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.

One of the best.

A philosophical essay about art and author, and how the audience appropriates itself a work of art. Interesting but honestly not as impactful as I wished.

This doesn't really qualify as a game but it is a bit of a narrative adventure. This could've just been a video or film but I think the creator wanted us to feel what he went through, playing it places us in his shoes, maybe to find justification in his actions. It was quite painful and sad.

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