The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe | Zending Ending

[@RightBoyKA-POW]

Yeah. Me too.

[@Jakssfw]

The saddest ending. Its so much emotion for a game

[@astr.4]

imo this ending is the saddest ending

[@luyfabri984]

you can try getting the commitment ending, which is leaving the game open for an entire tuesday, starting at 12 am

[@mygachaphase]

You know, I just realized that Stanley and the narrator are basically glued together. If Stanley dies, the narrator goes with him, starting all over again. Even though that the narrator has the ability to restart the game, I don’t think he has the ability to stop Stanley/the player from dying. If you think about it in a certain way, none of them are in control of this situation.

Yeah I found this ending funny more than anything. Like Stanley is being petty for all the times the narrator betrayed him. The fact he kept jumping just made it funnier

I swear his sad voice hurt so much. It genuinely feels like hearing a puppy cry, the voice actor they picked for the Narrator is simply amazing, I can understand why everyone loves him so much (aside from his previous works), his voice and the way he express things so well even if you can't see the expression of the character is just amazing. Just his voice is enough to convey the emotions perfectly and I've seen many actors, even the one people consider the best actors do sad scenes and honestly it doesn't express as well as just his voice. It still sounds fake and acted while this one actually feels genuine.

[@4Syorha]

Fake and acted is an overstep. Many actors convey emotions to a degree.

[@RightBoyKA-POW]

1:18 I love the fact that the *"No bucket past this point"* sign is still there.

for anyone who can't mentally handle the ending due to it's suicidal themes and the Narrator's dialogue being obviously mentally painful for people who are still going through it there is an optional setting that allows you to skip Zending whilst still getting the badge for it

I never actually finished this section I was playing in a friends computer when i got to the Zen room for the first time And when i heard the narrator begging me to go back I went back into the zen room and chilled to the audio My friend fell asleep in the same room and i just decided to let the audio play for him to sleep and left the house So in my own little world The narrator is still in the zen room Feeling happy.

[@E1craZ4life]

If you wait on the edge long enough in the original game, he does say that.

[@elzzebells]

This game is absolutely brilliant. Spent 30 minutes in this ending because I kept coming back to the zen area every time the Narrator objected (skip button + not stanley endings broke my heart, I didn’t want to break his again) Every time I went back and forward again he would comment and that made me more and more sad. At one point I stayed looking at all the lights to make him happy for a while. I knew how it would end and honestly I would’ve been content with just staying there, as long as it took to keep him happy

[@disneyfan0639]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

[@EmiDucky]

Honestly, I feel like this ending perfectly represents the guilt that comes with suicidal ideation. It almost seems like it could a conversation between someone struggling with wanting to end their own life & someone else who deeply cares about them, blaming them for wanting to end things & begging them not to, because it would hurt them so so much. I don’t think people truly realize how many people hold on purely because they can’t stand the thought of hurting their loved ones, & I think the narrator really personifies that fear perfectly. It’s also kind of fitting that though you can delay it as long as possible, the only way to actually complete the ending is to keep jumping off the stairs, kind of reminiscent of how hopeless it seems for the person wanting to end it. It’s so poetic but painfully real.

[@emsoriginalusername]

This was my first ending. I felt so bad for him but I couldn’t go back 😭

[@SKYWD-HAZEL._]

Wait, you literally PHYSICALLY couldn’t go back?

[@zekes.headphones]

No, when you’re in that ending you can’t go back, you have to do that

[@LunaKryBoo]

My friends asked why I was crying and I sent them this (explaining that this is one of the endings that I got) If they say it's not sad. I will slap them- Update: They said it wasn't even sad-

[@RoastyRoachy]

HOW DARE THEY.

[@florpleborp2275]

They probably need the context of (and likely need to experience) the rest of the game to understand it. Yknow, if you hear of a character dying in a game, its not really that sad if they don’t know or care who they are. Now, your favorite character you’ve watched grow through arcs and become the person who they are, through toil and triumph and downfall, it was them that died. But now it matters because you understand who that character was and is.

3:12 this line, this TERRIBLE line. It wasn't in the original, why the hell did they felt the need to add it? Was it such a necessary change to all of a sudden switch the narrator's personality from devestated and distressed to a scolding nanny? It ruined the whole ending for me.

[@emilsicle]

it sounds so…out of place. like it genuinely sounds like it was meant to go at the beginning of discovering the stairs not after the dialogue preceding it 😭

Actually, the line is in the original game; you just have to wait on the edge a little longer before he says it.
