The Stanley Parable
Despite getting a large following on social media for breaking boundaries of gaming and creating its own rules, not many people have played The Stanley Parable. The abandoned office block that you find yourself in at the start gives you the same eerie sensations that you get when playing Half-Life 2 – probably because The Stanley Parable was built on its game engine.
The game is very unique with a simple structure, however its big, defining twist is that when the game tells you to do something, or expects you to take a certain path, you can in fact disobey it and do something completely different. This is all part of The Stanley Parable’s aim to removing strict rules from games and allow the player to have more control than they should probably have. Filled with dry British quips and confusing contradictions, it’s a gaming experience that’s not to be missed.
