Realized how often the Narrator anthropomorphizes things in the Ultra Deluxe in order to encourage or bait Stanley. Which is so much different than how he was in the past endings, specifically the apartment ending. The way he now refers to all the different quotable and memorable objects in the game as Stanley’s friends.

There’s just something about the way the Narrator does at least deeply try to relate to Stanley’s need as a human, understanding more that we are sociable creatures. Giving us the bucket as something to cherish and playing along with the notion (despite getting very obviously upset when Stanley gets too attached to the bucket and then tries to break down that narrative). The attempt made to actually reach out to Stanley in a human-like way.

I don’t know where I’m going with this but the attempt at connection through the similar actions of a person or something like that. Acknowledgement of human needs, even if it's more or less the bare minimum effort.

#the stanley parable #there’s just something about the change in the narrator as a character through the various editions of the game #how he acts in the original mod vs how he acts in the ultra deluxe #again this falls all the way into my whole the narrator acting more human as time goes on #and stanley becomes less human as time goes on concept i got brewing in my head at all times #sorry I’m always so chatty about this game btw I feel like I may be too annoying with it #if I am plz know that I’m sorry for it. fixation’s insane with this one #the stanley parable ultra deluxe #<- technically ig #edit: edited it just a smidge hehe #my friend brought up a good point and I wanted to add it :-)
