i am scraping together thoughts for a post. is it just me or does Hometown in deltarune seem like. weirdly sinister? or not sinister just... creepy? not the normal npc, not onion san or the librarby, literally the town itself and everyone in it, possessing of a vague sense of... wrongness? like *something's* not right here but i cannot tell what it is?
or, am i hallucinating that? let me know your thoughts. i am trying to build a thesis about asgore and trying to figure out why the game keeps positioning him as sort of *threatening*, like the town is afraid of him, not just that he's an embarrassing social pariah.
to me hometown feels very twin peaks/lake mungo, but i can't quite put my finger on why and if i'm just hallucinating it or not.
