These are special messages in the strings designed for Dataminers’ eyes only. Each patch has slightly different demon strings, and it can get confusing.

This guide should make understanding this text a little simpler.

VERSION 1.00

This has only one set of “demon text“ - a message from Toby Fox to dataminers, telling them not to spoil the game.

Demonx/y/z/r



Location in strings textdump: the very top

Part of this game's charm is the mystery of how many options or secrets there are. If you are reading this, please don't post this message or this information anywhere. Or doing secrets will become pointless.

demonx

By the way, most of the seemingly unused text/files are used.

demony

If you can find the in-game context for an asset, you can show it off. But if you can't, it probably means you haven't looked hard enough. Anything truly unused I'll probably post myself, later.

demonz

Living in a world like this, where people can simply cheat out the answers from the code... your impatience has REALLY damaged you, hasn't it?

VERSION 1.001

This version has two sets of “demon text“: one new, and one a vestigal remnant of the original.

VERSION 1.05A



A strange patch, coming out shortly after the original 1.05. It contained no differences in the game’s text or function whatsoever, other than a new version number…and a change to one of the “demon text“ variables.
