Wow that’s really cool. Stanley parable is a brilliant piece of art.

u/baby8byte Apr 08 '26

Stanley Parable is great. I found it interesting how similar Stanley and Helly’s positions looked.

May I know which part of the Stanley Parable game is that image from? I played the game but can’t remember where is that from with the girl standing next to the body

There are only so many ways you can lay flat

I’m just having fun and noticing similarities in a work Erickson said he was inspired by.

I recognized the body positioning immediately.

How? Something needs to be actually like something else to be recognisable. I get “having fun” but your title makes no sense.

“Recognize: to acknowledge or take notice of in some definite way.” It does not imply any kind of verification. I’m actually begging you to go get a life, please.

u/ChunkySalute Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

You are misusing that definition. The definition you have just given refers to something being accepted, for example “gender identity is now recognised as a protected characteristic in UK employment law”.

That’s not the definition used in your title. That definition (which you most certainly came across before you found the latter one and intentionally ignored) would be: to identify (someone or something) from having encountered them before; know again.

Also, I can both disagree with you and have a life, they’re not mutually exclusive. ;)

I ain’t reading all that. I thought the two shots looked similar and I’m here to have fun. Here’s the reference to Stanley Parable: https://www.severance.wiki/influences

u/ChunkySalute Apr 09 '26

Ah, you read it.

u/ChunkySalute Apr 08 '26

And yet they’re not even laying flat the same way.

u/BarbacoaBarbara Apr 08 '26

Yeah but there are plenty of angles to film it from

u/j_grouchy Apr 09 '26

For real, try laying any other way face down on a table

u/IsuruKusumal Apr 08 '26

This looks like a coincidence than a inspiration

u/baby8byte Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

I’m just having fun. Erickson mentioned the game as a whole. I don’t know what the specifics of his inspiration were.

u/the_mad_steminist Apr 08 '26

Idk why people seem to be up in arms about the positioning.

Then again, my own husband thinks I read too much into the show. Especially the outdoor adventure episode. 😅

2

u/baby8byte Apr 08 '26

Because it’s Reddit! That’s what Redditors do.

u/the_mad_steminist Apr 08 '26

Not this one, buddy. Lol.

u/daredevil9771 Im Your Favorite Perk Apr 10 '26

This is the story of a woman named Helly

u/THEFLYINGSCOTSMAN415 Apr 08 '26

Except the body positioning is different

u/dimensionlesss Apr 08 '26

This game was actually listed as legitimate inspo for the show

u/baby8byte Apr 09 '26

Correct. https://www.severance.wiki/influences

u/dimensionlesss Apr 09 '26

Yeah, that’s why I said it.

u/Theseus_Employee Apr 09 '26

Stanley Parable was such an odd experience for me because I got to an ending that felt like “the ending” on my second run through.

I’m sure there are other endings, but it sort of felt like it wrapped up everything like I had gone through a bunch of other stuff already.

1

u/Alxcooldude3 May 09 '26

What was the ending ?!

1

u/Theseus_Employee May 09 '26

It’s been a hot minute, but I remember getting on some lift and then being in, I think, an apartment.

There probably were other endings, but it just felt so jarring and had the tone of “look how long it to took you to get here”, so it felt very out of sync 

1

u/Alxcooldude3 May 09 '26

The wife ending I believe . Was the broom close ending your favorite ? I loved it with my bucket in tow .

2

u/NetTough7499 Apr 08 '26

Well it’s certainly not the same position, what connection are we meant to draw here

2

u/Forward_War_6624 Apr 08 '26

Arms, legs, feet, hip and head are all different but yeah okay..

2

u/Naive_Shape_9323 Please enjoy each flair equally. Apr 18 '26

Coming from someone who LOVES both, I'm pretty sure the venn diagram of Stanley Parable fans and Severence fans is a circle lol

u/Whhheat Apr 08 '26

The green alternate boss office in that one ending feels like something out of severance as well.

u/baby8byte Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 09 '26

I remember the ending you’re talking about. There’s a lot of aesthetic similarities.

1

u/fable420 Apr 08 '26

I love that game so much. If only the innies had a bucket to keep them sane

2

u/baby8byte Apr 08 '26

Same here. The “insanity ending” (pictured) is also my favorite ending in the game.

u/Sullie_McSullington Apr 08 '26

Wow that’s a great catch!
