(SPOILERS) Coming back to this sequence after learning about The Narrator makes this add up. This is *HIS* nightmare. (Possibily through her eyes from the line "Your existence hurts them".) Hes afraid of death and wants to get rid of it by having The Long Quiet _slay the princess_ as thats what she represents. (Because of The Shifting Mound, and shes all about change.)

So the Nightmare is basically making the Narrator suffer by pouring her own existence into his mind to break him... but in "The Moment of Clarity," the backlash of that caused all the other Voices to appear as a sort of self-defense mechanism from that mental assault. Am I making sense?

Honestly i assumed the nightmare was projecting her own trauma onto us since she states that she's in a constant state of life and death and the nightmare was simply showcasing the slow horror of that state and why she wants to get out.

@@yassinefarah2423 Makes sense. While the Voice of the Paranoid fears her, it's hard to not feel at least a bit of sympathy towards her plight.

"Your existence hurts them" is such a beautiful line. It's not only pristine, it's a double-edged blade: both Narrator -> Princess for all he believes she represents to the world, and Mound -> Narrator for the endless suffering his construct brings upon both gods. Hence the distorted Mound leitmotif in the background of the scene. Gives me shivers every time. Truly, even if given a choice I'd ALWAYS free her.

Something I noticed: If, indeed, this is actually the Narrator's nightmare, and not the Long Quiet's.. that means that the Princess is actually talking to the Narrator when she's apparently telling the LQ to let her out. This is further evidenced by the fact that she comments on the fact that she "broke you" when _he's_ unable to carry on. And considering that, after this sequence, Quiet can mention the fact that someone else had to have been in control while he wasn't since he didn't remember anything that transpired.. that means the Narrator might've been the one in the driver's seat for a while.

The Narrator on the driver's seat... And still he wasn't able to succeed...

In my opinion this game's greatest message is one about the dizzying nature of entropy, and how it paralyses people This is best exemplified by the stranger, in which every possibility is laid before you, however the contrarian says it best, "there's nothing here to be clever about, what's the point in asking a question if all you get is a million answers?", the thing about entropy is that before you make a choice, the weight of not only the choice you take now sits on your shoulders, but of every branch which comes after every choice This is why the cabin ending is my favourite, because only by making a choice can you lessen the weight of entropy, even with the knowledge of all the possibility which lays before you

I remember getting this when trying to save the nightmare the first time i met her. Lets just say,this bit haunted me and chilled me to the core. Something about a situation like that feels like a living hell. And that pained smile while being surrounded by loved ones hit too close to home.

Especially the image on 1:28 . The idea of isolating yourself, and growing old alone, hoping that that this misery will end.... Only to awaken once again, in the same room again, reliving everything again. Those tears pull at my heartstring.

i had no clue Johnathan Sims was the Narrator in this game but i would recognize that creepy hushed voice anywhere

i love the distorted shifting mound theme in the background, such a nice touch

This is the part in the game where I genuinely believed there was gonna be a backstory for the princess

The Narrator’s perspective becomes clear. Under change, sadness always comes, whether you live in compounding misery, die and lose your happiness, or forget and live in dread With change, all these are possible, all this change can hurt, can make someone suffer, can make everyone suffer No wonder The Shifting Mound’s motif plays here, it’s the embodiment of change, the embodiment of The Narrator’s nightmare

With other perceptions you can draw similarities and metaphors for relationships, the boy first approach to a girl and what comes after, the good, the bad and the ugly, but this one... this one only has one meaning, its a message that i whole heartedly hate and its why i would just free her, she is trapped there, we get the easy way out of the cycle, she does not, for us is mere seconds, for her is entire decades... this game is peculiar in that that it is unique, because even if she is DEFINETELY a negative route... the shifting mound refers to her as someone who seeks nothing more than companionship, but can only hurt what surrounds her.

I want to comment. This might relate to 2 Nephi 2:26-27.

it's such a cool concept and the writing is really good, I just can't stand the princess' voice. It makes it so corny.

@@gachispy yea thats the only complaint I could possibly see being valid as the voice filter makes it sound like the voice is coming out of a bad mic and imo the actress could've been a bit more intense, maybe even frantic yelling, I feel like the actress was holding herself back on this route compared to some of the others
