The Stanley Parable - Wife ending

[@EeveeFromAlmia]

“Who would want to commit their lives to you?” Big words coming from the man who has committed his life to Stanley.

[@incogcheeto7062]

That phrase makes you think when you have no one and have been single a long time.

@Daina Wire Why would you do that. Commit a crime like that. Jail now. Vagabond.

[@nonamelel1572]

"Stanley, the next time it tells you to push a button, do not do it." *doesn't push a button for 2 minutes and nothing happens*

[@ishitupsidedown]

Yes. Wait bruh. I waited for 1 hour

[@ChestersonJack]

That’s the point. What the narrator is trying to get you to do is just stop playing the game. Of course nothing happens, he’s trying to get you to quit the game entirely.

[@4Syorha]

@@ChestersonJack i thought that's more of the museum ending's message. I saw this as more of a reflection of Stanley's life through the Narrator even subtly hinting it's his own life he's talking about, which makes this even sadder and deep.

[@jacobstarling5835]

Easily the game's darkest ending

[@vigilant4987]

Jacob Starling haven’t you seen the suicide ending? It’s sad and dark

[@wilson6448]

the insanity ending is dark too

[@normanwaterman9877]

I think the self destruct ending is on of the scarier ones

[@ryx10]

night shark 115 ending was my favourite

[@Colon_D]

What about "THe bROoM CloSEt eNdiNG"

[@DrickRT]

Scarily enough this was almost my *first* ending. Got out cuz the moment that manequin appeared and when the narrator talks about the death of stanley i wussed out.

[@crabofsquid]

Same, when I saw that ending with the mannequin it made me afraid the game would have a jump scare, in every dark room I entered. I couldn't tell you why.

[@avacadotoast5571]

I got the "Coward" ending first on accident

[@thevioletskull8158]

I always wondered what the true ending of this game is: It could be the happy ending because you follow the story like you’re “supposed” too It could be the insanity/dream ending because it shows Stanley in the supposed real world It could be this ending because it tells about Stanley and his bad life decisions It could also technically be museum ending because the lady saids that there is no real way to win the game other then not to play it It could also be the real person ending because you played the game but broke it and once the player was gone what was left was Stanley but Stanley is just a player model,so he can’t make decisions,so the game never gets played again No, obviously it’s the broom closet ending!

[@Cotcan]

The broom closet ending is my favorite.

I think the real ending is the one where Stanley doesn't make a choice, which is the ending where you as the player can finally win against the narrator. Also the credits roll

[@abacaxigomes4416]

I've always found it amazing how this game manages to make the player never know exactly which ending is really the "true ending" each route gives a different idea of ​​what's really going on. is stanley real? is stanley daydreaming and detaching himself from reality more and more? is this world just a game and stanley is just an empty shell controlled by a player? Is the narrator stanley or someone completely different? is everything just a metaphor for the gaming industry? or even to the nature of narrative creation? everything is left to interpretation and I love it!

[@somethingsurvivalandgames8498]

Gamer Greaner like fallout 4 ? Good picture choice

[@nb-eq6rw]

Something Survival probably not lol. Fallout 4 is trash

[@bestinterest]

it distortes the game after you un plug the phone and the narrator tells you about the something stupid that everyone knows and when it finished the game distorts. the game can be more distorted when you go the 2 sets of door that the narrator teleported you in and you go in the wrong door

[@literalcarman6455]

The part with wall appearing outta nowhere scared the shit out of me

[@sirlambchops.]

Horror games: eh Random wall: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@EsmeeHulskamp]

This is the creepiest ending

[@noobish]

one of the best endings, it gives me existential dread

[@Totallysleepingrn]

Can’t believe I didn’t get the “sorry you’re in my story now” line because I refused to move because I was so incredibly unnerved by my “wife” so I just face the wall and pushed buttons when needed

Is it just me, or is his voice kinda growly and threatening there..... Like, he means BUSINESS

[@benjaminsandoval1920]

But if you dont follow his orders, you are indirectly following his directions, so, hust press the buttons that are said to you lol

[@YoSoyAlvinElBatero]

This was my first ending, I was just mesmerized by how much the Narrator talked, but also by how he talked

[@ProjectASkate]

Well, that crushed my hopes and dreams..... Edit: I didn't complete the comment this is what I meant. At 1:57

[@hamedalzarooni442]

I just realized that at the end stanley dies because he was ordered to.

[@seanguo110]

God, that makes so much more sense

[@Mykostyne]

I think this ending represents the player becoming Stanley as through the ending all you do is push buttons as the narrator speaks about Stanley who thinks his choices matter which could represent how no matter what you do, you end back in Stanley’s office.

[@joeykristopher]

*Sorry, but your in my story now..*

[@FishyRadioactivity030]

I really can't help but think that this ending says things about the narrator instead who is living days that feel the same. Which he would decide to daydream of what he would wish would happen in his daily life, deciding to make Stanley do the deciding for him and go on adventures with him wrapping each ending up and going on another, a loop of possibilities. ofc im aware that this is a game and all and he's aware but i just find it interesting to think about

[@Mustlord_Guitar_Ambient]

For the True Ending, simply uninstall the game after 5:20.

Or just quit the game, like the lady said in the Museum Ending.

[@AloisAgos]

Spending your time pushing buttons, escaping the mundane reality. Did the game just shame me for being a gamer?

[@noahborthwick3231]

Finally someone got the point. Yes that’s literally the point of this ending. “Work” is actually a metaphor for gaming here. Stanley craves choice, but every choice he has has already been pre written before he even turned on the game. We all see that Stanley’s job is mind nummingly boring. But then, when we get this ending, we realize we have literally been doing Stanley’s job this entire time. There is a way to not press the next button the game asks. Quit the game. Probably the reason this game is the only game I know of with an achievement you get for not playing it

@@noahborthwick3231 Which is also why I have a love-hate relationship with Stanley Parable. It's a brilliantly written game, with amazing atmosphere working to convey the stupidest and most pretentious point imaginable. "Video games will never give you true choice" is an obvious point and at the end it just boils down to "Video games bad". It's as ridiculous as criticising a book for having you follow a story.

I'm thinking the game entirely takes place in Stan;ey's imagination, and the narrator IS Stanley.

Yeah there was a ending where the narrator says he just came up with Stanley in his mind because he was bored.

It's easy to get bored during this scene but it still takes center place in my head after years. It's not a positive message and pushes me into nihilism a bit but it still applies to so many things in my life

In my opinion, any ending could be the real ending, because if you say x ending is the "real" one, the game is always going to disprove it in one way or another. That's the whole point of the game.
