#the 'voice' also makes a lot of allusions to gaster

Mystery of the Eyes

AKA What's up with this reoccurring image, of two eyes, one yellow and one pink?

This face appears as an easter egg in the background of the Basement during the Spamton sidequest - notice it in the dark, in the lower left corner, before the teacup elevator activates.

A similar image reappears in the Spamton Sweepstakes, in this page. If the chair image is saved, or occasionally clicked too many times, the second image of 'Eyes' is seen - similar but different to the first image.

An interesting, but not too important detail, is that the tab header for these 'Eyes' asks: "What if it could get... Darker than Dark?"

It's possible that these images are in reference to Spamton...

But it doesn't seem likely.

This type of 'projection' isn't an ability Spamton has - if he could 'project' his eyes and follow Kris like that, Kris wouldn't need to get the Empty Disk from the basement, which Spamton uses to accompany Kris. This image appears to activate the Teacups, before Kris ever gets the Disk.

There aren't a lot of other characters that could fit the bill for this 'Pink & Yellow Eyes Face'.

Especially because this 'face' seems to be present in all sorts of ways - it was included in cut content.

And this face probably has some connection to Gaster and the introduction - the asset name for the image is 'DEVICE_FRIEND' - fitting the naming scheme for the introduction assets.

Y'know, this place:

Where we create a vessel,

Which gets interrupted by...

This voice.

It's been theorized before that this voice is 'Chara', due to similar ways of speaking, though this theory runs into the bigger question of 'What's Chara doing in Deltarune?', which runs into all sorts of issues.

More likely is that this 'voice' is its own character withing this world - an interrupting force in Deltarune's status quo - someone we haven't met yet -

We are left with a huge mystery regarding who or what this voice even is - 'Chara' or Gaster or some other mysterious force. What we DO know is that this force is related to the meta plot of Deltarune - it acts upon the space between 'Us' and the 'Light World'.

There is a high likelihood this force is the same as 'DEVICE_FRIEND' - someone else closely tied to Gaster and the meta plot.

There is another interesting piece of text to analyze regarding this 'voice' - at the end of the Spamton Sweepstakes, on the blurb for 'Spamton's Fate', it says this:

It is HIGHLY likely the speaker for this blurb is the same as the interrupter during the introduction sequence - these two sequences have a number of similarities: a solemn attitude, a malicious undertone, a tendency to philosophize in the middle of speech...

The most obvious detail about the speaker of this blurb is their open envy of Spamton:

"Why should he be so special?", "He wasn't any better than any of us.", "Don't you think it's about time someone else got the spotlight!?"

As if it was a competition, and Spamton's 'Sweepstakes' (& existence) was the sudden reveal at the end - after the Speaker already put in their share amount into 'winning'.

(...Mayhaps the Speaker doesn't enjoy someone with a similar fashion sense getting so much attention...)

And the speaker compares themselves directly to Spamton - "After all, are we really any better...?"

As if the speaker shares some qualities with Spamton... It's not a happy comparison they make.

Here's an interesting tidbit regarding Spamton - he was deliberately erased from public consciousness by Queen.

Ensuring that the average citizen would not encounter or hear about him.

Other interesting detail:

And he was obsessed with a 'machine' for a bit... said machine has roots from places 'more heavenly' than the Dark World.

(What was the purpose of Gaster's Inventions anyways? There's the CORE and the machine he fell into...)

Seems our Mystery Character's encounter with Gaster didn't end up going well...
