DELTARUNE and the Fourth Wall || THE DEVICE THEORY [PART 1: SURVEY_PROGRAM]

a simple theory video about DELTARUNE, turned into an existential disaster of an analysis. join me as i seek to answer how DELTARUNE may be using the fourth wall to further its message and themes, through examining how UNDERTALE did it, applying it to both demos of DELTARUNE so far and exploring the many secrets, easter eggs, and oddities contained within, as well as making my best attempt at a character analysis of The Man HIMself Gaster along the way. i promise you, there's a solid theory in here somewhere...
