The Stanley Parable

Not so much a game as a narrative experiment. The Stanley Parable allows you to play the role of a corporate employee, who is a cog in a huge machine and spends most of his day behind a desk. What does he do? It's irrelevant. What will he do? That's the puzzle. As we take control of him, we begin to hear the narrator. A mysterious voice comments on our actions, sometimes suggesting what we should do at a given moment. But no one is making us listen to him!

"Stanley chose the right door. What about choosing the ones on the left? What happens when we object? What will happen if we obey? The Stanley Parable is a constant dilemma whose solutions can make you laugh to tears. It's hard to define the time needed to complete the game, as different endings can occur sooner or later, but it' s definitely worth playing this game at least a few times and seeing what changes when you make different choices.

The Unfinished Swan

A beautifully tale that, by the way, is a unique artistic puzzle game. The world in The Unfinished Swan is explored from a first-person perspective, except that... the entire environment is white. You can't see objects, you can't see edges - everything in front of you is a solid white. Upon pressing the right key, the hero throws a paint ball. Suddenly, we begin to see the outlines of the elements around our character and the magic happens.

This is how we explore the levels and learn the story of our orphan named Monroe. The paintings, which his late mother never finished, helped the boy cope with tragedy, but one day the swan from his favorite work disappeared from the canvas. It's time to head to the magical world of paintings to the rescue, and in the process, find out what happened to the local king. The Unfinished Swan is a top-quality interactive tale.
