An interessting game ahead of its time. It features a layered story, cleverly told, enhanced by a polished level design, relying on lighting, environnemental narration and affordant signs.

Unfortunately, the game imho suffers from its concept when it comes to pace. Doing and redoing the same things with the hope of gaining something different as a reward feels like farming the story instead of a gameplay. Unfortunately, gameplay is by definition systemical, which means it is designed to be redone over and over again, whereas story isn't : story is finished.

This does not take away the boldness and cleverness the Stanley Parable deserves, that's why I humbly incite you to play it. Just don't Hope for thé best game you ever played. But a really good one
