The Stanley Chronicles Project

Introduction to the Game

This work was created for an undergraduate Art History course at the University of Saskatchewan (instructor: Jon Bath).  Part essay, part video game, the work plays with notions first addressed in the game The Stanley Parable, guiding the player through a virtual space with commentary from a narrator. Included in the files associated with the game are an introductory video and readme file, which help contextualize the work and its meaning to the creator.

There are a number of choices presented at different points throughout the game. At each juncture, the narrator speaks to the player about the ideas of free will and choice. Eventually, depending on the path chosen, the player encounters one of two puzzle games: either a maze, or a series of platforms that must be jumped across. Trying--and failing, and having to try again--are integral experiences to both puzzles. Successfully completing either leads the player to the same spot at the end of the game.

The following information was created by the student to introduce his work:
