The SOUL

Item from Deltarune by Toby Fox

The red heart in Kris's chest — the player's control interface, the game's central symbol, and the thing Kris rips out of themselves every time nobody's watching.

Also known as: The SOUL, Red SOUL, The Heart

What They Know

• The red SOUL in Kris's chest is the player's control mechanism — not Kris's own soul
• Kris tears it out at the end of every chapter and acts independently while it's removed
• In combat, the SOUL is the red heart the player controls to dodge attacks — this is both gameplay and metaphor
• The game asks whether the SOUL (the player) is helping Kris or imprisoning them — no answer is given
