Suggestion: Revealing Continuity Lapse

I just spent way too long whipping up these two images to try and capture just some of the continuity lapses in The Stanley Parable. Thoughts? (captions are mostly just suggestions)

I know the text is a bit hard to read on the first one, but I did my best... and if you guys want me to try and make the text more legible, I'll keep on trying. (Or, we could just remove the text all together...)

Opened. I lean toward 1.1 since it's less visually cluttered.

Fair point. I originally liked 1.2 more but coming back with fresher eyes I can agree with 1.1— and I'm certainly willing to fix up the text or outright remove it if it becomes an issue.

1.1 take 2, with the text a bit more visible.

1.1 take 3, with text removed to the best of my ability:

If we go with that one, the caption may have to do some of the work. Finally there's:

1.1 take 4, with only the bottom panel's text removed: the caption will have the text that would've been there.

4.3.

Same tbh.

Not really sure about the suggestions. Even though I am familiar with The Stanley Parable, the pic mostly relies on the text, which is, frankly, barely legible. And I doubt that people unfamiliar with the work would find it illustrative.

Eh, fair. I just couldn't think of a better way to illustrate it because it's an inherently context dependent trope. The game at least allows for some side-by-side comparison...but I'll agree the text dependency is an issue.

I can barely read the text, it's non-illustrative without said text. (Not sure I'm understanding it, too — is the "lapse" the doors disappearing?)

Right; every game takes you to this hallway where the first choice is which door the player goes down. In this particular ending, the plot gets "lost" so things start changing- starting with the door room being different.

I'll admit it's not a great illustration if people who don't know the game won't get it.

Alright, came up with some other ideas.

Sure, crowner.

I'd like to see if other people have suggestions, too, though.

For me, 11.2 is the only one where the two frames are similar enough to show that we're supposed to be looking at a different version of the same image.

Agree

11.2 happens to be my favorite, too.

11.2

I can live with 11.2.

Same.
