor noelle, one that trusts the player and the power the player helped her control, and the original noelle that sees all the harm shes causing but is too naive and timid to even confront herself.
Jesus Christ, dude. This one is the most disturbing Snowgrave animation that’s come out, bar none. What really got me was how happy you made Berdly seem when he first saw Noelle, and how Noelle was digging in her hands throughout the whole encounter. Not to mention showing the player making the choices to push Noelle over the edge, and Kris looking on in silent terror. You definitely got a sub. Can’t wait to see what else you’ll make. Cheers.
Her hands bleeding was actually the Thorn Ring, pretty awesome detail

Kris does not want this, but the PLAYER does, the PLAYER is forcing Kris to say "Proceed" to Noelle, the PLAYER forces Noelle to cast Snowgrave, freezing and killing Berdly. This is a scary situation for the characters, even Kris.
I see this said everywhere, do so many people not understand that?
@@greekifreekifan870 Yeah, many think Kris and the player are one and the same, which is weird considering the start of deltarune chapter 1 and the ends of chapter 1 and 2
The one thngthat would have been a little better is if Kris went down, because Noell could have said, "I can still hear their voice, because throughout the battle she's hearing The Player's voice. It's not even Kris. Though it's really implied, look at Noel's ear when the sound for selecting Snowgrave hits, and the look of total confusion Kris has at her outbursts. It's not Kris saying that.
The completely blank eyes give me shivers, it's like she's just a mindless zombie for the player to use and break.
2:40 this is where I realized Kris wasn’t the one giving the orders in this animation. Didn’t expect anyone to actually follow the source material so honestly!
This expresses just how horrifying the snowgrave route actually is, and how the player is the one making the decisions, so good!
True!
@@Aurora_Animates Not True!

This truly captures how depraved a snowgrave route can be
Making “the player” the main antagonistic force in an animation like this is great, and a great portrayal of what’s actually happening in this scene…
I know right ive never seen any animation that depicts the player in such way, whoever did this route probably feels horrible because of that
It's the Gaster and not the player in Deltarune
@@Renatoojusticeiro --- no, it's The Player, Gaster didn't force Noelle to do this horrible shit, it was The Person who played the Snowgrave, aka you, me and probably most of people here, The Player have the chance to avoid doing this, they/he/she could just hit the "I'm protecting her from you" option... but The Player wanted to see the "Genocide Route" and fight the Spamton NEO like it's some sort of Sans, wanted to see the beloved character suffer, wanted to see world in despair after Chapter 1 take away that possibility... and you gonna take the fault on some magical man that maybe is unimportant in the full game, for the Player's crimes.
3:26 the look of concern and terror on Kris's face really puts into perspective that they're not the one controlling their or Noelle's actions, it's YOU as the player. As the one controlling these characters, the blood is on YOUR hands. You're responsible for everyone's deaths.
mhm
Yeah, look at Kris' shield on 3:40. They are shocked about what's going on...
The opinions of the vessel do not matter. Proceed.

@@cllncl, "Officer, that's a misunderstanding! I didn't kill him, my pistol did!"
This while video was masterfully animated but the part where Noelle gives in and is screaming "Look what happens when I use a spell I don't know" is my favourite part, the close up on Noelle's desparate and irritated face along with this smooth animation is outstanding
the first time i watched this was at 4 in the morning. and because i was so tired, the horrific expressions and the erie and spooky concept left me with udder shock,mild fear, and paranoia
cming back a year later to find myself enjoing the horror and detail in animation.
good job, creator
Kinda want to see if Noelle would be sporting a look of horror after Snowgrave or not.
Hey, gonzo! Nice seeing you here!
I more feel like she would be numb
I remember when gonzo called me gay
It's better left to the viewer's imagination, I think.
Pretty sure her eyes would still be empty/hollow/glazed like they were and she'd probably have a very morbid albeit almost numb/blank expression.
Kris being so pained and saddened by this route shows that it really is the player doing this to them, to Noelle, to Berdly- the player is the one ruining their life
To be fair nothing weade him do back in chapter 1 affected his life negatively overall.
This was manipulating him into manipulating his friend into killng his other friend is next level fucked up

@@sebagomez4647 noelles a she

I thought kris went by all pronouns
i like the turn that you give to noelle being ordered to use snowgrave,it's not kris telling her to do it,she is literally hearing the players voice in her head,it's like LOVE makes her so distant from reality that she is basically schizophrenic at this point.
I think this perfectly portraits how Deltarune wants you to look at the player in this route, a sadistic monster who sees nothing of these peoples lives.
i love how when it shows the commanding like “proceed” and “defend” it cuts to another scene of lipsync and shows that kris is not the person commanding but the player is, i love this so much! its so great! amazing!
Eeeeyyyyy cuptoast!
Added onto this, when Kris teeth are shown I think it's kris trying to fight the player for control, like a desperate attempt to save noelle and berdly from this. But after all, they can't do much. Your a player in the real world.. and they is only a character in a game, they can only fight back so much.
@@philipthewolf8972 they* but also that's a really good point
yeah no shit
deltarune brainrot too, i presume? Im seeing you everywhere on these animations.
Holy shit, this makes me even more guilty making Noelle freeze Berdley. Even more seeing how Kris is NOT on board with any of it whatsoever. The terror in their eyes is the same in Noelle's. Kris knows that Noelle is being controlled just as they are, and they are scared about what we will choose to make them do. Grade A animation dude, keep it up!
It makes you wonder, cause like, in the moments where Kris rips their soul out and goes "evil" mode, I wonder if they are truly not evil. I wonder if they care about the other characters when the player is not in control, and simply want to be free of their harness.
@@_TheDoctor Im pretty sure we as the player are the villain. We are the reason mainly Kris doesn't have free will. Especially in the genocide rout. We are making Kris and their friends do all these terrible things and Kris ripping out their heart is really just them wanting to have free will. I'm probably looking to much into it though lol
@@dinopines9191 Same with Frisk and Chara.
@@_TheDoctor It may not be Kris tearing our SOUL from their body. It might be someone else possessing him. It's implied that he began acting strangely before we even started playing.
@@_TheDoctor They are definitely not evil, they just want to take control of their own body again, and perhaps cry out for help to other characters, etc
Indeed we are the villains of the game. But still, making this route felt like we are also being part of something that we can't entirely understand for now.
Berdly asks, "Proceed... where?" and Noelle can't answer that but neither can we because we are just doing stuff we found in a Google Doc and not knowing what will happen because of it - honestly, Undertale is the same; with Undertale the game tells us to spare everyone and something good will happen, but still it's the sense of blindly proceeding onward and not knowing how this can all work out for the better and watching what happens!
The sound of the freezing attack gives me goosebumps every time. Terrifying stuff, and fantastic work.
This made me realize just how fucked up snowgrave really is for everyone involved... The tension is palpable- the animations amazing and I'm so so so tense. Great work!
The fact that Berdly wont wake up when they're back in the light world, he dead
@@cristianbellino8828 the worst part of this tbh
haha tension bit
@@cristianbellino8828 Considering how monsters work he is probably fallen down amd will die in the real world.
It does such a good job of showing how this is a path that no one in the story wants, but the tyrant controlling it's path, and how everyone is made a puppet to that desire...
If we think about it, being in Noelle's place would feel horrible. That a greater force forces you to do something you do not want. I would shit my pants.
That is something Kris was feeling since chapter 1 too xd
i shat myself
It's not so much that it's forcing you to do something you don't want.
But growing dependant on said force because you cannot imagine how to deal with things on your own
Which is manipulation, precisely what snowgrave is about
I love the “player voice”. It’s different than any other voice in the universe, and definitely not Kris’ voice. It fits perfectly for the player.
I like the "Haha you're dead now" beam
3:25, I like how even Kris was creeped out by how the player was forcing THEM to force HER to use Snowgrave
It just shows you who the real villain of the game is...
I wouldn’t call Kris really a good guy anymore either. If he hated our control that much in the beginning, why did he put us back in? Also that bit with the fountain, especially AFTER ralsei’s spiel in both routes, and putting us back in at the bathroom scene? That doesn’t seem right. If he could take us out whenever, why doesn’t he just leave us to rot away in the bathroom sink, or the couch? No, he pulls us out twice. Hell, I did the Snowgrave hoping he wouldn’t open a fountain, it was like, “well you probably hate my guts now for what I did, now you can’t open another fountain and have Darkeners turned to stone and awaken the Titans, ha ha ha!” NOPE. I don’t think Kris hates our “control” (even though I still believe that we play as Kris like in a play where you didn’t get the role you wanted, you were made to play as someone else) as much as other people originally believed.
@@michelleswondrousvideos2784 The way Kris shambled after every single soul pullout, it's very likely that they can only very barely survive without it - they had trouble simply WALKING. So them keeping us (the player) in control is more of a compromise until they find a better way, methinks.
@@Levyafan But he still wouldn’t be able to climb out the window, as it would take a lot of upper body strength, and then slash tires. If he’a really a “good” guy, why would he slash his own Mother’s car tires, especially if there was no school the next day? Why would he put us back in? In the beginning of Chapter 2, interacting with the bird cage states: “when the door is closed, there is NO escape”. So we wouldn’t have escaped back to Kris at the end of Chapter One. Kris pulled us out. True, the shambling is off, but I think there’s something else going on there rather than Kris being weakened from yanking out our soul and chucking us into a bird cage like a baseball pitcher, and he wouldn’t take us out of the sink either. Not if he hates our control that much. Now that I know who, or what Kris really is, I’m not so keen on him either. Really, it would be best to leave the soul in either places and find help. That reminds me actually: in chapter one or chapter two, Kris doesn’t warn people about “other worldly beings who control my body and I’m forced to do what they say”, he warns about the dark world. Saying how people could fall in and get hurt. (But now I’m forced to question why he’s been opening up fountains if he’s that worried. He wants this chaos, to destroy the world, so what would be the point of “reporting a dark world” to the cops? Unless he’s screwing around and messing with people, knowing they won’t take him seriously. That’s probably it).
(I realize now I accidentally made the same spiel on another comment in this comment section and even I was like, “Shit, I’m repeating myself aren’t I (to anyone who saw that, thanks to whoever (hopefully) deleted it and I’m sorry and I’m embarrassed🍪🍪🍪 Here Are three apology cookies).

I love how Noelle is slowly noticing that the voice telling her what to do is not Kris's voice
God, the quality of this animation is phenomenal!! The details added like the flashback and Noelle bleeding from the thorn ring, the atmosphere and facial expressions, the smoothness, the quick frame of Noelle looking at Berdly's figure in the ice. Props to you and your team! Ya'll should be extremely proud of yourselves, you deserve it! We thank you once again for you hard and impressive work!!
I’m late but I noticed Noelle would always look at Kris after every order, and Kris’ mouth would always be closed or their teeth clenched (most likely not liking whatever the player is making both of them do) but she does it anyway
We already know it’s the player saying these things but it just an extra detail
You ever think the “I’m protecting her from you!” that he couldn’t say, at this point, was directed *at someone else?*
Oh shit...it's very possible that Kris was trying to say that to US, the ones forcing them to do these horrible things.
totally directed to the player
cuz otherwise it would sound like kris is trying to protect noelle from berdley which makes no sense.
But you actually can choose the option. That leads to abortion of the Snowgrave Route with Noelle saying "Of course, what was I thinking?"
@@Z0Z33KY no, it does mean kris would be protecting noelle from berdly
"I'm protecting *her* (female, Noelle) from *you!* (male, Berdly)
The fact that saying this aborts the run pretty much seals it for me holy shit
I love how Kris' expressions are in juxtaposition with the player's actions. It really shows how they AREN'T in control of what the player does.
kris looking distressed at noelle us pretty terrifying since he's aware of the player but not it's actions entirely (from what i know of)
Exceptional sound design, especially around the sound effect of Kris drawing their sword and the switch of soundtracks.
When it pauses on Noelle with her white eyes for an almost uncomfortably long time thats what did it for me! This animation is amazing at driving in the horror aspect. Especially when she tries to look at berdly but quickly looks away, such a nice small detail that really shows how horrific the thing she did was, and how horrible this ordeal was for all parties involved. Definitely a favourite!
This is incredible. It captures the horror of this scene very well.
Kris's expressions especially make my heart hurt. They didn't want to take a part in any of this. And they have to watch as you force their childhood friend into killing someone that she cares about.
The game also hints at Berdly being somewhat of a friend or rival of Kris, since they play games together and compete a lot.
@@motivated2473 they are like, "those boys who always complain about each other but still acting like friends no matter what the situation is"
I really like that this route is sort of like a play on the classic rpg trope of "party member whose only use is casting a really op spell", like how genocide in undertale is based on XP grinding
Something worth talking about in this and the game is Berdly as a character. In normal and in pacifist he's this egotistical rival that can be a bit annoying at times but once the snowgrave route occurs he throws that egotism out the window in a heartbeat when he realizes what's going on. He isn't selfish at the heart and he definitely cares about others like Noelle seen in the video and even in the game. Something truly gut wrenching to see is by the time we realize that he isn't as bad of a guy as you thought he'd be it's too late. The fight has started and there's no way around it other than getting through him. He doesn't even scream or beg for mercy but rather give this concerned look on his face knowing that his dear friend is becoming a greater threat. I hope whenever we get more chapters we get too see more of this complex like character even in the neutral and pacifist route to give him a wonderful character arc.
Wow I can't believe someone made a fully animated version, with THIS quality in such a short amount of time. You captured everything perfectly, kris's reaction to OUR messed up actions and Berdly's expressions are great.
Really good job I loved it.
