However, if one digs deeper, one finds that Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale and Deltarune, has a lot to say about existentialist philosophy. It's not always obvious, but by analyzing certain characters in his games, we can discover just what Toby Fox thinks about the problem of nihilism, and the solutions heretofore proposed by philosophers. We'll also see, in the video, what Toby himself proposes as a solution to the problem of the meaninglessness of modern life. --- 10% of Moon Channel's Gross Revenue goes to charity: including our sponsorship income!
