Debug mode

Edit the following bytes in data.win.

• 3E8144 and 3E8138: Set to 01. Enables debug mode.
• 3E8568: Set to 00. Disables the 'dogcheck', allowing you to enter rooms above 130 via save file editing.

Enabling debug mode will show a few additional things during the game:

• The frames per second will be printed in the top left, in red.
• Areas with enemies will have a red and cyan box to the upper-left and lower-right of your character.
• Possibly others.

Additional hotkeys are available as well, some of which are reused from the previous game.

• O: Sets the FPS cap to 3.
• P: Sets the FPS cap to 60.
• Z and other "action" buttons: Displays a small rectangle in front of you for one frame, indicating the 'interaction' hitbox.
• R: Restarts the game. No need to press it 7 times.
• S: Opens the save dialog anywhere. Using it will usually unlock your movement, if it was locked by a script.
• L: Immediately reloads your save.
• W: When held down, pushing 1 through 6 will teleport you to various rooms near the end of the game.
• Ins: Moves you to the previous room by internal order.
• Del: Moves you to the next room.

  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_3_0": "Hello...? Anyone...?",

  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_5_0": "Someone!? Anyone!? Can anyone hear me!?",
  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_6_0": "...",
  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_7_0": "It's dark.",
  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_8_0": "It's so dark here.",
  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_9_0": "Someone, anyone, if you can hear me...",
  "UNUSED_slash_UNUSED_gml_10_0": "Say something... please...",

Unused graphics

An early sketch of the beach area room_beach exists, in the same style as the Lab and Undyne's Room sketches from the previous game.

Unused rooms

Room 3, room_torroom, is an empty (all-black) room. Assumedly it would be Toriel's room in her house, but the door is locked.

Room 11, room_town_apartments, is an empty black room as well, though larger than room_torroom. It may have been for the apartments in the town, which cannot be entered.
