The broom closet is a great example of how humans think. Everyone I’ve watched play this stays in the whole time just with the simple suggestion that there’s nothing in there. Then you dig your heels in for the sake of defiance, even when he starts insulting you. So good!

[@EvanandKatelynGamingUncut]

we really are all just big toddlers haha

[@NicVandEmZ]

@@EvanandKatelynGamingUncut you know the guy who did the narrative voice is Kevan Brighting

[@holiday991]

There's 19 endings good luck

[@megabarbs1]

The broom closet ending is my favorite!

[@geekfreak2000]

I just like closets. I should know I was in one until I was 20.

[@DanielBerke]

The bucket literally adds a second version of every single ending in the game (of which you still have several more to see) depending on whether or not you have it with you, as far as I can tell. It's pretty insane.

[@IRrebel3]

There is at least two ending that is unique and without a bucket counterpart... I don't remember if there are any more than that... Edit: after thinking about it some more I realized there are five unique endings without the bucket and one ending unique with the bucket!

[@bobblebardsley]

6:33 Katelyn: "You just unlocked two achievements: 'You can't jump' and 'Get your first achievement.' Can you jump?" Evan, confounded: "No!" I don't know why I laughed so hard at that, the timing and tone were just too perfect.

[@CCcummins]

You could say they didnt need to watch the comedic timing video, they were already pros

[@MySerpentine]

I love that if you do exactly what you're told you're freed from mind control.

[@mooviies]

You are not. If you think about it it's the only time in the game where you can't control the characters. Then again, maybe it's the player that is controlling stanley and now stanley is free from the player's control?

[@firstnamebunchofnumbers1543]

@@mooviies I think part of the thing is, Stanley and the Player are trap when they are just following orders and pressing keys, Stanley when is working and the player when is playing. So when you finish the game, Stanley is free from the Mind Control, and since the player "finish" the game, is free from it and can go elsewhere to do something else.

[@RothAnim]

@@mooviies I think that's the nature of the parable. The Narrator's story is about the importance of choice and free will, but the only way you get it is by having no choice and following orders. Any choices you make to the contrary "break" the "intended" story and upsets the Narrator; but at a broader scale, EVERY choice in the game only exists because the Developer allowed all those choices to be possible.

[@inkoalawetrust]

@@mooviies Yes, that's literally the joke. That the ending where you are freed from the mind control device is the one where you blindly do everything the narrator tells you.

[@basketman2517]

I always interpreted it as: Would you rather live in perfect lie, or live in a horrible truth. When Stanley is in his office following orders and never questioning anything, he is happy. When he listens to the narrator, never questioning anything, he is happy. I don’t know every ending in this game, but a lot of the endings where you disobey the narrator result in Stanley’s death, or something else bad. In real world terms: Would you rather lead a happy life, never questioning your leaders, remaining blissfully ignorant to the atrocities in the world. Or experience the world as is, the crimes your leaders have committed, the inhumane things in this world. To be able to think for yourself, at the cost of happy ignorance. In the real world, it’s the people who pander to their politicians, and do exactly as their told, who get rich and live happy lives. It’s the rebels who get locked away in jail. Is it better to sacrifice happiness for the sake freedom?

[@Ragnar_Aevarsson]

The teasing of the elevator ending just to not complete it has me broken 😞🥺

[@SantanaMoss15]

Right? They were one more trip up away from greatness.

[@tuph4088]

same 😢

[@NekoToguchi]

They now need to make merch that says, "The prank is never the prank is never the prank" repeating across a shirt.

[@AmateurUrbanFarm]

The non-completionist way that you guys play this game makes me anxious 😂 glad the game stopped you to go to the collectibles exhibit - I was yelling "NO! Collectibles!!"

[@ubidragonrocksmith9719]

I love the new "bottom of the mind control facility" ending! thats really nice new thing added to the game

[@hyper_lynx]

You made it to the bottom of the mind control facility? Good job! You did it!

[@justinbarton8808]

Good job!, you did it!

[@satsadarkpath2094]

I think it’s great that so many love this game. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them. I bought into the hype and got it, and I couldn’t stand it. In my opinion, worst game(?) Ive ever played in my life

[@cheeseisgreat24]

This is my favorite game to watch youtube personalities play because it’s an A-tier game for storytelling and design, and watching people deal with it is just hilariously awesome.

[@mrjutsumaster]

I can just see yall going about your everyday lives asking here and there "do you need your comfort bucket? do you want me to grab the comfort bucket? HEY BABE! WANT ME TO GET THE COMFORT BUCKET?"

[@pollyyander]

the confusion ending (with the stanley parable adventure line) is my actual FAVORITE-! so convoluted.

[@annonymus1770]

The 12B4 is a Easter egg for valve can’t count to 3 (because all their games stop até the number 2) and the “eight” ( 51:00 ) is a Easter egg for the original demo for the Stanley parable of 2013 Funfact the Stanley parable was a half life mod

[@bria1648]

I appreciate the non graphic deaths so much, I really can't handle horror games, the suspence, then the jump scares make my heart do things I don't think it should

[@devonskinner409]

A lot of people say "the end is never" when reading the screen between lives. I read it as "the end is never the end". Ironically, "the end" at the end of the sentence would also be the start of the next sentence.

[@jima1135]

I am ALL ABOUT that button that says 'Jim'. I feel like the narrator really tried to put an average Jim's life into perspective for everyone. Sure, we may make it look like it's all fun and games but no one, including you guys, ever really listens to just how rough it is out there for us. Anyway, I started playing this game a few weeks ago but felt it would have been so much better to enjoy it with someone else. Cool that you guys played it and I can vicariously enjoy it with you. Thanks!

[@drewishaf]

I absolutely love the weird "afterlife" part of the game where the devs actually got a chance to display some of the design choices of the game, explain some of the alternative options, and display their parts in the game which are usually overlooked by players. I think it's a fantastic idea to let your audience in on some of the ideas that went into the game and give them just that little extra chance to appreciate all of the things that they may not actually notice during playthroughs. More games should have a feature room like that. There was a multiplayer thing in one of the older call of duty games where they let you do that too, but at a much smaller scale and it was kinda integrated into the map. The way they did it here was fantastic.

[@justinbarton8808]

This game is art and genius design. The narrator is really funny. I loved the old style projector information videos. This game is pure gold

[@Izfizlizard]

Yeah lol, I got the game when I was like 11 and my brother was 8 and it blew his mind so good he was repeating the narrator’s voice lines in his sleep 💀 incredible game, spectacular storytelling, totally worth the money :D

SAMEEEE

[@TubbyJ420]

i played 10 hours myself, and probably watched at least 6 or 7 other streamers complete playthroughs. this game is so much fun to watch peoples reactions to and see their minds blown.

[@All54321]

I never knew you could return to the boss’s office from the elevator and never knew you can fall to the bottom of the control room, I’m learning so much about this game that I didn’t know of before. Wow.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I guess you'll have to play Beginner's Guide next! It's by the same game creator, Davey Wreden, and is a similar genre of a narrated experience, but Davey himself narrates it and it explores deep themes about art, parasocial relationships, and mental illness in some very moving ways.

[@RamcatUru]

Currently working on the "Go Outside" achievement. 1 year down, 4 more to go. I think it will be super worth it ;)

[@kimberlyc6784]

This is a good game for chaos Evan. Sometimes chaos is stressful, but this game is practically made for it

First time watching your channel, and I'm charmed by your top-tier wholesome energy. Looking forward to more content, gang.

[@pinkparrot8]

This is my favourite gaming uncut. The narrator is just golden 😂

The Broom Closet Ending was my favorite 🙂

[@poppy.0b]

i absolutely love this! ive never heard of this game, but it's so crazy to imagine the amount of endings that have yet to be found!! cant wait for another stream..

[@pfarabee]

Based on your opening question, I have to assume you have never downloaded "There is no game" from Steam.. You really shouldn't ever do that, because there is no game in that download, and I have complete faith you would never find it interesting or amusing.. because it totally isn't a game. Of course, should you be foolish enough to ignore my suggestion to not download that, because it isn't fun at all, then you'd probably want to at least take your time and listen to what the narrator of the game.... er.. I mean not game... has to say before just clicking away.

[@rodneybever9583]

OMG I was cracking up at the end. In the Philippines they call the bathroom the comfort room so when I saw it called a comfort bucket...well...😆😆

[@DJlegionuk]

I joined the stream at the start of Part 2, wow I missed a lot of stuff. The narrator gives me The Hitch Hikers guide to the Galaxy vibe.

[@boheme321]

I made sure to do all the endings in one sitting. Now I wait for the 10year achievement

[@torrithtorres]

The keypad saying 8 is probably a reference to the demo. The demo is different than the game but has the same feel. It’s worth it in itself. Just not very long.

[@Twisty-Twist]

crazy how the first 2 endings they got is just stanley dying.

[@isyougood]

Evans chaos is perfectly crafted for this game

[@GRAYgauss]

Just fyi, the reason youre getting backroom vibes is due to liminal spaces. it's more of a psychological perception of large, typically crowded or transitional spaces when they're empty. Interesting stuff, and probably my favorite vibe.

[@MarkReedUK]

Loved watching you play this, big fan of the game (both 2013 and Ultra Deluxe editions). You easily have at least another 1 or 2 streams of content you haven't seen yet, despite my shouting things like "don't do that yet!" at the recorded stream on my screen lol)

Wow. Great catch. I have played this game off and on since it was realized in original form and never realized the room numbers descended as you proceeded.

[@danyg4063]

Yea, there's like at least 2 full streams worth of endings left. Ya'll aren't even through like a third of the base game, let alone all the extra content from Ultra Deluxe.

[@robotpanda77]

The bucket feels like a shot at the companion cube from portal. And a lot of the sequel content feels like references to fallout. The music is very similar to fallout 4's intro, it has a robot that says your name (has hundreds of prerecorded names) and the line of the sign "it just works" was said by ceo Tod Howard during the release of fallout 76.

[@auraravenwolf844]

*narrator voice* As Evan and Katelyn contemplated the nuances and logistics of creating an entirely alternate channel to stream The Stanley Parable doing nothing for an entire year, they decided to not do that; knowing full well it was -definitely- something the narrator would hate doing.

[@idlewildwind]

As someone who experiences the Narrator Dictating/Describing Everything I'm Doing thing, let me tell you, it gets very tedious and stressful and if I were Stanley right now (24:18) I would just go back to focussing on my button-clicking job. That way, the Narrator can shut up and just become the Observer instead, which is still stressful but less tedious and thus easier to tune out. -No, I'm not actually insane; I've asked a therapist and he just said that this is not a problem; as long as the Narrator/Observer isn't saying mean things or forcing me to bad things, I'm not schizophrenic.-

[@oliverl.9004]

I've NEVER saw anyone doing the mind control facility ON-switch + bucket ending

[@LittleYorgee]

You never found the red and blue doors. Those are more than half of the original game. Try falling off the lift to the phone. The parable is all about taking control and not being told what to do. The more you fight the narrator, the more it changes. You can also restart at any time and it greatly changes things. The restart isn’t a real restart…

[@antivanti]

Broom closet ending is the best ending! 😊

The game was fun, clever storytelling, but to be honest, the most interesting thing about the video was that I came to understand that there are times when you just need to become a unicorn kitten, while cuddling a real kitty then you become an overpowered Jedi and disappear behind a chair... It is impossible to invent such a scene.

[@Luredreier]

2:21:59 You missed out on one thing in here, the settings championship, just change *every* setting in the game to every possible variable at least once there and that door opens. It unlockes quite a bit of gameplay. Also you're not even close to finishing up the original content yet.

[@ChaoticRad]

I would highly recommend you check out The Beginner's Guide. It was made by Davey Wreden who made this game (The Stanley Parable), and I would go into it without doing any research.
