8 More Video Games That KNEW You'd Try To Cheat

4. The Serious Room - The Stanley Parable

The Stanley Parable is not a title that does things by half measures, I think that can be said with absolute certainty, and even when dealing with cheaters, Galactic Cafe truly went above and beyond.

As this title is almost self-aware enough to vote, of course when it came to cheaters things were dialled up to the extreme, as if you were to use a server cheat system on the PC version, you'd be taken to "The Serious Room". Here the Narrator would lecture you at great length about the evils of cheating and how you'll never grow as a person for taking the easy road in life.

There is no escape from this serious room, and as such, the only way out is to restart the experience. Or, if you were tempted to call the game's bluff, you could try cheating again! This would end with you being teleported into an "even more serious room" complete with an even more serious lecture!

It's actually hilarious at the lengths the devs went to here, as not only did they anticipate cheaters, but also knew you'd want to try and cheat more to see what else they had in store!
