I love love LOVE that you're changing your mind about the shifting mound. ngl i was worried you might have misintepreted shifting mound's philosophy when you got the first ending, seeing how quickly you accepted her offer to become gods together. I'm glad you're starting to realise that she's not really about embracing change, but rather changing for the sake of it

2025-01-07 19:24:01 +0000 UTCI believe part of what makes STP so psychologically affecting is how the narrative seems to coalesce around embodiment and haunting. I've always struggled with internalizing my body into my sense of self, since the body is simultaneously the conduit for all experience and a phenomenon which is experience. As an example, the air outside is cold and that coldness hurts my hands directly, but after a short time my hand themselves lose their heat and become cold, and that too hurts. I can enter a warm house to escape the cold air and yet my hand, for a time, will still be cold and still will hurt. It's as if my hands are, however briefly, haunted by cold from air which no longer exists. At times, such as when typing this sentence, there is no disconnect between my will to move my hands and the movement of my hands, but add pain or discomfort or injury, and suddenly I am the pilot for the vessels which are my hands. I am the one haunting them with intent to type correctly, or undo a shirt button, or wash a dish. Simultaneously, my hands may feel haunted by a tremor or a throbbing pain or an unnatural stiffness. I might even say, "Come on, hands, work with me!" as if they weren't me. The voices are a haunting that seems to well up in side the protagonist, while the narrator is a haunting from outside. The Princess, too, haunts us, by holding onto our actions which the player expects to no longer have existed as the universe apparently resets. Which means the Princess is haunted by our choices, and her reactions to those choices. And above all that, the in-universe meta-narrative of all these micro-narratives paint us as two inhuman entities haunted by each other, and haunted by the very tangible absence of a "real world" both entities can sense they have been separated from.
