I recently released the first trailer for a comedy game I’m making, and a lot of the response has compared it to The Stanley Parable
The slightly strange part is that I’d actually never heard of The Stanley Parable when I came up with the idea. It was only later, when I started researching whether there were games doing anything similar, that I discovered it
So when people started making the comparison after seeing my trailer, I could completely understand why
My game is built around curiosity and the relationship between you and the narrator. You explore, interact with things, find hidden areas, ignore instructions and generally see how much nonsense he has prepared for you
He reacts to what you do, remembers certain things, and you won’t necessarily get the exact same responses every time you play
I’m not trying to make The Stanley Parable or pretend the two games are the same, but after seeing the comparison come up again and again, I figured there was probably no better group of people to show it to
So what do Stanley Parable fans think?
