It tears apart and pieces back together not just the idea of what a demo is, but what narrative in games means.
Through its wry jokes, the demo is a critical arrow to the knee of the games industry and its customers, with both developers and players being sent up in brutal fashion.īut though it's extremely funny, it really is a bleak satire on what we and the industry have become. The whole demo is the game desperately trying to show you the actual demo, although it's actually a demo in itself, turning the whole thing into a bizarre piece of despicable metaphysical japery. It's very clear from the outset that Galactic Cafe certainly have a dry, ironic, and dark sense of humour. What that something else is, however, we're not entirely sure.Ĭoming out next week, this re-imagining of the Half-Life 2 mod of the same name, sees developers Galactic Cafe gleefully mess with us pitiful potential consumers, making no apology and taking no prisoners. But with The Stanley Parable, we feel that the demo itself is worth getting a mention because it really is something else.
