How philosophy made The Stanley Parable great

DTOID:

"Do you remember The Stanley Parable, that witty satirical game written and designed by William Pugh and David Wreden? It was great fun back in the day (still is), and remains one of my favourite games. But when I first played it the satire parted my hair as it sailed, cleanly and gracefully, over my head. I was too focused on how it told its jokes, for The Stanley Parable’s main mechanic is not walking, but an idea called 'existentialism.'&quot ;
