[@Naurdagnor]

@@SteamedPoi "To be perfectly honest, Stanley, I had forgotten how much you enjoyed typing on your keyboard out of sheer desire to do so, with absolutely no other pomp or circumstance. It would be rather refreshing, but...the consistency can get annoying after a few months...could you take a break sometime? Perhaps, get a coffee? Adopt a pet? Get a partner?"

He underestimates himself. A great deal of the game's appeal is his absolutely phenomenal voice acting. Would absolutely love to see him become an industry legend in his field. I can only imagine he's getting more video game voice acting offers.

[@Julian_H]

He's going to be in doctor who, so this game has definitely made him well known.

[@MrJdcirbo]

He did... A GREAT JOB! I was stunned by how well he negotiated the twists and turns off the character. The concept itself is delightful and intriguing (a freedom story in which the very essence of "story" is explored), but Mr Brighting really drove it home. I couldn't agree more with you. Underrated comment, good sir!

G*y Bebe Kevan. It's spelled Kevan. I didn't know that was a spelling either, but there we go.

Kevan literally used his normal voice for the narration, except with a slightly higher pitch.

[@EterPuralis]

YES! Which was why I had to stop playing before I got there, and just look up the consequences of leaving the room on youtube.

[@StarlitSwamp]

Noooo, that one was heartbreaking ! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who felt so sorry for the narrator during that part. At some point it was almost too much to bear and I actually tried to go back, but I couldn't find any other way out. T_T

[@EterPuralis]

No, that just satisfies him, not the same thing. Also, just play the game, you'll find it eventually, and then you'll get it.

[@Linkfin]

This video was rather old, but Stanley had been recommended it. Stanley watched the whole video and left a like.

[@GGreenHeart]

Then, after a moment, he decided to leave a comment, so he sat back and began to type on his keyboard. It didn't matter that 8 years had passed since the video's posting. Not only was it was clear that the Voice Actor had loved this little project back then, but that his passion for the game was still abundantly flourishing to this very day. That passion, and the Narrator as a whole, had changed Stanley. And so he finished writing something small, something kind, something likely to go unnoticed by the world at large- but wrote it anyway, with a special feeling of satisfaction in his chest. The experience of following through on his decision was, after all, a reward in its own right. And so Stanley glanced over his writing, fixed a couple typos, and pressed Submit.

[@geckogeico2212]

@@GGreenHeart He could never have written such an elegant comment without the guidance and peace from his bucket, so he followed up his previous comment to let others know that his comment was nor only thanks to himself, but rather a teamwork effort of Stanley and the bucket.

Dylan clenched his fists, shouting if anyone was there that could listen, "I found the narrator! His soothing voice is real! Believe it! Believe it!" and Dylan fell to the ground, and everything went black.- This is the story of a man named Kevan. Kevan was walking to go to work, when he saw a man lying down on the ground. Now, Kevan went to go to the police station and call the ambulance, but before he did, Kevan knew he had places to go. People to meet. Things to do. And when Kevan thought about all this....and Kevan ran off. The end.

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

I know it's assuming of me, when originally hearing Kevan Brighting in the game I kind of pictured this curmudgeonly fellow but seeing this video made me happy to learn that he actually seems jolly. I think it would be awesome if someone got Kevan Brighting & Ellen McClain (I probably messed up her name) & have them act off of each other as their characters.

[@ZipperDeer]
