you fools . the narrator and stanley’s dynamic isnt “ableist parent and autistic child” . its “two autistic dudes on virtually opposite ends of the spectrum boxing it out”
Listen… I was Only supposed to design a new Stanley and figure out how to draw him, but ended up with an archetype Narrator design for the Psychonauts AU(?) as well. So…
Funny thoughts about the Narrator design under the Read More, I guess :]
happy 4/27 here’s all the content in no particular order
official
the original mod one man. one engine. one vision. absolutely worth checking out to compare it to the remake. the narrator’s much more of a symbol than an emotionally complex character here, even when he’s got the same lines they’re often acted differently. comes with a readme in which the writer shares his interpretation of the game, which nobody ever told me was a thing that existed. of course, it only fully applies to this version, which doesn’t explore as many themes as the remake. playthrough
the demo yeah, same link, scroll down to “download free demo”. a fully unique, stand-alone experience! very similar in tone to the confusion ending. time to bond over game development. playthrough-secrets
the trailers with the obvious stand-out feature of the raphael trailer. petty bastard.
the manual 1/2 written by the narrator. a piece of content very close to my heart.
less official
jack a short film version of the stanley parable. it’s… the jack parable. i avoided watching this for ages but it’s good, actually. like, not to spoil anything but it’s basically all… there.
mega64 parody the narrator walks around bothering random people.
escape pod ending does a happy ending undermine everything the game stands for? yes. are you gonna sit there and wistfully gaze at it anyway? yes.
dungeons 3 i haven’t played this game and i don’t plan to unless i grow extremely desperate but… it’s narrated by the narrator. the whole game is one long cameo. they got kevan to voice it and were just like… might as well.
i’ve realized i’ve never uploaded my art for the stanley parable storybook i made for my final illustration class, obviously that needs to be fixed! these are some of my fave pages i’ve done!
