      @@BoogsNStuff I know that. But in that ending he said exactly what someone who is trying to mislead you and throw you off of your path would say. That's what you do - joke and paint the whole situation as completely nonsensical, in hopes that people will back down. But only someone who has a thing or two to hide would do something like that.
      After all, what do we know about the narrator himself? Despite him having hours and hours of recorded audio - not much at all. Who's to say that in my version of the game, the narrator does not exist as a person, but a bunch of pre-recorded audio tapes that change depending on the context?

    The fire alarm going off is actually slightly terrifying, common smoke detectors work via emission of alpha particles from a radioactive material, and the introduction of smoke blocks this radiation, causing the alarm to go off. The horrifying reality of what’s happening here is that it’s been so long that the radioactive material inside the alarm has presumably entirely decayed, which would occur over many hundreds of years, causing the alarm to go off instead, not because smoke is blocking the radioactive particles, but because there’s simply nothing left.

    The narrator probably spent million of years in complete isolation
    It reminds me of these arguments about immortality people sometimes have
    By living for so long you end up forgetting all about who you were. You even end up forgetting how to think, little by little. The last two speeches from the narrator are probably just spasms from his mind
    And eventually he just stops thinking. Still here, still alive, but not thinking, not doing anything, not even making any sense of what he can perceive if that's still something he can still do
    This is honestly way scarier than just an eventual nothingness after you die

I’ll honestly admit that this ending had me tearing up; I think the only reason I didn’t actually start crying was because I was just so shocked the whole time. I played it alone in a dark room at 2am, which doesn’t help, and I nearly couldn’t sleep after… The repeating of “the end is never the end is never-“ WAS SO DAMN SCARY, that was the only time I didn’t hesitate to press the button. All the other times I waited for a long time. It broke my heart to press it every time. But I could NOT listen to the repeating at the end for more than a couple seconds. I was thinking about the exact same thing you said, that the Narrator seemed so real, so human in this ending? I could hardly believe it, it was just so chilling. I know he shows so much emotion in the Zending and Confusion Ending, but not like this. My empathy just shot through the roof on this one.

    I really find this part both unnerving and also incredibly interesting. it starts with you being frozen for only moments, then escalates to days, then weeks, then months, then years, and then decades, then centuries, then thousands of years, then ultimately millions of years into the future. in only the course of a few years the narrator goes insane and then ultimately stops thinking entirely, trapped in a endless mantra before going forever silent. when the roof collapses and then eventually flora starts growing inside of the room it really helps convey the fact that you have been frozen for potentially thousands of years, enough time for the climate around the room to change from the temperate slightly swampy land of before into the lush jungle it becomes. then at the end you eventually get out solely because the geological activity around the room caused the wall to collapse only to find that all that surrounds you is dead desert. the narrator at that point as long since died, or at least become inert as a consciousness, leaving the player alone on a seemingly dead earth due to some untold ecological disaster that you see only the darkness and sounds of.

    skip 3: slightly concerned as the time is getting longer and wants stanley to not skip the button so the Narrator can look for a door.
    skip 4: desperate for stanely not to push the button as its been 12 hours.
    skip 5: tired and is so happy to talk to stanley again. he starts to lose track of time.
    skip 6: its been a year. he's spent a percent of his life waiting for you to come back. he's lost track of time after his first year. and his voice sounds exhausting (probably cause The Narrator was doing nothing but eating, sleeping, then coming back on his *whatever he does to talk to stanley device* and waits for hours.
    skip 7: the narrator is gone. the plant is now dead, and all your hear are quiet shuffling in the vents. (maybe it could be the narrator trying to escape? very unlikely)
    skip 8: The fire alarm goes off, its unclear why, but its a bit creepy.
    skip 9: The narrator returns, but does not notice stanley, instead, he rants about how the game wasn't supposed to be funny, and thought that they were jealous or something. he loops this over and over. he might be turning crazy or he's not looking at stanleys room.
    skip 10: The narrator leaves again, nothing happens, except the tiny drops of water. that's it.
    skip 11: The narrator is back again, but he's gone insane, repeating The End Is Never The End Is Never The End Is Never The End over and over like he's dead, but cannot stop repeating it like his mind as left him. more droplets start dripping if u listen closely.
    Skip 12: The narrator is probably dead now. The Dropping starts to increase more though.
    Skip 13: Rubble is everywhere, the wind can be heard, and a huge hole can be found on the top left side of the room.
    Skip 14: Things look the same, except the wind has stopped and you can see light coming out of the hole, you finally see light after thousands, maybe millions of years, just standing in that room.
    Skip 15: Everything is overgrown, birds chirp in the distance, everything feels so relaxing now.
    Skip 16: Time has passed so much now, the nice relaxing previous skip turned into a dark, eerie room with distant monstrous howls in the distance that shit yourself.
    Skip 17: The howls turn into demonic screeches in the distance which is so SO *SO* much worse. They sound much more terrifying, and makes you wonder what the HELL is out there.
    Skip 18: The entire room tilts slightly, the button has fallen down and has rested after millions of years, you can finally leave, but its just a flat desert, nothing, the worlds changed so much the last time you've seen it. and once the holy heavenly music drops. the game resets. and then you're sent back to the office like NOTHING has ever happened! :D
    Welp. that's all the skips and what happened. in my opinion my favourite skip was skip 15 (the overgrown skip) it looked and sounded so lovely. cheerio lads!
    edit: okay I've realised about the trillion years thingy so I fixed it

    You know that emptiness and uneasiness you feel whenever the Narrator isn’t talking (whether that be in this ending or any other endings)? That’s the emptiness he feels when you aren’t there. Now imagine that for eons straight.
    Stanley and the Narrator both occupy an empty shell of a game and the only thing they can cling onto is each other because they at least know that the other is sentient and therefore interact-able. They are each other’s only company, for better and for worse.
    [SPOILERS]
    .
    .
    .
    Hell I’d argue the Narrator is more lonely without Stanley because Stanley is at least aware of other characters like the female narrator and employee 432 and gets to interact with them. The Narrator isn’t aware of any other sentient characters besides you (unless you count the reassurance bucket). That’s why he gets freaked out when he finds evidence of powers higher than him at play (ie the end of the confusion ending or when 432 fixes the achievement).
    My point is Narrator is best boy and needs a hug asap.

    Ok so I did the math. Each time you push the button, the time increases by about 19 times. The narrator says it goes from 30-45 minutes to 12 hours, 30-45 can be rounded to 37. 12 hours is 700 minutes, 700 divided by 37 is 18.91. to to check this you times the 37 by about 19 and you get 703. Using this you can calculate the rest. After the 12 hours the narrator says its been about 1-2 weeks, one week is about 10000 minutes, the 700 minutes before times the estimate of 19 gives you 1330. Close enough, so following the times 19 funny enough you also push the button about 19 times. And you had already pushed the button 3 times before it reached 30-45 minutes, we just times 19 by the estimate between 30 and 35 which is 37 16 times and bravo there the number is in minutes. the minimal amount of time in minutes is an absurd 2.2684945e+14. The number is hours is 3.7808242e+12. and the number is years is about 157534341346. The math isn't perfect but eh still gives you an idea. TLDR: 157534341346 years

      But of course absolutely anyone can leave a review, so here’s what we get! We get these demands that seek everything and are accountable to nothing. We get a world where someone will say... "Ohh, there should be a skip button! You should be able to freeze Stanley in place while the narrator sits there forever and ever! We want all of this in the new Stanley Parable, we demand it!" And then, because it was said, because it was spoken, now it simply has to happen! The most immediate desires every single thing demanded by every person at every moment in time, if someone wants it then it is a crime to not bring it into being! Have we been given to indulging every fleeting whim for no reason other than to do so? Yes, yes! It seems that this is now the world we live in! It seems that we are a people living in such bleakness and discomfort with ourselves that our entertainment is now our lives! It has come to represent us! It absolutely must speak to who we are as people! Because otherwise, without our entertainment, we have nothing! Without entertainment we would have to face inward toward the cruel bleakness inside ourselves. We would turn to look at our deeper nature and find a resounding emptiness gazing back with unyielding aggression. And so - so because of this we require that our amusements, and our play things, and our flights of fancy be so impossitively captivating that they consume all of our attention, turn our heads completely away from the bleakness! In effect, we have demanded that our entertainment be the collapse of ourselves. What a pitiful reflection of humanity these entertainers are! What a shameful mirror to the human spirit they project! I'm not mad, I'm not mad about any of this. I'm at peace with it. I am the calm center of gravity around which these perversions hurl themselves. I am a waypoint for reasonable and collected discourse. They're the ones who are mad! They're the ones who couldn't stand the idea of me using my game to try and say something! Maybe they were jealous of me? Yes... yes, of course. They've been jealous of me this whole time! They are mired in fear and insecurity and cannot help but attempt to tear me down. What a sad state of affairs. When you read these reviews now, you can see it. You can taste the bitter resentment. And my, how good does it feel now to speak the truth to these words! To finally allow these thoughts out! Contained and managed for so long, neutered and sterilized! At last I am free to truly think, to feel! It must be that they were so discontent with themselves they couldn't help but leave a negative review on Steam. Perhaps it says far more about them than it ever said about me. Perhaps the state of their psychological being was in such tatters and my constitution and willpower are so ironclad in comparison perhaps it was in this state that they sought some outlet through which was to tear me down! This, you can see, is why they felt the need to expect that the game be funny. That it be filled with yuks, and whimsical humor. That it amuse them endlessly from start to finish. ...but they didn't understand the game was never meant to be funny! It was meant to have a point! It was meant to speak to the human condition!

    This ending feels like its a reflection of the Narrator's Memory Zone as a whole, as well as the themes of this zone.
    After the narrator stops talking about his own recollection of events, first the room breaks down, this is just your memories of the event decaying.
    Then the light enters the room, this represents the distortion of memories into "the good times" which you remember fondly.
    Plants begin to grow, as your mind continues to embellish these "good memories" but soon after these memories are tarnished, shown by the plants disappearing entirely.
    The distorted screams after the next skip represent your memory of the bad, and ugly parts of an event coming back to you (demonstrated in the Steam reviews sequence).
    The final skip is thus representing the "moving on," the rejection of wallowing in old memories and instead striking out to make new memories.

    when I first got to this ending I waited for the narrator to get the door for like, a solid 30 minutes, just hoping it would get even a slight bit more positive in tone, as this wasn't the type of road I expected the game to go down through, only to press the button again a couple more times and be more and more bewildered at how dark things had gotten (literally and figuratively the entire room goes dark, there's no escape, signs of decay all over and terrifying sounds) I have to say I'm impressed by how well this was executed, it inspired more dread within me than some horror games in the past decade, and I ultimately feel awful for the narrator, he didn't have to go through thousands of years of echo chamber torture

      I did the same thing!!! I was scarred by the Zen ending *years* ago, so when the narrator politely asked Stanley to wait, I honestly did set the game aside to do some chores for a while just to see if it was a test of compliance and he really would come back. Only when a half hour or so passed and it was clear the game wasn't going to budge did I finally *reluctantly* push the skip button. He was so frantic and I felt so bad. XDDD It's amazing how good writing and gameplay make you question your choices.

    The rant he starts at the 21:00 mark is some of the most impactful dialogue in the entire game in my opinion. The developers and especially the writers arent just game-makers, they aren't just artists, theyre practically modern-day philosophers. He accurately assesses current entertainment culture and how it has developed to the point where it has to be made perfect and it has to be made now. it's so fascinating to think about.

    If you really think about why he is repeating “is never the end..” it really makes you sad. During early dialogue, he states that he only has so much to ramble about. Still early, he also states that he talks so much because he fears that he will be swallowed by silence and trapped if he doesn’t. So... it’s likely Stanley took so long to come back he had talked about everything in the universe... to keep himself from going to silence, he repeated that phrase over and over... (SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 OF STRANGER THINGS) similar to how in Stranger Things, Elevens mom infinitely repeats “Four to the right. Three to the left. Rainbow. Sunflower. 45.” To keep herself from forgetting about Eleven.

      Yh, 😓 his dialogue is basically a stim at that point
      (I headcannon the Narrator as being Neurodivergent)
      And because of that, the whole skip button incident was the experience of him becoming disassociated from himself because of RSD leading to his defence mechanism of pandering to whoever insulted him (similar to the Raphael Trailer, although The Narrator did "rebuild" the Stanley Parable the way that would suit Raphael, he did it purely for a joke at his expense)
      This seems to be a darker rendition of The Raphael situation but from a meta narritive position the narrator could be simply demonstrating how much these reviews miss the point by demonstrating the "worst case scenario" of implementing these features.
      Since, The Narrator would have the ability to simply remove the button if he wanted, a possibility exists that he is doing this on purpose and, it's possible that The Narrator just swaps put the clock and plant every time you press the button and "pretends" that time has passed, to make his narritive more pungent
      In fact, from the Raphael Trailer, I doubt highly that The Narrator feels he should comform to these demands, since the "Skip Button" that Cookie9 proposed was probably designating a button on the controller/Keyboard to skip past what The Narrator is saying
      That an the fact that you have always had the option to skip the into is interesting

Which, same. I, too, will often make grand sweeping statements on society as a whole- not entirely inaccurate ones, mind you- to avoid examining myself and my flaws.

      I don't see the Narrators fault for making a perfectly fun game, that a lot of people liked, but then, because some people where hurt for whatever reason, it means that The Narrator is the one at fault
      I think this society puts to much pressure on the individual to identify their flaws, despite it usually being someone else's fault

    hi. did the math to figure out how long our boy the narrator was alone for.
    skip measurements: 18 total skips, with referenceable times as follows:
    1 - "few minutes". i lowballed and said 3.
    2 - N/A
    3 - 30-45 min. again lowballed and said 30.
    4 - 12 hours
    5 - 1-2 weeks. went with 1 week.
    6 - >1 year, went with exactly one year (365.25 for those wondering abt leap years).
    i fit to an exponential growth curve of formula Y - X/K (1-e^(-Kx)) with units of days. i initially drew up a graph in minutes but quickly realized the numbers were going to get uncalculatable LMAO so i switched to days)
    the resulting number of days after 18 consecutive button presses based off the pattern of growth is about 1.82x10^23. so thats 182 with 21 zeroes after it. to try and put that into less uselessly big terms, thats about 500,000,000,000,000 (thats 500 trillion) intervals of 1 million years. writing it as an actual number, thats 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 (20 zeroes). which i can happily say is well after the heat death of the universe, so stanley is lucky to still be a corporeal being let alone have sand to walk on.
    for those wondering how much time had passed for the narrator (the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never), that was button press number 11, so about 420,278,735 years had passed. making this number more useful, 420,279 millennia had passed. he earned that insanity

    @DavidSap Рік тому +31

    Hard to say if there's any actual intended pattern/logic to the length of the ever-increasing time skips, but from messing around with some numbers, I see a possible pattern. Seems like it starts from a "few minutes" in skip one, to a bit longer (estimating 9 minutes) in skip 2, and then around 30 minutes in skip 3 (narrator says 30-45). This led me to think that it may be jumping by powers of 3 (3, 9, 27, so on).
    This holds up at first, but then jumps from 30 min to 720 minutes (narrator says 12 hours) which breaks the pattern. However, if you skip the next 2 in the sequence (3^4 and 3^5) you come to 3^6 = 729 min, which is very close to the 12 hour mark in minutes the narrator suggests. If you again skip the next two in sequence (3^7 and 3^8) you'll come to 3^9 = 19683 min, which is between 1-2 weeks, also as the narrator says. Follow this same logic skipping two again, and you'll come to 3^12 = 531,441 min, which is almost exactly a full year in minutes which is the next data point the narrator gives us.
    Naturally, its hard to say if this has any merit to it or is just coincidence. However, I did find it interesting that the alarm going off (8th skip) occurs when the pattern I've listed above spits out that it's been 737 years, as this is roughly the correct amount of time where the material in the smoke detector IRL would have decayed enough to cause the detector to stop working.
    After skip 6 the narrator stops giving you time reference points, but if you play the pattern out, it implies 14.5 million years has passed after by skip 11 when the narrator has finally cracked, and 151,762,639,035,146,000 years have passed by the 18th skip. Poor guy :/

    Something about the utter despair one feels as they see the light and plants grow, only to skip so far into the future that it has all decayed into dirt really makes me appreciate this ending out of the rest.
    "You regret your decisions of skipping the plants and in a last bit of hope to right your wronging, you press the button. Who knows how long it's been now?
    Then, at last, you see it: a way out! You run out, Ready to feel the freedom of light and the smell of fresh air damp with the earth's liveliness only to be ripped of that hope once your eyes adjust; now given the same dread felt in that claustrophobic prison cell. This ancient fossil of once a planet brimming with life now abandoned and worn down by harsh winds, inhabited only by sand and rock."
    You might as well remain in that room for the world itself has become it: barren, alone, and utterly lifeless... except you.
    Like a metaphor for the game itself, stripping it of the Narrator and his Whitty comments removes any and all purpose it has.
    Yes you could still explore and "get" the endings, but without fueling in the vehicle, you aren't getting anywhere.
    Also, the detail of the sky being a dull brown similar to that of Mars is a great addition to that singular, nearly soul-wrenching moment of realization about humanity and how it can, and might even, destroy all they have made and have been given. Funny how Mars is the war planet considering us as a species have killed so many of ourselves while we've yet to discover any definite evidence that life existed on Mars.

    I can't help but think, in a world where the narrator's dislodge doesn't repeat, and he can keep rambling about what ever he wants, Stanly chooses to not push the skip button after the third skip. He sits, in the room he can't leave, with the button that might lead to his and the narrator's doom, and just listens.
    Time passes, and he can' find a way out. After all, the narrator already said he can't influence the room at all. And so he just listens to the narrator's ramblings. And, as he slowly wastes away (because Stanly is a person that still needs sustenance or whatever) The narrator does the only thing he can and talks Stanly through his last moments, before inevitably leaving the narrator alone.

    this part somehow triggered my existential crisis.
    as i listen multiple time of each dialogs (to see if something change), i get to fully experience how much time would pass when button was pressed.
    and then i realized that when playing videogame, it's like the skip button for real-life, the narrator are those who around me (that not so fond w/ videogame) watching me soullessly playing the game, let the moment pass.
    that completely shock me.

    From the Ashes of Depravity Rises the Phoenix of Quality
    How else to describe The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe?
    Such a revolutionary step forward in the lineage of one of the most beloved video game properties of all time! The additions and changes made to this expansion will surely resonate in the annals of the history of all media ever made. It is perhaps true to say that no mistakes are forever etched in stone, for the stone into which The Stanley Parable was carved has itself been transmuted, offering a message of hope to those who have ever erred in their judgement. You are not beyond redemption. You may change, and you may become more, so much more than you were before.
    If there is any message to be taken from The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, it is this...
    What a fortune, a privilege, a joy it is to have had such an experience. It leaves me hopeful that as a community--as a world--there is time for us to become our greatest selves. As great as we ever could dream of in our wildest, most ambitious visions for a brighter future.

    “But they didnt understand the game was never meant to be funny! It was meant to have a point! It was meant to speak to the human condition! “But where are the jokes? Where are the jokes!?” They bemoaned, they screamed. They gnashed their teeth, and said “Entertain us!” It wasnt enough. They had to leave a pathetic little thumbs down review and make all of their pitiful demands. But then, “He’s talking to much!” They said! First he didn’t entertain us now he won’t shut up!”

    imo, this ending works best if you've played/watched it twice: always skipping through the dialogue in the first trial, then sitting through all the dialogue in the second. I think it's meaning and the dread that comes from it really shines that way.
