Really enjoyed the game, the way it bends gaming rules, plays with you (the player), etc... The amount of 4th wall breaking is insane, and all endings are interesting and thought-provoking. There are multiple times when the Narrator actually caught me off-guard, made me laugh, scared me, made me more empathetic... I liked the philosophical ideas that were indirectly discussed in each ending, especially the significance of the bucket for Stanley, the Narrator and the player. I also loved how the game suggests different levels of reality/consciousness in which the actual story is embedded, the first layer with the Narrator and Stanley, the second higher layer with the curator, the third with the Settings entity, and the fourth and highest with you the player. Overall, this game is really a thought-provoking game that redefines your relation to gaming.
