A 77 average that undersells it — ask the 265 people who rated it. More story than an adventure game — comedy, drama first, and the adventure game parts serve the narrative. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run.

About this game

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.
