Yes, the bedroom's design is such an interesting piece of visual storytelling! It's slightly heartbreaking that Kris's room in Castle Town has a bunch of awards over the bed. I love it when Susie goes 'wtf why does your brother get all the awards' and gives Kris the Susie Award for having her over.
It's also interesting that the narration specifies the game console in their room has 'one normal controller, and one knock-off one', and, when Kris looks at the photo of them and Asriel playing games when they were younger, they note that Asriel is using the knock-off controller. Coupled with the bedroom, I'm inclined to interpret that as 'Kris is the less favoured child and is conscious of that, but Asriel used the knock-off controller to make Kris feel better'.
Oh, yes, I'd forgotten that the photos of humans in the 'how to care for humans' book seemed to bother Kris! That's a fascinating detail. I want to know so much more about this kid.
I'm so glad you enjoy my inability to stop talking about this game!
