This is why I never feel too bad for Julia during Drawtectives... She would be doing the same thing to whoever else was the DM.

[@yv334]

You can see it in Drawga

Wow, that really is what Stanley parable is about, isn't it. Just a DM trying to tell his story to a very unruly player.

She'd do much worse

The mischievous look on Julia’s face while she completely defied the narrator the entire time was very wholesome. What a rascal.

“You play like a squirrel” is very accurate lol

[@teflontava7102]

I havent stopped thinking about that quote ever since i heard it

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

Thought of Jacob saying it again when they got the "New new Content".

[@evenoddridge4829]

The dialog of the narrator pleading with Stanley and asking if he's there and if he's alright at 1:01:30 is so legitimately heart wrenching oh my God how can I find and comfort this poor man!

[@renxiemsgaming96]

I felt the same, poor narrator

[@KittyPancake4169]

It really is! I kept saying "oh I hate that, oh no" like someone hug the narrator, he needs his emotional support Stanley

[@sevenwolfe8201]

Yeah I felt very sad during that ending

[@Jarjarvideos]

RIGHT????? I was so heart broken for him XD and it just kept going!!!! Like no!!!! Help him!!!!

[@durdleduc8520]

that VA could make any script convincing i swear.

[@pikksen7905]

i love how the response to the jim button is consistently and universally to repeatedly press it as much as possible upon realizing it's sliding into the floor

[@XanderLars2]

I think the absolutely most ape shit wild part of this as that right when they start playing at 9:51 , julia clicks door 430 exactly 4 times, missing the achievement by 1 click.

[@jacobw.6744]

Oh man, the "and I found it" when Julia found the source of the dripping was perfect. Such a big smile, she's so proud of finding the drip. It's a beautiful moment in Secret Sleepover Society gaming history.

[@kagelobo7444]

The narrator sounds like a frustrated DM and Julia is the chaotic stupid joke character love it

[@jesuisgourde]

The incredible timing of Jacob asking "So are we stuck here?" and then the screen blacking out and the narrator talking about how Stanley needs him to wrap everything up and make sense of it all.

[@austinknight5881]

How the fuck did Julia turn Stanley Parable into a horror game, genuinely impressive fuckery

[@washiro103]

This game was made for Julia, who's whole reason for playing a game is detailing and derailing.

[@frankydoodles5690]

But wouldn't that mean Julia is playing the game as it is intended?

[@flamealana]

I really hoped someone hopped onto the stream while they were all just repeating "treatise, manifesto" over and over

[@soultrax101]

Lol I watched every ending of the game and hours of gameplay when stanley parable first came out, but somehow Julia dug up dialogue options I had never heard within just the first five minutes. Classic

[@Tremain]

Well they added new stuff for this version

[@n4l9bx]

Well it IS the new version, so it's very possible those options didn't exist before :P

[@etcetc1]

"Walk through the red door" Normal people disobeying the narrator: walks through the blue door Julia: does a 180 and stares at the clock for a disconcerting amoung of time

[@abj6920]

The heaven ending is literally rotating buttons that go on for eternity. I feel like Julia would enjoy that ending a lot.

[@BonseyJonsey]

Honestly, I kinda wanna hug the narrator The part where we're looking at Stanley from above, the narrator sounds so upset

[@arcaneworms]

It’s nice to know that apparently Julia too plays like a squirrel. Whenever I play The Stanley Parable I can’t help but stare at every detail and hope for something more, it feels like it’s all put in place for a reason. The doors and rooms you can’t open, the paintings on the walls, the papers on the floor that you can barely even read. I noticed that in the new content area the gray room where the Easter egg of the appearance of a second Stanley is in is blocked off by boxes, and to me that was interesting because it felt like a simple obstacle meant to be put in place for you to wonder why you couldn’t cross it. That’s exactly what I’ve wondered since the deluxe version came out, among many other things. I could talk for hours about this game and my obsession over its details. Needless to say I really adore it and I’m happy you guys are playing it!

[@AkumaDayo]

Honestly that's me with every game lmao, I check every little detail 💀

[@juhor.7594]

If you just jumped to 1:20:52 without any context, you'd think they've gone mad.

[@darrenmills3943]

I feel like the dynamic between stanley and the narrator is exactly the dynamic between julia and jacob

[@weaselwolf]

As a Dungeon Master, I sympathize heavily with the Narrator

[@JordanBl]

Jacob and Julia were stunningly in time with the "treatise, manifesto" chant.

[@DreamWizardMedia]

"But it's making you laugh" Ugh. Straight up goals. 🥰🥰🥰

[@hunterpowers2568]

01:39:18

[@jacobw.6744]

Yeah that moment is heartwarming and sums up a large part of why their dynamic is very entertaining to so many.

[@ijlayugan4149]

1:37:00Its so hilarious when Julia sees a door or almost any item she immediately goes to click it. And just when Jacob thought that was over, she still to tried to open the doors even after multiple endings lmao. She "plays like a squirrel" but he still loves her

[@tycol322]

I love that one ending is as simple as getting up and closing his office door and another unplugging the phone

[@paulunga]

Haha, this had such chaotic energy, with Julia whipping around and clicking everywhere and Jacob getting fed up with it. xD I really hope you get back to this game at some point, even if it's in your free time. There's a lot more fun and interesting stuff they added.

[@Jimmmmmmmm94]

I would be freaked out if I played this game and used the "name of player" button

[@hambram21]

Just the straight 30 seconds of them saying “Stanley” is everything

[@tsarina7832]

Secret Sleepover Society is the best thing to happen to bisexuals since The Mummy and X-Files

[@jannecapelle_art]

that "change your perception" song was such a bop actually lmao

[@TheLadyLiddell]

As much as I love Julia's chaotic gameplay, it always hurts a little bit when she leaves an area before the narrator is finished.

[@teeethtoomanyteeeth6174]

The dialogue skip timeline was the coolest, so out of no where

[@doctordeathdefying132]

It’s my favorite one. I was watching a different streamer and he would wait a couple of seconds before hitting the button. He got to the ‘is never the end is never the’ part and the entire chat was freaking out. It was terrifying

[@MrLegendofLP]

This is my first Secret Sleepover Society I’ve ever watched and Julia is channeling so much Ogalvy energy and I’m so here for it. Just… the steady mischievous grin accompanied by complete silence is so hilarious.

[@maneslion]

I love watching this knowing full well that if I were in Jacob's position I too would be regretting letting Julia play

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

I appreciate the chapter titles. 2/3 of the game is "Gaming?" and the last 1/3 is "Gaming." Very Stanley Parable. Also my headcanon is that the friend who followed the narrator's directions and then asked what the point of the game was was karina, and she did it passive aggressively to spite jacob.

[@galaxycat9966]

Karina absolutely would do that

[@Sleeper_6875]

That place you fell down into finally after rocket league was the original build of the game, it was a half life mod Also the game dev is dougdoug’s brother they did a stream together talking about the game and playing it

I think whenever I tell a story from now on, I'm going to preface it by saying that its about a hypothetical real person named Rupert.

[@abj6920]

The fact that the "skip button" bit just makes most streamers go "oh, I'll show you!" and not skip anything is fantastic. Content greed at its finest

[@pupsinsbarks]

Julia's reaction to the French song in the Memory Zone is my favorite thing and so relatable as a bilingual French speaker, lmao. "Wait, that was actually French, right? What the - lmao the heavy accent on Memory Zone - wait what even is this accent - Canadian???" all with the silliest look of pleased confusion

[@sourwitch2340]

The way the narrator pronounce "The end is never the end", it sounded like he was saying "Is Never the end?". Which I think is a great question! Is never the end?

The timing on the hole scene right before being woken up was incredible. I laughed so hard and I've watched it way too many times.

[@caitthegreat2102]

Treatise manifesto when jacob starts going off beat be how my brain sounds

[@Demonsta]

Ok so for some reason I couldn't brain out what was on Jacobs shirt because the first thing I saw was the shoulder where two gengars intersect, and I somehow interpreted that the pattern was just a bunch of wario mustaches, like just the nose+mustache+smile and I was like yeah leave it to Jacob to work that look. 😂

[@unkownnumber6778]

When i first watched Markiplier play this game ten years ago, I was fifteen. I thought it was a really cool concept of how office work is soul crushing. Now, as a 25 year old working at a big company in a cubicle where the company only knows me by my employee number (5 digits, not 3 btw), that opening scene hits a whole lot harder.

[@Tremain]

Some of the original endings were trippy, but that hole ending was of the charts

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

Oh good, this game was made for Julia.

[@scarylion1roar]

this is honestly just Executive Function Disorder: the Game and I LOVE IT!

[@MissMisnomer_]

No joke, the end of the 1:33:25 run, where we're just staring out into nothingness and then return to our regularly scheduled normality really left me in a weird kind of mood for a few hours. I had to step away and like, stare at the ceiling for a little bit. Got me thinking all kinds of things. This game is a masterpiece.

[@cosmicstarmie2180]

Was not expecting to hear Jacob say “let’s wreck this hole” today, not gonna lie

[@Spirit529]

Honestly I loved this gameplay, the narrator always has something to say and there's always some funny shit just lying around.

[@derekhasabrain]

If I were in Julia’s position I would be doing what she’s doing, and if I were in Jacob’s position, I’d be doing what he’s doing. I’m both a rule breaker and a rule follower. I like order and I also like chaos. Why am I like this

[@brisby169]

I was NOT prepared for Jacob's outfit. It's not something I would've considered a possibility but it's freaking great.

[@StraveTube]

"We're gonna ruin this hole." jacob no

I really really thought the settings achevment was going to defeat Julia's crazy energy.

[@johnyesjustjohn]

I just thought of a crossover: “This is the story of a man named Stanley… who was on observation duty…”

[@DrStovepipe]

For the console releases of the ultra deluxe edition , the steam reviews are called pressurized gas for copyright reasons (I assume) which made me chuckle when playing it

[@CurmudgeonMedia]

wasn't expecting Alex Hirsch to show up, but it's a welcome surprise

[@IzumisChild]

"Sequels are good: Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar" had me howling! I don't mind it but I didn't even know it existed until a babysitter brought it to my house one day and said it was the second movie. I had the original Aladdin and Aladdin King of Thieves and thought those were the only movies. XD To be fair, King of Thieves is far superior to Return of Jafar.
