Hello, I am Trickle! It is such an honor to have my song, Ghost Town, used as the music in this incredible animation! SAD is such an amazing artist, and I am so happy to see creativity bloom in ways that I never thought would happen with something of mine. Thank you, SAD, for this honor, and thank you to the wonderful fans of animation for watching! I hope that you enjoy 💙 God bless!

0:54 the fact that SAD subtly included that giant swing-jump from Yellow Zone here. the attention to detail is insane

Let us all never forget that the chat kept calling Stanley and The Narrator "BBG", that was the moment in history.

I've watched this a couple times now and I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that The Narrator blows up and for a moment Stanley is mortified-- its so perfect the emotions are so palpable.

One thing I don’t see talked about enough is the incredible use of colours! It’s clear to me that Narrator has the bright yellow and Stanley the neon pink (which I adore as contrasts), and where in the first animation the backgrounds were more yellow and the cameras had the yellow lights, now everything has the pink tinge instead. Also, in the first one we see that Narrator has completely yellow eyes while he has control of the clock, and when Stanley takes it off him, his eyes become normal again, showing that the clock itself has some kind of power over them. Now that Stanley has the new clock that Narrator had to make to save his life last time, he’s struggling against that power too (the evil reflection with the completely pink eyes), but he manages not to give in just long enough to escape- without Narrator.

Oh my goodness, the fact that even the watermark moves when he grabs the screen border... that's some next level fourth wall breaking right there. Amazing.

To be completely honest, this would take a LOT of work to animate to perfection with that big action scene where hes running on the tapes and doing parkour and shit so yall better appreciate the creator

Canon the Stanley parable: haha narrator wants you to follow his story and gets mad in funky ways when you don’t Fanon the Stanley parable:

this person is responsible for keeping the fandom alive

On the technical side, from the Dream SMP animations to now everything has really gotten a lot better. The way the animation flows is extremely hypnotizing

The attention to detail, the way the black bars move, the way Stanley's reflection stops right at "the mirror" and shows it's eye right at "see empty eyes", the scene where the movie tape reflects Stanley but with the skull symbol then has Blank Decay Stanley jump out at him, the parallels with Yellow Zone, the juicy "was it all a dream?" cliffhanger, the effects, the song chosen for this and just how well it's used to combine with and, in a way, lead the animation, the smoothness of it all, ALL OF IT. GOD IT'S AMAZING. Anyway, I'm now going to analyze this frame by frame repeatedly and see what my practicing animator arse can learn from this masterful work of art, because WOW.

Did anyone notice her logo move with the animation? It’s small things like that that I appreciate in animations. Keep up the good work Sad-ist! Edit: nice

Sad literally slingshot me right back into the Stanley Parable community and I'm HERE for it. It is so insanely cool to watch their animation style grow and develop, and I'm so FASCINATED to see what happens between Stanley and Narrator. I could not be more excited. Thank you so much for making these, Sad.

The way you made use of the black bars and had Stanley actually interacting with them throughout the animation was absolutely incredible. Your animation style never fails to amaze and the work you put into these always pays off, incredible as always Sad-ist :)

Ok this is my theory: Yellow Zone shows Stanley stuck in a time loop, trying to escape and dying each time. These are not the only times he's tried, it just shows the final couple attempts, the last of which has Stanley realising where the Narrator is controlling the defences from, and turning from the exit to instead attack the narrator himself. He breaks the watch causing the world itself to begin to decay as seen in Blank Decay. Here Stanley and the Narrator have teamed up to survive in the decaying world against the glitch monsters. The Narrator still has some power to control the world, which he harnesses by absorbing the glitch monsters as they attempt to fire, but this clearly seems to cause some corruption to himself. Upon Stanley dying it becomes clear that the Narrator actually really cares about Stanley, and harnesses the power to remake the clock and turn back time to resurrect him. Upon turning the time back, moving from Blank Decay to Blue Lies the Narrator has left his control room to see Stanley in person - it's clear he's given up on trying to stop him, perhaps after all the time they spent together in Blank Decay. However, Stanley is angry at being resurrected, perhaps because of the trauma of dying repeatedly and slams the narrator against the wall, taking the watch. It's clear even in Blank Decay that the two argued a lot, with my interpretation being that Stanley blames the Narrator for the world becoming this way because he had to break it to escape, while the Narrator believes what he did was right. It's not really clear at all why the Narrator has been stopping Stanley from escaping. Perhaps he believes he's protecting Stanley in some way? Or perhaps Stanley escaping would kill the narrator? Either way, as Stanley goes to escape in Blue Lies it shows his clear trauma from dying repeatedly. Then, the world begins to break, revealing that he is in fact trapped within an animation. His past death from Blank Decay watches him from the mirror and then reaches out to him from the film reel. I'm not entirely sure what this is meant to represent, perhaps his trauma or my favourite interpretation - his predetermined destiny of dying in the animation. Using this interpretation, as he tries to escape, the animation tries to close the bars on him, changing scene, perhaps to his death, but he physically grabs the bars, leaping through, creating his own destiny. As he finally reaches the doors he looks back seeing the narrator he's left behind. He hesitates for a moment, as despite his hatred thanks to what the narrator did to him, in Blank Decay he did begin to care about him. However, he dismissed the thought, and goes through the exit door, taking him to the bedroom at the end. Throughout the animations Stanley is the only one who attempts to reach the exit door, and when seeing the exit in Blank Decay Stanley seems excited while the Narrator is not. It seems the Narrator either can't leave or doesn't want to. The falling glasses towards the end of this animation seem to imply that Stanley leaving is killing the narrator. I do not think this is the end of the series, partly because "it was all a dream" is a disappointingly boring and lazy ending so I hope that's not what SAD-ist is going for. I have a few theories about the ending: one is that this is not the real world, and Stanley has woken up either into the opening scene of Portal 2 or woken up in Superliminal. Another is that this IS the real world, but he truly was in a simulation and is going to go back to try to save the narrator. In the Portal or Superliminal scenario he might also go back for the narrator and work with him to escape this new simulation too.

The Watermark moving with the Black Borders is an amazing touch

YESSSSSSS!! I've been waiting for 3/4 months and I KNOW it'll pay off. I've been hyper-fixating on this series and even joined TSP Fandom Because of it!

I am absolutely delighted!! I have so many questions: Was it a dream? Or some alternate reality? simulation??? anyway, your work is amazing!! the animation is smooth, energetic and pleasing to the eye. the songs are appropriate, and all the animation goes with them to the rhythm, which makes viewing easy and organic. The relationships between the characters and the plot are otoically revealed and understood without words. it is a masterpiece💗

YOO i just realised that whenever the dead stanley grabbs stanleys face, thats the stanley that died in blank decay cuz of the jacket, so that probably means that those projection strips were his past deaths haunting him probably saying "bro you bouta die".

Personal theory (explanation???) on this because I am INVESTED (Sorry lmao) This is really the first time Stanley’s actually ever made it to the exit door. In Yellow Zone he went for the Narrator instead, which breaking the clock would’ve caused Blank Decay. Although he does get to the door in Blank Decay, I’ll point out the exit light above it is flickering, so somehow it could be broken or something. When Stanley reaches the exit door, that would theoretically destroy the world, and also the Narrator, and when the Narrator dies/disappears the story/world also falls apart, which would explain 0:38 - 0:42 (the tape is burnt off at the end where the narrator used to be. Obviously by the look od desperation on Stanley’s face at 0:42, he just learnt this, and he hesitates before the world starts breaking for underneath him, which is why I think he was put into the fully little tape void. The tape void is sort of how the whole resetting Stanley thing works, and would possibly be the 'backbone' of the world. Or could be completely metaphorical, but... yk! He definitely changes his mind though and decides to leave after he sees his past lives at 0:46, and especially at 0:48. (Come on, we all saw how aggressively we ripped the screen back open and the look on his face at 0:50, he basically stumbled back into the screen) He starts running back towards the exit door again, and it’s the first time he’s ever actually gotten to and through the door! yay! And it’s all a dream! (But what if it isn’t!) Two things to note in his room in this scene is the book that says ‘The Beginner’s’, most likely a beginners guide to.. something. BUT, more importantly! The other tab on the computer says ‘Narrator’ on it! (It also looks the have a ‘K’ or a 'R' next to it, but that could also easily just be an X.) This means that if it was a dream, he remembers it, and could possibly doing research on it, or the two worlds are connected! (Or the same world!) Also just a nice little note that right at the end the window fades to a yellow screen :) Random Edit: Alternatively I also thought that's where the name 'clock out' could come from, like 'clocking out' of his dream??? idrk lmao) ANYWAY! Goddamn I love this series 😭 Never stop. Please lmk what other people think because I would genuinely love to know

He be thick

The story continues! I cannot wait, this has been your greatest achievement so far, it’s very inspiring to see how far you’ve come!

Shows even in a narration, the narrator can never truly leave Stanley Parable. In the actual game, only stanley is ever really capable of leaving. And it shows as the narrator constantly resets to the time Stanley returns to the office. Its kinda sad to be honest. Narrator doesnt have a story without Stanley. But he is crossed when his world hurts him. And so he chooses to let him go. It was still terrifying to be eaten by code and still painful to watch Stanley leave, but he accepted it. And Stanley kept his choice firm to want to leave the parable and go home. Even if he felt bad for allowing the narrator to disappear.

I LOVE HOW STANLEYS WALKING SYNCS WITH THE SONG SO MUCH AT 0:24

Ahh this is so cool!! The opening itself gave me chills with the title "Blue Lies" coming in right with the music! The flow and timing of it was spot on! The subtle movements from the characters that exhibit their thoughts/emotions is so good! The tightening of his grip around the pocketwatch, the little breath right before he gets shoved, the pupils getting smaller!! All of these small little details tell such a great story! I loved how his previous deaths came up so many times throughout the animation! Along with the music you can just tell these memories of death are haunting this poor guy. Every appearance of the pink eyed version was so cool! Especially when it appeared in the roll of film. That death was different than the others, significantly so. That life broke the pattern of all the others and seeing it represented through the film was so cool! Ah there were so many cool actions and details that I could keep ranting about! But I just wanted to say thank you for creating these intriguing characters and story. Your animations are so amazing and inspiring!

God i love how this is storyboarded, if it even was in the first place. How it's constantly changing and moving with peerspectives and motion. Nothing is the same and it blows my mind by how good every second of this animation is.

Kinda sad that this was shorter but this definitely cheered me up in a time where I really need it. Thank you so much SAD-ist. The journey I’ve had as a viewer ever since the DSMP animatics to now was quite a ride, and I hope it never ends. It’s incredible how much you’ve grown as an artist throughout all these works, and I can’t wait to see more!

This video got me into the tsp fandom, so literally thank you so much for making this. if i wouldn't have seen this, i would be a little more distant with a third of my friends, plus i might have put down art for good. Being in the TSP fandom really gave me a character who i actually wanted to draw, which made me willingly draw, which made me start learning animation. Let me just say, you make it look so easy and effortless, i truly understand how difficult animation is now. SAD-ist, please know that you are an inspiration to so many people, and your art is freaking fantastic!

I’m confident that Sadist jumpstarted a whole entire trend with their original concept

The plot thickens! That transition from the door to his bed was very smooth, I love it

0:50 I love how even the watermark on the bottom left follows the screen streatch, Sadist keeps adding the subtlest differences

Sadist please PLEASE don’t leave us with this, it’s beautiful, wonderful, I love it, but we NEED MORE.

Lets go! Even with two animations, I’m already so invested in this storyline. Can’t wait for this :D

I LOVE HOW THE LOGO ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ALSO MOVED WHEN HE FORCIBLY OPENED THE CLOSING SCREEN!!! THESE DETAILS MAKE YOUR ANIMATION SO SPECIAL

im obsessed with "g-g-ghost that tried living a tired life" part 0:30

I've only now noticed, but at 0:48 the tape that the blank decay stanley goes from seems damaged, as if it was added on or cut, possibly related to the fact that in blank decay that was supposed to be his permadeath but I'm not quite sure, maybe it just is that the death is different from all the other ones or maybe I'm just making all this up.

The Narrator's gone... Crab Rave. No but surely we'll come back to him somehow, right? Anyway this animation is really fluid as always. I like how not only did you capture the creepy vibe of the many other versions of Stanley who died, but made the appearance of apocalypse Stanley the most impactful. The idea of Stanley finally getting away and going to real life thinking he'll be happy only to have the realization that, once again, the end is never the end... Ugh this is so awesome, I'm so invested. I just hope they'll be okay by the end of this.

Found an Easter egg at 1:10 if you play and pause repeatedly at .25x speed you will find a yellow TV screen with yellow bars (text) underneath. This almost confirms this is another simulation or "trick" for those who thought this was a sort of finale. Also if that's not convincing enough stanley woke up on top of his bedsheets :)

i just want to say that i have NEVER seen unravelling film roll portrayed as a loss of control. also i absolutly love the effect you did with them. That film roll idea just motivated me to move onward with my creative projects so thanks for that one SAD-ist!!

This is an amazing animation and I've noticed a few things I want to point out about this animation and the others in the Clock Out series 1.Based on the other videos in the series,( mainly Blank Decay) the narrator isn't the one in control here. He might be in a position of power yes but not completely he may be controlled by the clock or something possessing it . 2. In this animation I noticed that at 0:48 the film is broken. This may represent Stanley's cycle of life and death in some way. 3. The office seems to be some kind of prison, trapping Stanley and maybe even the narrator and when Stanley wants to escape it tries to contain him by deconstructing itself and in 0:38 breaking completely. 4. In that one scene in Blank Decay where Stanley and Narrator are arguing I believe its because when Stanley broke the clock it sent them to that dimension. 5. Also In Blank Decay the monsters had gears inside them. Maybe the monsters were possessing the clocks gears and when it was broken it corrupted the dimension? Anyways this is a very nice animation Edit:I noticed some other stuff I have a second idea about 0:48 maybe the reason why the film broke was because the death was unplanned Also 0:19 shows that there are two separate Stanleys I believe that this could be'normal' Stanley and subconscious Stanley since it all ended when Stanley woke up. Maybe someone was trying to control him? Yellow =Narrator and the Monsters Red =the surroundings when something is wrong (the camera dots turn red instead of yellow) Blue = Stanley

Never thought I'd have this much reaction/emotions over only a minute's worth of animation- the way you animate every action, every expression and time it so well to the song. I was at the edge of my seat because of how the story was going, I yelled so loudly "HUH?" at the end. I enjoy both short and long animations you do but dang! this cliffhanger is going to haunt me-

This is shorter than the others but it was so worth the wait. I love the way the world sort of breaks into the film rolls and dark void. I love how Stanley looks back at the very end and sees the Narrator's glasses but then gets sucked into the exit doors. The animation was so clean I love it!

I believe this ending is not the end, but there will be other endings. It's because the ending of "Oh, it's just a dream" and the end of Narrator are so empty. I can't believe the end of that long struggle is just a dream. I think SAD-ist is hiding something more profound than this ending. Actually I really like this series, so I want to watch it more. Thank you for making such a great video. SAD-IST!

I love Clock 0ut an unreasonable amount

0:50 I love how the watermark bends when Stanley pry’s the black bars open that’s a nice touch 😔👌

I am completely obsessed with the new Clock 0ut series just as manyyyyy others here lol

I CLICKED AND HEARD TRICKLE’S VOICE AND IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE DESCRIPTION OMG

Unbelievably cool, oh my god. Long comment, be warned 0:08 the way yellow doesn't even try to fight back. And the small stiffening in his shoulder before blue hits! So many details 0:19 u think it's worth noting that the reflection's eyes are BRIGHT red, which usually symbolizes damage in Clock 0ut. Is it just a very literal representation of his deaths haunting him or something else??? I wonder 0:20 ohhhh the way this sequence is a parallel to the sequence in yellow zone when he first opens the door!! The door opening the exit door in center frame, the sliding in of the image of him and the clock like a comic book. Just. Such a cool representation of how it's all a circle! It goes back to the beginning! 0:23 the light at the top of the camera has changed from yellow to red. That's probably significant somehow. And all the different deaths! The way they really give a scale for how many times it must have taken for him to get to the point in yellow zone where he was able to escape! 0:30 if you slow down the frames, you can see the clapperboard, the camera, the clock, and the clapperboard again, not necessarily in that order. The camera light is red again, and in the reflection(?) of the camera you can see the clapper with all the information scratched out. The first time the clapper shows up, the amount of takes is scratched out, but the second time, it clearly says 1. I'm thinking the "roll" label is a nod to the amount of frames in this animation, considering how high the number is. I can't read the name of the director, but the production name states "Clock 0ut". Scene 3. Reminds me of the Truman show, honestly, the whole animation series- with the clever fourth wall breaks, the idea of a man trapped in an artificial world that revolves around him, and the semi-malicious operator that oversees it. 0:40 everything's falling apart! I love how the new background is actually black, like the one from Blank Decay instead of the grayish background from Yellow Zone. And I love how each frame changing in the animation ACTUALLY changes the animation frame And the fact that Blue looks genuinely distressed when yellow eyes disappears despite being understandably pissed at him 0:43 the way the cracks around him form the shape of the screens from yellow zone and of the monsters from blank decay! He also no longer has the clock in his hands- 0:48 the appearance of his apocalypse self- and the way it breaks the frame when it reaches for him 0:50 just. This entire sequence- from him pulling the borders apart, to running across the film strip, the brief moment where he's in the air and he has dizzy eyes, the fact that there's TWO different colors of LIGHTING from the reels and the background and the same massive swing-jump from yellow zone! 0:58 I love this form of non-verbal storytelling. Like, it's reiterating the fact that yellow eyes is gone. And the anger and grief on blue's face before he opens the door. I think it's interesting that yellow's glasses are still there, and in Blank Decay, you can see him picking out glasses in the ruins of an optometrist store. And something else- bringing it back to 0:43 - the clock disappears when yellow does, and he made the clock, but his glasses don't, and in yellow zone, during the sketchy bit, the fact that the clock and yellow's outlines are drawn in the exact same color while the glasses are drawn in gray- idk, just seems like it means something. Also I think it's funny, because Blank Decay established that he's not even human, so he probably doesn't even need glasses. He's doing it for the style 1:00 he wakes up! And the brief moment of silence in the music as he does! And that transition was so SMOOTH my god. And he has a normal bedroom(?) and is actually a real person? 1:04 the beginners guide? And the patron list is strawberries! Sorry for the long rant! Any replies are appreciated, I'd love to talk about this or just clean up the commnet

I’ve enjoyed this story through all it’s tellings, and I can’t wait to see how it continues. You are a magnificent artist and animator and I wish you a colorfully creative and enjoyable future!~

0:37 I loved how he fell lmao. Also how you make the aspect ratio bars intense during the action sequence (and how the MC interacts with them as a whole is so fun) and disappear when he wakes up. Also he's FREE?? Are they both free or just him?? So many questions, I love what you're doing with this series

Okay everyone, start taking notes, because THIS is how you make the whole "And it was all just a dream" ending WORK

Jesus the facial expressions are SO GOOD. Also still love how you make the music narrate the action. 10000/10 as always

I’m so excited!! One of my favorite animators and a favorite youtuber in a collab I never knew I needed! I don’t know the fandom behind the animatic, but I know it’ll be amazing! If anyone seeing this comment hasn’t heard of Trickle, he’s a song artist on UKposts who mostly covers English adaptations of Vocaloid and J-Pop music+anime openings. He also has a couple original songs, one of them being featured in this video- both are bangers! His stuff is pretty underrated, and I’d highly recommend checking his channel out!

Oh wow, i absolutly love the 4th wall breaking animation, especially when he pries open the transition frames. This is so incredibly cool and its amazing to see your progress as an animator over the years. The movement, the framing, everything is just so cool! Love this, very good job :D

Oh my god this is AMAZING especially at 0:49, the film and the animation and the person coming out and the person terrified by it *PERFECTION*

The Beginners Guide book🖤 1:05

JESUS this is so good, its so in line with the original inspiration while absolutely blasting it out of the park in its own way with its own story and meaning. ive watched the first two probably a hundred times each by this point, your animation and storytelling are just so beautiful and well made, the way you convey whats happening and the way the world works without the characters ever uttering a word, just. mwah. amazing

THERE NEEDS SOME STANNARRATOR TO APOLOGISE FOR THAT OMFG CRYING /pos

SAD-ist animation + Trickle song = B R I L L I A N T

It's interesting as to how he still reacts to Narrator in concern when he disappears + when he saw the mans glasses just floating.

SO... I guess in the end he only wanted his own freedom even if Narrator litreally said back in blank decay- Gotta feel bad for Narrator but this is the 3rd animation to the series so the story isn't full finish yet! I'M SO HYPED FOR MORE

I really wanna know more about this story line you’ve created! It’s so intricate even though the animations aren’t to incredibly long! I really hope we find out more about the narrator and Stanley story! Keep working hard SAD-ist!

I love the little detail of how at 0:50 the SAD-ist watermark moves too

I really love the little details in all of sad-ists animations, like one I noticed in this one was at 0:24 when it's showing past ways he's died, it perfectly matches up with 1:51 in Blank Decay, with the Narrator seeing where he has previously shot Staney; in the head, arm, and shoulder! It keeps it really consistent and I am LOVING IT!

SAD-ist, I just wanted to let you and everybody here know that you are my favourite artist and animator by a long way, you inspire me so much and are one of the few reasons I started animating myself. You are so so so talented and although the likeliness of you seeing this comment is extremely low, at least I know I’ve said something that I know is a fact as this animation on it’s own proves everything. I just wanted you to know how much I look up to you

OHH this was amazing!! I really hope there will be another part because I want to see more of this!! Like maybe Stanley finding someone who looks similar to Narrator but actually isn't him?? And he starts to get some trauma/PTSD from it??? Or maybe even Narrator being able to hack into Stanley's technology like computers and phones to haunt him kind of??? There are so many ideas that I'd love to see!!

Я никогда не преодолею гиперфиксацию на TSP, потому что анимации SAD буквально продлевают фендому жизнь и дают огромный толчок для нового контента. Я в восторге и от анимации, и от истории, и от песни! Спасибо большое всем, кто принял участие в создании этого видео, оно помогло мне начать день с позитивной ноты ❤

I still think it’s insane that this is the same animator I followed who made small little animations for Hamilton on flip-a-clip! SAD-it’s you are a master of animation. It’s incredible to see how far you’ve come.

The Narrator stans will feast of this

Yessss love seeing this story continue! 0:36 is one of my favorite parts where he just barely breaks through the aspect ratio, it makes for a really cool visual. As always, incredible animation!

I would literally sell my house just to see a movie about Stanley and Narrator escaping together I love it

Theory time! I love this series so much! :D In Blank Decay when Narrator loses his arm/leg and hits the ground, you can see as he opens his eye that it's both yellow and black just like those weird electronic-glitch beasts. He also draws the clock parts out of them to rewind time, and his corruption looks suspiciously like them with the memory of a form intact. His film is also burned instead of torn, making him disappear. I think that the narrator is a part of the dream in some way, whether someone so fully incorporated into it that he's lost some of his memories, or a creation of the dream, or a former 'inmate,' or just a memory. It's really interesting to think about. Please let us know if the narrator ever gets out of there! I'm sad Stanley wasn't able to at least keep ahold of the pocket watch in his escape.

This fantastic song being accompanied with the incredibly fluid and bouncy animation from Sadist makes it even better

0:13 THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM WITH ABSOLUTE HATRED OH MY GODDDD

I just wrote an essay on this video for my animation class. I really love the movement and style you have for this series. Keep up the great work!

love how the SAD-ist in the bottom left changes according to the aspect ratio, small detail but says a lot

0:49 is gonna be in a million edits. Tell me I’m wrong

Oh my god for so long I thought you weren't going to continue this. I absolutely adore this series and can't wait to watch this when it premieres Update: Holy shit that was amazing what the what

If I were to guess, the next one would be something related to Red/Pink Maybe like Red blood or Pink Deaths As everything so far was kinda based on a color, Blank decay being the lack of it as it was on the destroyed reality from when Stanley broke the clock And what would it be? Maybe Stanley finally being able to be free while The Narrator now has to fight a pink outline version of Stanley with a skull, representing all the times Stanley died because of the Narrator Also, I think each of those film thingys represent a different timeline/loop The burning one being their current one as it is burning apart by Stanley finally getting free’d, the universe panicking and trying to keep him there, make him stop, cut it out, as the Narrator isn’t doing his job, the universe itself has to do it

WOW. This was a whole experience to watch. 0:36 Feels like a slapstick bit out of an old cartoon. Look at those dizzy eyes and the way Stanley falls. Scrunkly little guy. 0:57 The difference between Stanley and Narrator right there - Narrator reset because of Stanley dying in Blank Decay, showing he cares about Stanley above all no matter what, but Stanley's determination and anger at Narrator lets him leave without Narrator. 1:04 Wait a minute, that tab on the laptop says Narrator... Did that all take place inside Stanley's laptop, and if so, is Narrator still in there? Can Stanley go back and save him, or save him from the outside? (Also, is that green book supposed to be a reference to The Beginner's Guide? No other book has a title, so I bet it is.) 1:11 Also, slightly concerned about why the window turns into the silhouette of a computer. Just a little bit.

Am I the only hopeless romantic upset about them not getting together? I was so excited for this btw, makes me rewatch all the other ones too!

0:59 THAT TRANSITION GIVES ME LIFE HOLY SHIT!!! You are so damn talented!

Im kinda sad that we never got the animation for the dsmp finale but i do like the clock out stuff as well

i need this as a full 8 season anime that will make attached to the characters and make me cry

HOLY MOLY THIS WAS INSANE!!!! Thank you for continuing to make these for us, they are absolutely incredible 💜🖤

.... Did he just let the Narator die? ...... Boo. Love the animation tho and am still inbested.

An insane detail is that at 1:51 in Blank Decay we see the same injuries that are shown here at 0:24.

It's like... The smallest details that make me way too giddy about this. Everything from the moving water mark to Stanley having "The Beginner's Guide" on his desk is just... Alskdlajfjak it makes me do happy kicks!

Это шикарно, это великолепно, как же я обожаю твои работы, Сад-ист. Ты, как всегда, великолепна и с каждой анимацией всё лучше и лучше! Смотрю твои анимации на повторе уде несколько лет 24/7

AHHHH I LOVE THE THE FILMIC VIBE OF IT, The way he breaks through it and tries to carve his own path I'm not smart enough for analysis, BUT AHHH I LOVED IT

theory: i actually think maybe the film/production theme [like the film reels and the clapboard] isn't meant to be about the fourth wall directly, but more about it generally just being stanley's "theme", along with the magenta accent colors. while the narrator's theme is the office building, with yellow accents, which explains why the office seems to completely break down along with the sky turning dark [which didn't happen in yz] right when stanley tries the exit door. the dark background also has yellow at the top that fades away as stanley falls, and pink on the bottom, suggesting a transition between their themes. i think also this is shown by the fact that the camera closeup that appears has a magenta dot at the top instead of the yellow dot in yellow zone, and since both offices and film production have cameras the clock probably is the source of power, and the magenta seems to be its color when stanley is using it, because in yellow zone there are magenta electricity crackles around the clock when stanley's holding it! but it's interesting that the color of stanley himself is blue instead of that color, maybe narrator had a different color of his own but it got overwritten because he had and used the clock for so long [pre-yellow zone]? and maybe the room stanley wakes up in was created by himself subconsciously, or something along those lines, since the room mainly has a pinkish hue. well, if he still has the clock. i'm not sure if he did actually have the clock when he exited, it seemed to just disappear from his hands sometime when he was falling but maybe he pocketed it or something

Man SAD-it’s never fails with her animations. They insanely well done and you can see the effort she puts into them. It’s insane how good her storytelling through just drawings and no words. Outstanding job SAD-ist

Ho, my goodness. That was sick! Time to theorize: color style. In Yellow Zone, the cameras had a dot on top glowing yellow; here, that dot is glowing red. Yellow is the color of the Yellow's eyes, and red is the color of Stanley's glowing red eyes in the mirror and throughout this video (his normal eyes are brown). Yellow and red are also the colors of their blood. Yellow Zone: it's the zone of the guy that a bunch of people now call Yellow because that's his color. Blank Decay... the world is decaying, and blank is a color. It's empty, and when Stanley unnaturally dies, his eyes go blank. As for Blue Lies, I don't know what's blue about it yet. I can see some things that may be lies, but why blue? I'd think the video would be called Red Hate or something, with how mad Stanley is. Maybe red is being saved for later. I saw only one notable blue thing in any and all of the Clock 0ut animations: when Stanley is an outline, he's always blue. Both when showing his deaths and during the clock fight in Yellow Zone, Stanley is blue. So he has two main colors: red and blue. I wonder if the red Clock 0ut animation will be Red Control? I just hope SAD-ist does keep with the color theme!

I love how minimalistic these animations are! Like there is so much plot in story told I only a few minutes, and yet it doesn’t seem rushed.

Absolutely peak detail that I haven't seen anyone notice is that when he wakes up he has a book titled (presumably) "The Beginner's Guide" which is another game by the creator of Stanley Parable and is an amazing work of art.

I LOVE THE VISUAL STORYTELLING SO MUCH the way stanley’s just absolutely TOSSED AROUND by the environment, showing how hopeless he feels,,,, **chefs kiss** immaculate

YIPPEEEEE! I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this universe. I love the nonverbal storytelling and animation work and all of it. It’s so wonderfully put together so far. Cant wait to see where it goes this time!

The time master (that’s what I’m calling the guy with the clock) and the worker had such great character development through the past 2 vids and I’m excited to see how much more there’ll be in this vid

EVERY NEW VIDEO IN THIS SERIES ADDS SUCH A HUGE NEW LAYER OF LORE TO DIG THROUGH,,, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING

I love that at 0:50 the little “SAD-ist” tag moves with the black closing in on him
