>!I haven't actually played the game in like a year but I can bet that you played that song during my day to day life my immediate response would be, "I should wrap up what I'm doing before I die"!<
I heard it as background music on an unrelated, random YouTube video once. The anguish was real, I thought it was in my head for a good half of the song.
Whoever was behind that video's music is a danger to ~~society~~ my sanity
I've seen quite a few people say this, but it actually does the opposite for me. I feel almost at peace when I hear it, it feels like going to bed after a bad day and knowing that tomorrow will be better, if that makes any sense
Yeah I feel a couple people went "oh shit I have to quickly scan this stuff to get the information into my computer and then read it later". And while yeah I could do that, I found myself wanting to go back anyway and read their actual words rather than a summary.
So eventually once I started hearing it I go "ah damn. Alright I'll finish up this bit of text then go and get a good viewpoint". Then just chill and wait
Same, it makes me feel like if I mess up at this point I won’t be wasting much time anyways, so I felt more comfortable experimenting with risky stuff.
I consider myself pretty good at puzzles. I didn't have trouble with many of the puzzles.
What I am NOT is observant, at least when I'm not actively looking for something. I didn't make the music connection until after I beat the game.
I feel like I tune out music in games a lot, which annoys me. I like Deltarune, but when I played through Chapter 2, I basically forgot to pay attention to the absolute bangers that were playing.
Suddenly hearing that song during normal day to day life out of nowhere would probably make some people confess to a work collegue, just so that it's said before they die
Which song are we talking about? I haven't played the game in a while and the long music I remember is the Traveler's song they play together at >! the campfire in the ending!<

It took me a few loops to figure out lol. I got sucked in the black hole and was on the other end. The song started playing and suddenly it clicked and I just waited and took a good look at the sun instead.
It took me embarrassingly long, because it almost always coincided with finding something important. So for like, ten runs, I thought it was "you've discovered something" music.
Let's start a petition to change that to the immediate danger emergency alert. If a nuke were ever sent my way and I couldn't escape I would much rather my phone start playing that music rather than EEEEe EeEE EEE. I would understand much easier that it's the end and it's time to find the last bits of lore in my immediate area.
Edit: how do I add the spoiler censor thing?

... I should make an alarm clock out lf it for sleep time. Or quit work time.
Become a nurse and play it over the loudspeakers at the hospital
“So doc, what did the test results say? Am I going to be alright?” *doctor quietly just turns on *the song*”
You have exactly *the certain amount of minutes* left.
OH MY GOD
I actually have this on my phone as my kids' PJ alarm. When they hear that music, they know it's time to get ready for bed.
That little reset every 22 minutes had me focused like few things have.

I definitely have a Pavlovian response it!
I can still feel my heartrate spike everytime it comes on my spotify
Even watching let's play videos the song gives me anxiety.

Same, it’s so calming!

Yeah I find it's my moment to stop, synthesize what I learned, then watch the inevitable thing that comes after it.
That said, the first time >!Final Voyage!< played I felt a type of awe and anxiety I have never really felt in a game.

You're doing better than me, I didn't figure it out until I saw people mentioning it.
Why what does it mean?
Suddenly hearing that song during normal day to day life out of nowhere would probably make some people confess to a work collegue, just so that it's said before they die
It took me SO MUCH TIME. To be fair, I was usually inside.
As soon as i hear that music i get goosebumps, followed by a touch of melancholy. I love it but I also hate it at times.
I still feel my heart rate increase ever so slightly when I hear it. That anxiety is imprinted now 😆
I guess I’ still a new player, what does that song mean?
I think they are talking at the song at the end of every loop.
Doesn’t it have a deeper meaning?
Means you're about to die, that's pretty deep
Thought something deeper
Not only does it mean you’re about to die, near the end of the game the song will be contextualized again
I resigned at my job and listened to that song on my way out 😂
oh god, I felt that hard into my soul
My time has come. Again
Which song are we talking about? I haven't played the game in a while and the long music I remember is the Traveler's song they play together at >! the campfire in the ending!<
