Entry 17 dark darker yet darker quote10/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Players have uncovered a secret sound test room that includes a track called “Gaster’s theme.” It sounds like the music that would play in a slasher flick the first time you get a good look at the villain’s gnarled, sickly features. This has led players to speculate that Gaster’s very being was spread - like a painfully small dollop of butter on toast - across space and time in infinitesimally small quantities. After all, it’s rude to talk about someone who’s listening.” One day, his experiments went wrong and… well, I needn’t gossip. “I understand why Asgore waited so long to hire a new Royal Scientist. One of the grey NPCs tells the story like this: It’s super meta, but not in, like, a cloying way.) In the process, apparently Gaster created a legendary invention, The Core, only to fall into “his creation” and die.Įxcept maybe he’s not dead at all. It makes sense he’d be studying those forces, given that the story of Undertale came about due to characters - the player included - with time-warping abilities called “save” and “load.” (Yes, that’s actually part of Undertale‘s plot. Nobody’s entirely sure who Gaster is, but dialogue from a handful of creepy grey NPCs you can only encounter by plucking their areas of the game - or “rooms” - from the game’s code seems to suggest that he was some kind of skeleton scientist conducting experiments involving space and time. Players have found what they think to be hints at his existence in-game - most notoriously from the hooded figure who captains Undertale‘s fast travel boat and also in skeleton character Sans’ weapon, the Gasterblaster, when you fight him in a so-called “genocide run” of the game - but they have mostly unearthed information about Gaster by datamining the game’s code. If you play Undertale normally, you won’t encounter any direct references to Gaster. Players have had to dig through countless game files and arrange volumes of evidence in an attempt to answer one final question: Who is W.D. This is a mystery that sure seems like it doesn’t want to be solved - at least, not conclusively. I addressed Undertale‘s last big mystery a bit in my piece on the unique ways the game weaves its web of secrets, but things have gotten a lot more complicated since then. ![]()
