10 Video Game Endings That Totally Trolled Players
3. All The Endings - The Stanley Parable
The Stanley Parable is a game which toys and tinkers with the very idea of conventional video game narrativity, and that carries through to its endings - all 19 of them.
Though many of them are unsatisfying by nature, all of them are willfully weird and intended to leave players scratching their heads.
In one ending the narrator relishes your impending demise, in another you end up going to heaven, and in another you're forced to play a mini-game where you must stop a baby and a puppy being burned to death for four hours. Yup.
Some of the endings are funny, some of the endings are annoying, but all are the peak of video game absurdism - a cosmic joke about the goal-orientated nature of the medium.
