    Perhaps you missed a memo, so better head to the meeting room.

        And the voices narrate what you are doing. For example you come to a set of two doors and you choose to go through the one on the left.

          That sounds like a stressful situation, I think I’ll just hang out in the broom closet.

    I played this game and I don’t understand it, what is the point ? honestly the performance of the narrator was amazing and was my favourite part of the game but otherwise I don’t understand what the “message” is.

    spoiler

    and like, who is stanley ? who is the narrator ? how come stanley can hear narrator’s voice ? if stanley is in a game and we are playing that game, then narrator should be in the game too, somehow he is in the game and not in the game at the same time ??

      If you’re asking all these questions, you’re trying too hard to “get” the game.

      It’s kind of a humor game, kind of a satirical take on how games in general just kind of expect you to follow along but in SP you can do all kind of “not what we’re here for” shit like sitting in a closet for twenty minutes. Is it riveting gameplay? Not usually, but it was worth the $5 I paid for it. I certainly have gotten more than $5 of entertainment out of it.

      Totally understand if that kind of game isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I certainly wouldn’t have played it in highschool. Or at least I’d be bored with it very quickly.

      And with all the different paths in the game, replay is okay because you probably don’t remember all of them.

        oh I didn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy it, I enjoyed it quite a lot it was a fun game and definitely worth playing. it’s just that I felt like the game was trying to tell me something but I couldn’t understand what. but I guess you’re right

          If there’s some deeper hidden meaning, I haven’t found one. I never really felt like it was trying to tell me anything except maybe “don’t take games too seriously”

      It’s a fourth-wall breaking game, a game whose characters are aware that they’re in a game. Their personalities, knowledge, and awareness change throughout the game and the consistency is limited to “pathes” that you take. The devs are playing with and making fun of the rules.

      I don’t know, the narrator tries too hard and is generally unfunny.

    Now you’re stuck in the backrooms. The lights turn off. You hear a loud growl.

    I am sorry, but could someone please explain this to me? Looks like an old office with old monitors, but is the joke more than just “times have changed”?

    I went through all the endings in under two hours and spent the rest of the afternoon in intense terror about the idea of eternal life and the possibility of eternal suffering…

    Probably not what the author intended, but I’m not playing it again.
