Summary

A metafictional account of Davey Wreden, creator of the Stanley Parable (2013), who takes the player through the games of his old friend, Coda, while giving his commentary and interpretations of them, in order to understand why he makes the bizarre, often melancholic games that he makes, and decipher Coda's personality and inner struggles.

This is a masterclass on how to make art.

Unbelievable writing... full of clever and fresh ideas. Downloaded Unity a literal second after finishing the game one of my favourite narrative experiences ever

It's difficult to define this as a "game" but it dealt with some difficult topics and really hit hard. I'd call more of a playable letter that the developer has written for themselves. In the process, we, the players relate to a lot of it as well. Really good writing across the board.
