Stumbling through the Stanley Parable Demonstration

[davidn]

After a frankly suspicious amount of encouragement to try out the demo of The Stanley Parable, here it is! I go into the video knowing nothing of what the game is about. Frankly, I leave the video knowing nothing of what the game is about as well.

It's... a first-person game that does some things - that's about the limit of the information that I have at the moment. Oh - you're led around by the man who does the Tesco adverts, doing a voice that's somewhere halfway between Stephen Fry and Maaaahtin Jaaaahvis. The game is an interesting example of one that behaves like you're having a nightmare, losing control of itself and having you follow a set of dream logic where you're never sure where it's going, but played humorously enough that the feeling is... almost offset!

I think I'm going to go and lie down now.

Apparently, Kevan Brighting did the narratives.

... ... ...I'm not even going to bother asking, because I'm fairly sure you have just as much a clue as I as to what the hell that was.

I have only one thing to say in response to that. And I'm going to say it over and over again.
