The 'Snowgrave Route,' also known as the 'Weird Route,' originates from Chapter 2 of Toby Fox's RPG Deltarune, released in 2021. It describes a hidden, darker path where the player forces the character Kris to manipulate Noelle Holiday into freezing enemies, culminating in the fatal 'Snowgrave' spell used against the character Berdly. The meme typically utilizes the word 'PROCEED' or the chilling dialogue exchanged between the characters to highlight moments of intense peer pressure, gaslighting, or unintended consequences in gaming and real-life scenarios. Its popularity stems from the stark contrast between the game's usual whimsical tone and the disturbingly dark nature of this specific storyline.
