As someone who faces severe depression this speech really made me tear up because its so inspiring. Its so empowering. It makes me think that things will get better, maybe they will.

This hits hard

Don't do things to eventually find the failure you expect. Do them to learn from mistakes and find the solution.

Just finished my first playthrough of this game. The ending left me wishing my cousin could have played this before he passed..maybe could have gotten a different perspective.

this speech unironically changed me bro it gave me a whole new outlook

"Because you kept moving forward, no matter how far off the path you were told you were headed, or how unexpected it became you found your way." That hit me so hard dude. Even though almost all of us keep hearing this the game litterally gives us evidence of this and shows us that our journeys do pay off and no matter what we should and we can keep pushing on and you dont have to make your problems a bad thing. This is litterally showing us the theme of perspective.

god damn this puzzle game got me teared up

This ending hit me like a truck

I remember this. I was just walking through the last level. Then my eyes widen as I sit and listen. He was right. No matter how hard you try, there will always be something wrong. But that's just nature. Humans are meant to feel sadness, and fear, and anger, and even empathy. But things can get better. Even if it dosen't look like it, there is always sun after the storm. Nobody is perfect, and if you end up crying about something others might consider dumb, then that's okay. It's normal. The only reason others might consider it stupid is becuase they've never experienced something like that before, and therefore, can't proccess what it's like for you. That's why you need to see things from every angle. That's why the items grew when they looked like all they did was move. It's because you saw things from the angle needed, and therefore found the right answer. You weren't stuck sitting there in confusion and fear. It's like the level Blackout. The red paint on the floor looked like blood, but only because everything had a spooky atmosphere to it, so your mind went for the worst possible thought. But as you turned the generator on, you realized it wasn't as bad as you thought. And there's that theme, things will always get better, and you will naturally feel fear and worry. That's okay. Even if something might seem hopeless, you can see things in a different way, and then you'll have found the path to peace. The way he said it, it just... struck me. I almost cried. It was just so shocking. I knew that life had problems, but this game made me realize things won't always be as bad as they seem, and there's always a different way to look at things. That's what hit me so hard. "But today, you got the chance to see things in a different way, and you recognized them for what they really were." That quote there. It was just so shattering, and yet I loved it. Because it was true. Sorry for rambling, I know, I basically just repeated what he said, I get it. But it just shook my world so much, bacause it was the truth.

after hours of playing the game, this speech emotionally DESTROYED me. i legit cried. 10/10 game.

Just finished the game, made me tear up a little. Definitely an inspiring speech, great game 🤍

Dr. Glenn Pierce gives better speeches than Optimus Prime and that’s not an easy feat

REALITY IS AN ILLUSION THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM BUY GOLD BYEEEEE

it ended with the same words the minecraft end credits poem ended with 👀 "Wake up."

The voice actor for Dr Glenn Pierce does car adverts on the radio and TV here in the UK and I'm always half expecting them to turn into the solution to all of humanities issues.

"all you've got to do, is Wake. Up."

why on earth did they take this part out of the game...? played on Steam in April 2022

I can’t help but hear Ballas when I hear this speech.

“Hello! My name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and many years ago, I had a dream. I found myself in a place where I understood that each of us begins as nothing. Where everything I perceived was shaped by seeing it exactly the way I wanted to. Whitespace. But in Whitespace, I also faced the greatest challenge I could imagine: Because with a lifetime of life itself behind me - and all of the weight that it carried... I realized that seeing things the way I wanted to was not as easy as it used to be. You’re well beyond dreaming now, and further out than anyone has ever come back from, but we hope that you won’t get discouraged. After all: If this is a place of pure perspective, isn’t it also a place where a different point of view could make anything possible? Isn’t that why you came here? Hello my name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and by now you may have realized that all of this has happened exactly the way it was supposed to. You see, everyone who comes to the Institute does so because they feel that they are no longer in control of something important to them. But, more often than not, the problem is not that the problems we face can’t be solved: The problem is that we become so afraid of failure that we refuse to see our problems from a new perspective. And so we do the same things again and again and again. And therein, of course, we find exactly the failure we were looking for. Your life will always be a struggle and you will always have problems. But today, you had the chance to see things differently. Even though it meant facing obstacles that seemed impossible at first, you thought outside the box - and you overcame them. Because you saw things from every angle, you understand them for what they really were. Because you kept moving forward, no matter how far off the path you were told you were headed, or how unexpected it became... You found your way. In a few minutes, you’ll be back in the real world, and some part of you will say that none of this was real: So how could it have meant anything? But - just like the power of perspective itself - it will have been as real as you believed it to be. All you’ve got to do is Wake Up.-

I didn’t even understand it honestly but it makes me cry

Imagine this speech read by the voice of Kurzgesagt

This speech always hits different… makes me upset… in a good way, idk

a speech i live for

The speech actually made me cry fsr

Speech of Masterpiece from jpn

Voice actor?

:) glad I experience this

this game goes over so many people's heads. it's not about a puzzle game with endless rooms but a very important life lesson..I cried watching this because of how inspiring and insightful it is

during some parts of the game i really felt like giving up or i was scared, but his voice helped me get through it it really made me feel like i wasnt alone while playing, and that someone was there with me and was there to calm me down his speech made me cry- i hadn’t realized how attached i was to him :( it was really inspiring, and im glad i played this game :,)

Who wants Superliminal 2 ??

So deep i think the person who made the game is a real doctor for this stuff its very heart touching

I teared up after hearing this on my first playthrough. Something about it resonated well within me

His speech actually made me cry

didn't have to jump and move the screen so much but it's ok

I want Dr. Glenn Pierce to read me a story.

The ending reminded of evangelion ending

I’m adding this to my beautiful things playlist Edit: wtf I commented this 6 months ago. It felt like 2.

Some parts of this game is kinda spooky and hearing his voice is great.

I felt like this speech was actually really inspiring :')
