Im pretty sure he has talked about this in a blog post before, he got it to work, but didnt implement it cuz it felt "virus-ie" and was unsettling to game stores like Steam

[Ralseify]

If this was actually the ending, it'd be more than a "lost ending". More like a lost game

[BlazingWings]

Toby trying so many combinations to get the code to work reminds me of papyrus dialing every number sequentially until he got yours

[Redturtletank]

The game grew too powerful that not even Toby fox himself could delete it

[cking]

I love the story that code can sometimes tell, because you already see the finished project and know how it all turns out, but the majority of the story you find is just pure frustration

[amortz]

You can just FEEL the rage in those coding

[NinjaGaming-soch]

Imagine buying undertale and playing the genocide ending first with this ending activated

[colephelps]

Funny enough is doki doki literature club manage to do this, it literally uninstall itself when you finish

[EldurThePaladin]

Imagine him being like: “YES IT WORKED!!! … And, I forgot to save a backup… Well shit… BACK TO SQUARE ONE” 😂

“I just dialed every number sequentially until I got yours” -papayas

See a windows executable can't delete itself because the file is open while it's running. One way to get around this is to write a batch file (.bat) that waits for the .exe to close, then deletes it, then deletes itself. (Though Steam would probably interpret this as damage and helpfully fix it). Its also odd because windows filenames aren't case sensitive.

[funnybones]

If Toby managed the to code the game to delete itself after Genocide, It would've turned into a creepypasta.

I think Undertale's meta aspects really help it drive its point home; doing something like this would put it in Imscared territory, which is a good thing

[TheMegaxPlus]

Likely Toby didn't realize that you can't delete a running program as there are fail-safes for it. You need to use a different program *apart* from the actual game that receives the "kill" signal and deletes the game, like an uninstaller.

[lennyfacebutnotreally]

it may be a thing of the game engine, that doesn't let you delete the game because... reasons

[Freewill_Moder]

It would get treated like malware since it would actually be deleting files off of your computer without your consent. It’s like with what they did in Inscryption.

[-dpegasus]

As a software developer, that desperate use of capitalization combinations to get it to work speaks to me my soul

[weebjeez]

It also makes sense for Chara, trying to destroy the world, even though they tried every way they could.

So, instead, when we start the game, Chara keeps us from going to the Title Screen unless we take their deal.

They never deleted the world. They couldn't, from inside it.

[tntthekill]

Imagine if it worked and people with slow internet would just be left there to suffer

I love how this technically isn't even a "scrapped" or "lost" ending, it's IN the game it just doesn’t work 💀
