Something I want to point out, regardless of plot relevance, is the remarkable similarity this has to one of Noelle's stories from the Sweepstakes. Supposedly, if you sequence-broke to get to the ice palace in Dragon Blazers without a certain party member, you'd be stuck in a maze forever. However, Noelle somehow has the ability to find a mysterious grey door in the maze if she gets into the right state of mind. This, too, is an endless maze that the player accessed by sequence breaking, and the player was able to find a strange door leading them to probably Gaster with Noelle in the party.

Correction!! The sound that plays when Kris and Noelle walk out of bounds is the sound that plays when you ABORT a Weird Route. Which is very very weird to me. How come walking through a wall into a backrooms space makes things go as they should?

Why do they even think of the threat value? They walked through the maze school with such confidence, like they knew where to go. They seem to be frustrated/confused at a couple dead ends. I'd love to know where winds got this info.
i find it very noteworthy that when the player first steps out of bounds, a weird route jingle plays, especially since they enter a maze that seems to parallel the dragon blazers maze noelle mentioned in the spamton sweepstakes....also the water fountain for tall people bit is really funny
amazing idea. the entire concept of the school being the breeding ground for “threat” or “fun” events in general is very plausible. the darkness has obviously already begun to infect the school, and the computer lab of the library, mostly thus far getting to the students, so the school would be a very possible place for events like these to occur. i think too that due to us having little knowledge on the true nature of the darkness in deltarune, it makes things more interesting to theorize and create content for. this is really interesting, keep it up 😮

Considering the AshVeil Lane trout population joke and the extremely liminal, winding halls of the school, it's safe to say that this is a House of Leaves reference. I wonder what significance does that cursed tome have to do with this Deltarune ARG? 🤔🤔🤔
In books, we always knew another chapter was a few pages away, or if the book was getting thin, we were almost finished. Now I wonder if I'm reading too deep.
“Reset your save to the very beginning, then find her.” Ok, so winds needs to either A: Talk to Susie (or do… something with her. May have something to do with the cliffs alternate route.) at the start of chapter 1 or B: Reset their UNDERTALE save and somehow find Susie there

3:07 WEIRD ROUTE JINGLE. THE ONE THAT PLAYS WHEN YOU PROGRESS ON THE ROUTE WHAT. anyway like others mentioned this feels like the maze in dragon blazers noelle talked about. and if this player does like [REDACTED] says then next episode will start at the beginning of either this chapter or chapter 1 (or it won´t who knows) but when they said to "find her" does it mean susie like noelle thought or our deer december? either way she will be happy probably
It also played in an earlier video when forced to take an alternate path in the start of chapter 1's closet dark world. Seems here, it might be used to indicate a successful boundary break/that you're on the path to finding a goner, perhaps.
I wonder if this is linked to another ARG from a youtube account called "Cursed Speedrunning with Steve" or something like that, it's called lonely hometown.
idk if this is related but some random channel just commented and its name is FRIEND. All its uploaded so far is something called EMPTY_WELCOME_TO_THE_CITY.MP3 and it plays an OFF song at the end. (ion know if its one of those arg highjackers that try to confuse everyone but there u go)

The scene where kris and Noelle get trapped in a repeating part of the school is similar to Noelles blog post about the Ice maze This is a certified 💀 moment -the ceo of 💀
Okay, I haven’t watched the full thing yet, but personal note:: I wonder what the relevance of 3:09 is? Isn’t that the sound effect that plays when a route is solidified (like snowgrave specifically)? Also, why does Noelle slightly slow down and stray behind in the darkness, only to catch up in the school hall? So well made once again
i personally think that this is a reference to noelle’s blog where she talks about an unbeatable maze that she somehow overcame in dragon blazers (i think)
i tried my best to translate the wingdings at the end but here *FINALLY. YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT LAST. *I WAS SO SCARED I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND ETERNITY HERE. ALL BY MYSELF. *SINCE WE LAST MET.

THEN FIND HER. spooky stuffs... apparently in the next installation of the series maybe we will go back to the secret path in the "short clip" video and find dess and stuff
There's a TH-cam channel called cursed speed running with Steve with its own deltarune ARG.... And this setup is almost exactly the same as it's... But i doubt the two channels are related just a fun coincidence
Can someone explain how have it gotten to that? why is Noel with Kris? what other things does threat level do? how did you know where to walk in the maze? sorry I am not too deep in the lore and very confused
Wait.. so is this channel related to the Lonely Hometown series that just appeared then? The plot of that seems directly related to this, as it has only Kris and Noelle left in hometown with everybody else seemingly having vanished. Something weird is going on in the Deltatune community...
Ehh, I doubt it. Just a weird coincidence that two different people had the same idea in their heads that they made into reality. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@LemonLover110 But this video doesn't even connect to anything else from Staggering Winds, it's an entirely distinct plotline from anything else, and it seemingly just... ignores... the previous context of how Noelle started following Kris around town in the first place. For the plots to line up so much while this one includes no context to the setup? That'd be the coincidence of the century.
Something I want to point out, regardless of plot relevance, is the remarkable similarity this has to one of Noelle's stories from the Sweepstakes. Supposedly, if you sequence-broke to get to the ice palace in Dragon Blazers without a certain party member, you'd be stuck in a maze forever.

super fun translating this, i genuinely got chills on this line "YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHO I AM, BUT THOSE WHO OBSERVE US DO."
@@Erognif I gotta speedrun! I saw a couple other comments with partially finished translations when I went to post this, but I couldn't find one with a full translation so I wanted to post it.
noelle you're such an icon i hope youre okay and all
Could this be a reference to the ice palace where you can navigate yourself to a door after enough tries in a maze but can only open it with a certain character in the party?
You're Gonna See, Its Our Destiny
hey, this one was a lot less painful! shoutouts to the ash veil lane ref with the trout population! i won't bother with translating the wingdings right now, i'll wait for someone else to do it
(the person speaking in wingdings is, of course, redacted from undertale)
translations:

(then, noelle interjects (this is not a translation!))
// Noelle: "K... Kris!? Where on Earth did you bring us?!" "What even is all this? How are we supposed to understand them?"
(ok back to translations)

the trout population is in shambles rn
You could say... Some strange things are happening...
wait what... i could of shworn the previous parts of this were part of a DIFFRENT deltarune letsplay... i might be going crazy
on god i know exactly what youre talking about. is it connected?????
This series is genuinely the most captivating thing to come out of the fandom in a WHILE. I really hope you continue this.
Why do they even think of the threat value?
They walked through the maze school with such confidence, like they knew where to go. They seem to be frustrated/confused at a couple dead ends. I'd love to know where winds got this info.
THE TROUT POPULATION HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED
what i just saw feels like a fever dream and i love it
i find it very noteworthy that when the player first steps out of bounds, a weird route jingle plays, especially since they enter a maze that seems to parallel the dragon blazers maze noelle mentioned in the spamton sweepstakes....also the water fountain for tall people bit is really funny
The Trout Population is Here.
We got lost again
more people have commented about the trout population joke than the fact that NOELLE DOESNT FOLLOW YOU IN THE CH2 OVERWORLD NORMALLY
amazing idea. the entire concept of the school being the breeding ground for “threat” or “fun” events in general is very plausible. the darkness has obviously already begun to infect the school, and the computer lab of the library, mostly thus far getting to the students, so the school would be a very possible place for events like these to occur. i think too that due to us having little knowledge on the true nature of the darkness in deltarune, it makes things more interesting to theorize and create content for. this is really interesting, keep it up 😮

okay so very clearly there's something odd about the number of interactions on the corkboard, water fountain, and locked closet door in the second session, the water fountain especially. Ain't nobody need to know 6 times that the water is lukewarm.
I think the fountain has different flavor text when interacted with multiple times, so it might be showing that something is off but I dunno
@@GEGGARCHYusually it goes from lukewarm to refreshingly cool - the fact that it doesn’t is odd. another commenter mentioned it could imply time is frozen

from what we've seen only kris can see that thing but now it puts into a new perspective. Maybe the previous thing dislikes to be seen by others besides Kris and this one is willing to be seen by others. From what I see they use the same sprite for one so i believe this ones different

was expecting ao oni to break down a wall and start a chase sequence
What almost 3 years without chapters does to the trout population…
Trout population mentioned
Oh wait, is the ice palace? Like, a spell which makes endless repeating halls, ypu go every direction and then UP, and find a grey door
Chat, WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE TROUT POPULATION RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE NOT SAFE IN HOMETOWN
I'm getting nostalgic for older versions of RickyG's DONTFORGET 💖
we got backrooms in deltarune💯
Sounds like someone noclipped out of reality in the wrong area
i can't wait for yet another friend to be inside of me
THE TROUT POPULATION !!!!!! ITS IN DANGER
Considering the AshVeil Lane trout population joke and the extremely liminal, winding halls of the school, it's safe to say that this is a House of Leaves reference.
I wonder what significance does that cursed tome have to do with this Deltarune ARG? 🤔🤔🤔
Eeeeyikes!! These "Staggering Winds" are gonna make all these trout "Goners!"
*FRIEND INSIDE YOU.*
the back runes
Aw hell naw Kris noclipped into backrooms again
is that Nelle Pikmin 4
damn looks like the police aren’t doing well, and neither is the trout population!!
In books, we always knew another chapter was a few pages away, or if the book was getting thin, we were almost finished.
Now I wonder if I'm reading too deep.
In what way would this possibly alter the course of history for the trout lineage
wait i just noticed... "staggering winds" is an anagram for "wingdings gaster" lmao what a coincidence
“Reset your save to the very beginning, then find her.” Ok, so winds needs to either
A: Talk to Susie (or do… something with her. May have something to do with the cliffs alternate route.) at the start of chapter 1 or
B: Reset their UNDERTALE save and somehow find Susie there
I'll be honest I got my ARGs mixed up so at first I thought this was the Lonely Town ARG with solo Noelle and all. oops
For those who don’t want to translate wingdings… here is what REDACTED states from 7:12 - 8:01
FINALLY.

Alternative title: Kris and Noelle in the backrooms
(slowly floating like a Cloud of void and errors) mmmm... quiet...
3:07 WEIRD ROUTE JINGLE. THE ONE THAT PLAYS WHEN YOU PROGRESS ON THE ROUTE WHAT.
anyway like others mentioned this feels like the maze in dragon blazers noelle talked about. and if this player does like [REDACTED] says then next episode will start at the beginning of either this chapter or chapter 1 (or it won´t who knows) but when they said to "find her" does it mean susie like noelle thought or our deer december? either way she will be happy probably
It also played in an earlier video when forced to take an alternate path in the start of chapter 1's closet dark world. Seems here, it might be used to indicate a successful boundary break/that you're on the path to finding a goner, perhaps.
@@xanam4913 OOHHHH yeah... gonna have to look out for when it plays again to know the pattern
Kinda looks like the BACKROOMS.
I wonder if this is linked to another ARG from a youtube account called "Cursed Speedrunning with Steve" or something like that, it's called lonely hometown.
i'm also curious about this
@@cursedspeedrunningwithstev1804 🟡
It's incredibly similar in concept. With Hometown missing and Noelle being with you.
idk if this is related but some random channel just commented and its name is FRIEND. All its uploaded so far is something called EMPTY_WELCOME_TO_THE_CITY.MP3 and it plays an OFF song at the end. (ion know if its one of those arg highjackers that try to confuse everyone but there u go)
Doubt it.
i swear to god i watched an arg like this a few days ago from a different channel
which one?
which one?
@@alexis_electronic found it (th-cam.com/video/MphC32fG1Ug/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_8ej0W5f1OX3JTvi)

Others already finished the translation so im done updating, it was fun while it lasted
"threat value" huh
The scene where kris and Noelle get trapped in a repeating part of the school is similar to Noelles blog post about the Ice maze
This is a certified 💀 moment
-the ceo of 💀
Okay, I haven’t watched the full thing yet, but personal note:: I wonder what the relevance of 3:09 is? Isn’t that the sound effect that plays when a route is solidified (like snowgrave specifically)? Also, why does Noelle slightly slow down and stray behind in the darkness, only to catch up in the school hall? So well made once again
She stagger on my winds till the friend is inside me
i personally think that this is a reference to noelle’s blog where she talks about an unbeatable maze that she somehow overcame in dragon blazers (i think)
i tried my best to translate the wingdings at the end but here

spooky stuffs... apparently in the next installation of the series maybe we will go back to the secret path in the "short clip" video and find dess and stuff
There's a TH-cam channel called cursed speed running with Steve with its own deltarune ARG.... And this setup is almost exactly the same as it's...
But i doubt the two channels are related just a fun coincidence
Deltarune chapter 2: The Stanley Parable
Can someone explain how have it gotten to that? why is Noel with Kris? what other things does threat level do? how did you know where to walk in the maze? sorry I am not too deep in the lore and very confused
"kris where the heck are we?"
"backrooms"
The Trout population is pleased by the reference.
Wait.. so is this channel related to the Lonely Hometown series that just appeared then? The plot of that seems directly related to this, as it has only Kris and Noelle left in hometown with everybody else seemingly having vanished. Something weird is going on in the Deltatune community...
Ehh, I doubt it. Just a weird coincidence that two different people had the same idea in their heads that they made into reality. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@LemonLover110 But this video doesn't even connect to anything else from Staggering Winds, it's an entirely distinct plotline from anything else, and it seemingly just... ignores... the previous context of how Noelle started following Kris around town in the first place. For the plots to line up so much while this one includes no context to the setup? That'd be the coincidence of the century.
is this lonly hometown?
edit: it is.
this video refrenced a similar deltarune arg, "lonly hometown" on channal "cursed speedrunning with Steve".
