This is incredible!! Thank you so much for using my music for such an amazing project ❤
The animation quality, storytelling, action sequences, and sound design are all out of this world, and it's such an honor to hear a song of mine as the backdrop to this masterpiece 🙏

I lowkey wonder what the actual Narrator from the Stanley Parable would think about this story. :0 Like, his general comments on it. He loves himself some good storytelling.

[zeroloch]

The fact the narrator/boss would rather see him alive and trapped then dead and free really just *chef kiss* makes this such a gem. That on rewatches you can even SEE him figure this out when he thinks of how many times he killed him before and find that first gear….. stunning work

[zelda]

I just realized something... When Stanley, the office guy, is glitching into his younger office self, well, since this is kind of an AU of the Stanley Parable, when he died in the game, everything resets, and we know the clock is connected to that time travel... when he's lying there, glitching back, his body wants to go back, but it can't come back, because the clock, which his life is connected to, is broken. The worst part is, he was killed by a being that exists because of a piece of the clock that was meant to save him.

[csmopw]

Narrator has this look of guilt at 3:23 like he doesn't want to create another clock thing but knows if he wants to save Stanley, it's the only way to do so.

[bumblingbeezy]

The story you are able to tell without having your characters speak a single word is amazing.

[Seeks_stuff]

Those glitchy monster thing designs are TERRIFYING, something about the way they move feels so unnatural in the best way possible.
And the story is very powerful too, even without dialogue you still manage to shove so much emotion into every moment.
You just can't miss

[RedFromTeaWars]

The fact that she can lipsync without lipsyncing just goes to show how freaking amazing she is

[myaltaccount]

Silly little detail I noticed: at 1:14 when Stanley gets hit by the tv monster his body starts glitching like the world is trying to reset him but *can't* because the watch broke. Which is weird because he doesn't die immediately after. Which tells us that the conditions for reset isn't death, but merely mortal injury. Which means: Stanley's never actually died before, because the clock always reset him before that could happen. At least until 2:44 of course. These facts combined makes 3:32 even more heartbreaking with the added knowledge that this was his first time actually *dying.*

SADIST YOU ARE A FLIPPING GENIUS

[mrsbasia]

I love that the OfficeWorker is obviously more skilled in combat, but he was hurt right off the cusp protecting Clockman, thus severely handicapped- it’s just a nice, consistent trait that keeps in line with their characters. And it felt fitting that Clockman spent all of last episode overseeing and trying to keep OfficeWorker in line and in code, just like all the other office workers, that now he’s responsible for protecting him from their malicious code this time around. (I felt that, although controlling, at least Clockman’s realm was safe and stable).
I wonder what Exiting the system would mean, for the both of them? Would Clockman even be allowed to leave?

[darkfossill]

I just wanna say, as a fan of the Digital-Eldrich asthetic... the way those creatures move gives me life.

[creativejuice]

It blows my mind how creative this is. I understand it’s loosely based off of Stanley Parable but it is still so unique and such an incredible story! It really is stunning.

[unhly.ffspring]

I loved how at 3:34 Stanley started crying. I'm assuming it's because he just died and Narrator reset him to save his life. Made me cry a bunch. I love this so much

[OxalicCrystals]

One thing I love about this is how Stanley seems much more competent which obviously makes sense for the story since he's been fighting the narrator for potentially hundreds of loops. Meanwhile, the narrator has always been reliant on technology to do the work for him. Therefore his reaction speed is lower when faced with danger (at 1:10 Stanley pulls him out of the way). Also, Stanley is the one who sets out to find him while he boards himself up in a room. When Stanley enters the room, the narrator turns around to defend himself and sees Stanley in the middle of the room. If it was one of the creatures, it could have already attacked in that time once again showing that he's not really equipped for this situation. The only way he survives at all is the fact that he's not human and the creatures seem to be after Stanley as a priority.

[irinsmoshpit]

I love the little details of Stanly (office guy) beginning to grow some stubble and having slightly more grown out hair, gives the fact that He and the other guy have been surviving in that world a while.

My SAD-istfaction towards seeing an animation SERIES made by SAD-ist and inspired by The Stanley Parable is absolutely immense. Amazing work =]

[TheHedgehogGiraffe]

2:58 - 3:04 SAD-ist never fails with the *breathtaking* effects animation.

Every animation studio has certain hallmarks of their animation. For Bones, it’s their fire and action scenes; for Ghibli, it’s their water and food; for KyoAni, it’s their eyes and backgrounds.

For SAD-ist, the gravity of her animations and the emphasis she puts on the *eyes* of her characters are fantastic.

[halognn]

I will NEVER get over watching Sad-ist's journey going from making DSMP animatics to now making sick as hell full on animations that look just as good as any animated show or movie today! it is just insanely incredible to see her progress and growth! I love it so much!

[darkness_hound]

I love how the narrator smiles at Stanley when he discovers the exit!!That little scene when he helps him to not fall while going down that ramp and just...cares for him in general is so sweet for me :'D It gives me like "I have already adopted you and I don't want you to leave but I'll let you if that makes you happy" vibes

[lamuliz]

THE CHARACTER DESIGNS THE CONCEPT THE ANIMATION THIS IS SO GORGEOUS
