"So I'm just gonna take this chair and STONE COLD HIM!" I laughed a little to hard at that

[@pacecory1]

I've always felt that the in the end, that man you're chasing is actually your earlier self. So if you catch him, its still you're body, but its the death screen from the first game. If you let him go, he ends up going on the same journey that you do, thus it's actually continuing the cycle.

[@thespreer2142]

That would make sense if the man is in a coma, as he would be asleep and not be able to actually wake up.

[@annetachibana3972]

I was just about to comment this

[@SarkenHS]

That could explain the notes "he left for himself". Though it's still sound a bit much to me, but it's far from impossible. Could also explain why the man escaping as the end seems to escape from the same hallway we're escaping from in the first game, as since it's a dream, it shouldn't be the same dream for another person, though it's quite vague as to how much in the "same dream" people can get (aka the traveler from the second game).

[@thurowaway]

but letting him go also makes the cycle continue, since the protag from the first game went back to deep sleep for the second game. so the cycle never really ends either way

[@lpfan4491]

Honestly, the idea of that happening would be more clear if he fails to get himself and then he dies from the light in the first game. So all he really did was erase himself. Now, that feels like it is not happening because he got the guy and he surely would not want to return. He was curious if it was real, he knows the answer.

[@shawnheatherly]

The Don't Escape trilogy can be appreciated as a series in that you can see the games improve and become more polished, but you don't really need to play them to appreciate it fully. The Deep Sleep trilogy is absolutely best experienced as a complete story together. The good ending is certainly where you don't steal the body, but that's a pretty dark good ending. In most cases where you have to sacrifice yourself, you're at least dead. Here though, you're just seemingly trapped for eternity. It's a strong note to end the trilogy on.

[@justsomeone3599]

I think that the endings aren't neither 'good' or 'bad', it is more like a you live I die or I live you die, someone always has to die...

[@VeryPeeved]

no one has to die, fortunately. either one will be trapped in the deepest sleep, but at least they're still alive. the depths aren't so bad, really. not a patch on reality, but better than being dead, at least.

[@TheMasterUnity]

@@VeryPeeved Not dead, but trapped in a hellish nightmare until their body in the real world finally dies. Maybe that wouldn't even end it, still a pretty terrible place.

[@VeryPeeved]

@@TheMasterUnity eh, it's not that bad. it's not a great place, but without the danger of shadow people attacking you it's pretty peaceful. aside from those weird worm things, but those aren't very common. and even if it was some hellish nightmare, it'd still be better than being dead.

[@TheMasterUnity]

@@VeryPeeved I mean i don't know about that, you might end up like the one girl in Deeper sleep who lost their mind. Eventually you're going to go mad being stuck there for decades, pondering over your decision to remain. Wondering if you made the right choice over and over again.

[@mastamelon]

2:53 *"What's this?" "No seriously"* It looks to be a child or young man sleeping in a bed. A human head and a bedcover appear faintly in the picture. It could be of the protagonist being stalked for all I know.

[@softlymeowgical7609]

Oooh...this is an interesting observation!

[@elgatochurro]

It's someone SLEEPING

[@NaturalFlirtGamer]

"You don't have a career if I don't look at you" Exactly what you should say to all those monsters under the bed or in the closet lol. That fear of sleep is ancient - the idea of being trapped in a dream, in your sleep, in a coma touches on a relatable fear of never waking up. Many little children are taught to say prayers about their souls being cared for if they should die before they wake. This was an excellent free game series. The ambiance, sound effects, lighting, & the jump scares have remained solid even tho the first game is almost 10 years old. Thank you for bringing this to us fresh.

[@anthonynguyen1289]

[@LordZanas]

@@anthonynguyen1289 You can never be sure how you feel about death until it almost happens. I couldn't fit a quarter in the space between an on-coming driver passing illegally, and my driver side door. Had he braked a half-second later, I'd have been turned into a T-Bone. I always thought I'd leave this workd terrified. Kicking and screaming. But I felt the most melancholy calm I've ever felt. Still, I hope you never have to figure it out at the last second.

[@anthonynguyen1289]

@@LordZanas I mean I've been in situations that could've been ended badly a few times and I always felt creepily calm during them. I was in middle school when my mom took me on a trip and being a kid I chose not to wear my seatbelt. Some semitruck had a piece that broke off and several cars including ours hit it popping our tires on the freeway. We didn't hit anything, but I was flung to the ground while we spun out. Another time when I could drive I was driving on the interstate during the rain and spun out. I didn't hit anyone, but all that was going through my head both times was nothing

Hey Manly, there's a visual novel called Birth ME code, which is a survival game inspired by Danganronpa and Zero Escape where you play as the mastermind trying to manipulate others in a killing game, creating new routes and endings and stuff like that.

[@BlightCosmos]

8:51 I JUST NOTICED THAT THERE'S A SIDEREAL PLEXUS CORP. ON THE TOP!! It is known that Sidereal Plexus(S.P.) is travelling through worlds using the deep sleep so maybe they made this underground system or someone dreamt about S.P. and manifested itself here or they didnt make the sewer system but uses it thats why they put a note for other S.P. employees

[@KennyRedSocks]

"This vicious cycle cannot continue." It actually will if the other traveler follows the same path as the protagonist. Only because the shadow person from the first game was so merciful or lazy could the protagonist revisit the dream world and be possessed.

[@mackdeejay]

if you want something like this but far more fleshed out and extensive lore-wise i still highly recommend the cube escape/rusty lake series

[@Firestar4041]

So basically, you have a choice; Cycle 1: Catch em, take their body, and kill like those before you; and leave the victim to become a monster Cycle 2: Let em go, only for them to come back and follow the steps you took, and end up getting taken by something else

[@Sevofthesands]

Thinking about it. the other traveler was likely a shadow being too since it seems to be just people who have been trapped in the dream world for a long long time. they have been around since the dawn of man because they are human somewhat. while we never heard a shadow person speaking there's no indication that they can't either.

[@jetteerikapradhan7620]

I think the “bad ending” is actually the good ending. At the end of game 2, one of the creatures attacks you and takes your body, so naturally taking it back would be good.

[@axel2741]

I remember playing the first deep sleep game when I was younger and lived in China and thus the firewall, so that game was my first exposure to horror as a kid. Trippy nostalgic stuff.

[@derryair9419]

Pretty sure it's a cycle game, and the ending where you dont posses their body is canon. The guy we chased out was us in the first game, running after we saw the Shadow Person for the first time. By not taking that body, you've allowed the cycle to continue. He doesn't wake up, he just dreams until he comes back to this world in a lucid state, and gets killed at the end of Deeper Sleep. I assume that by possessing his body you actually wake up from the Coma you're in, and I think your name is Bert and the mysterious bloke is also Bert. Hes aware of the fact you're a new cycle and avoids you because he knows what will happen, and I think the crazy person in the attic(Felicity) is another version of Trapped Bert, that hes just disowned. Sort of like the Cat In The Box game, it's an endless loop that can only be ended by becoming the monster and possessing your latest cycle.

[@goosequillian]

One is unable to read anything in one's dream. The area of the brain responsible for the ability to read is inactive whilst sleeping.

[@alvarox951]

*spoilers* so if we asume that this man is in a coma, and the "dream" is an eternal loop of "escape the shadow people, become the shadow people" we could teorize that the "other traveler" from the second game was ALSO yourself after becoming a shadow person so it goes like this you escape from your shadow self, and kill some shadow people you meet your shadow self as "another traveler", it warns you about dangers meaby your shadow self or another shadow person turns you into one you wonder around as a shadow person until you find and either spare or hunt your past self if you spare it, you probably realize this, and try to warn your past self in diferent ways to wake up, but you fail.

[@Nakima666]

With the way the door slides shut in the end, doesn't that imply that the dream world isn't bound by time, and the Deepest version protagonist is chasing after the Deep version protagonist? So by 'holding back' and not wanting the cycle to continue, the Deepest version protagonist is continuing the cycle because the Deep version protagonist is now curious and goes Deeper.

[@Kitsunegami]

this as the deeper sleep have 2 endings, the 'good' and the 'bad' 'good' - you leave the 'traveller' be and let them awake 'bad' - you possess the 'traveler' and become them leaving them to become a shadow person. good and bad are relative, as i judge them as how the ending is. in the end both endings are canon.

This whole series reminds me of an experience I had with what I can only assume was a "shadow person". I had woken up in the middle of the night and I couldn't move or say anything. I noticed a figure standing by the side of the bed and it looked vaguely like my younger cousin. It didn't move and it felt like it was staring at me. Eventually I buried myself in the blankets and was able to fall asleep again. Since then I've been afraid if the dark even more so than before.

[@ShermanLeungpointofgravity]

Another interpretation that I got was that maybe the protagonist has always been a shadow person from the start, it's just that they've been made to think that they are a human trapped in the dream realm (weather it would be natural instinct for those ideas to form in the shadow person's mind, or through an outside force planting that idea in them) and thus when they possess a traveler at the end, they're an "empty soul" who's come into this plane of existence. That leaves the point about the other traveler who talks to you halfway through, but I suppose that could be explained as it being on of the other shadow people and mimicking a traveler to keep the facade up.

I understand that game 3 is actually a prequel to part 1. And in fact, it turns out that the protagonist of part 1 will always go back to sleeping ( maybe even not wake up) in part 2, until the shadow of part 3 decides to absorb it. So the cycle cannot be completely interrupted, just delayed. However, this game can be viewed from several angles, which is why it is good.
