The game would work only if she was actually going to end the world, like in a bad sense. There's zero reasons to side with the narrator unless you just want to be edgy.
>>724061503The game works perfectly fine if you try not to slay her every time.Hell after being a contrarian and getting the first metanarrative scene, slaying her is no longer a moral choice.
>>724061741It doesn't work because there's not really a choice here. There's a literal part of you that harbours no bad intentions to anybody and just wants to make things go as they're intended and there's a mortal retard acting completely on his own who wants to ruin the world in a sense merely because he's autistic and who literally says he's wrong and retarded in one route. Why would anybody destroy her in these circumstances?
Like it's not even told that most people actually don't want to die, this retard chimps out only because of his own insecurities.
>>724061503She literally ends the world anon
>>724064703She restarts it, not just ends.
>>724065231Yeah but she still ends it. Would you be fine with someone killing you because someone else is gonna be born soon after?
>>724064703Shit's debatably just a series of dreams. All the scenarios are just made up by both you and the princess, with the initial setting made by the narrator. I'm pretty sure the narrator is bullshitting you when he says a whole universe is destroyed each time you fail. The real world is only at the end.
>>724061503>>724065231I'd like to think the Princess represents change, and additionally the Big Crunch theory. Where everything gets destroyed and the universe resets, very similar to what we see in the game. My crackhead theory is that the narrator comes from an extremely advanced civilization that realized the universe is controlled by a tangible god, and in an attempt to prevent the universe from crunching and restarting the Big Bang they tried to cripple said god. They aren't capable of outright killing god, but they could separate the god and allow him to kill the change part of himself.
>>724065530Your analogy is just awful. The old world is old and it has to die, naturally. The crow wants to keep it going nigh dead and prevent the birth of a new world.>>724065920>theyHim. That's a big point. It's not an entire civilisation that had thought for a while and collectively decided they don't want to die no matter what, it's just one capable dude. He explicitly states the rest of the world doesn't know what's going on.
>>724065732Doubt. Then it wouldn't end with the very first death of the princess inside the first construct.
>>724066189The narrator is your construction, thoughbeit. You made him to make you kill her. He's supposed to do what he can to convince you to do it.
>>724066669Source? He says he made us and I can't recall anything explicitly telling otherwise.
>>724066776He never said he made us.
>>724066776>>724067223There was a different god and narrator split him into (You) and princess and locked you both in the hyperbolic time cabin.That shit is explicitly stated to you at the very end.
>>724067380The narrator is you. Or rather a mirror of you that was left behind to guide you. It's a bird, and you're a bird. You see?
>>724065530If I was an old man with chronic pain ans my continued existence insured complete stagnation and the inability for new life to be born? I would hope I'd have the strength to make the morally correct choice.
>>724067480Narrator is explicitly stated by (You) (The voices), Several princesses, especially apotheosis and mound, and by himself during the mirror sequence to be in absolutely no fucking way related to you whatsoever. He's just the fucker who instigated the whole shebang because sour grapes.
>>724067480Anon you're retarded. The narrator explicitly says he crafted you from her.That being said, this argument is kind of moot too because it's built on the premise that the narrator is still alive. He explicitly sacrificed himself and outright tells you that the "narrator" you hear are essentially echoes of himself put in place to try and guide you. They aren't alive, the original "dies" before the events of the game.
>>724067626We see him at the end. It's a talking bird. You're a bird too. Narrator and you are of the same cloth.
>>724067867>"You made us? Out of what?">The cycle of life and death. The endless pattern of creation and destruction. I tore it in two and shaped the fraying threads into you and her.
>>724067867>"Are you a part of me? Or are you something else?">No I'm not a 'part of you,' but that's all a matter of perspective, isn't it?From one vantage point I must seem wholly foreign, but from another, well... all the versions of me that have existed have collectively heard your every thought and driven your every action. If that isn't being a part of you, then what is?
Lay the princess.
>>724061503Have you ever lost someone you love to a completely natural and unavoidable death anon?Have you every considered your own mortality?Some day anon, you will be gone.And some day after that all the people who knew you will be gone too.And in some ways it'll be like you never existed, except for the ripples left behind by you that echo onwards through your actions.And some day, even those will disappearImagine if all that didn't have to be the case. That is what the Narrator wanted. Not just safety, but an end to death itself.Only by actually having faced death in your life, not at a distance, but close, intimate and ignoble, can you can truly understand how appealing that is. Imagine all the people you love lasting forever, no fear of losing them, no fear of the inevitable end, the tragedy of existence, solved, forever.And all you have to do to get it is deal with the 'person' that did all of this to us in the first place.The Narrator wasn't right, but if you can't see where he's coming from then it's likely because you're still quite young and can't imagine a world where you no longer Be.
