What do you think the percentage of people who got no idea the weird route is a thing is?
Like, in undertale genocide didn't matter. It was kind of a creepypasta joke/ extra challenge for those who wanted it kind of thing that was also telegraphed pretty well.
In deltarune, the weird route is WAY more intertwined in what's shaping up as the actual story and it's also super missable/ difficult.
Tenna thighs to grab your attention.
