THE DEPTHS THEORY: Solving Deltarune Through Escapism

#deltarune In this video, I attempt to uncover the nature of the Roaring Knight, the importance of W.D. Gaster and DEVICE_FRIEND through the core theme of ESCAPISM, analyzing characters and plot along the way. Hopefully you enjoy! NOTE: I use the word 'diegetic' incorrectly in this video, it means basically the exact opposite of what I thought it did, so just internally correct it to 'non-diegetic', sorry for the mistake.
