So… I beat both routes today and… how about a dedicated thread to talk about the Chapter 5 weird route?
Obviously spoilers ahead.
Personally, I think this is the most intense out of left field thing Toby has ever made. The fact we skip an entire chapter… that’s insane. And the drowning(?) Like… are they dead or… maybe they stumbled into a dark fountain? I also believe Noelle could be the angel now. I never really subscribed to any theory on who it was before, but after hearing Noelle mention growing wings and flying away, that’s what got me to believe. At bare minimum for the weird route.
Drop theories, discuss your thoughts, etc, on the weird route, especially after chapter 5. I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts and theories.

What I found most terrifying is that if you don’t force Noelle deeper into the lake she keeps repeating “Nothing changed” while having a romantic date with Susie (!). Clearly, she just had the best day of her life, but it somehow feels fake to her, like it’s all just part of the script. It seems to me that she gained a meta-level awareness similar to Ralsei. This makes me think that the Chapter 7 Weird Route will be about Noelle breaking the game (Gaster’s DEVICE) using glitches and save file shenanigans, possibly with help from the “song, singing from the deep” that can be heard at the bottom of the lake.
