Chapter 272 (1/2)

Zhao Lei took a look at the time. It was less than 10 minutes since he started the game and passed the customs.

It also includes the time he spent wandering around and clicking meaninglessly.

Moreover, the operation of the game is also very simple. There is no fighting, no monsters, and only two operations of moving and clicking are needed in the whole process.

Combined with a variety of options in the game, obviously, it should be a puzzle game.

In other words, the fun of it should be to explore different branches and play different endings.

After figuring this out, Zhao Lei has a bottom in his mind and roughly knows what he should do next.

He should try different options.

……

The game begins again.

According to the tip, Stanley should get out of the office and go to the meeting room to find his colleagues. But Zhao Lei suddenly thought, if not out? What if you close the door?

He clicked on the door of the office and it closed.

Stanley can't stand the pressure. What if he had to make a choice? What if he messes up in his area of responsibility? No, it won't work out. ]

[the thing to do now is to wait, Stanley thought. Nothing can hurt me. I'm happy here. I'll always be happy ]

Zhao Lei is confused. What the hell?

I'm in the house?

He walked around and clicked on the door to get out, but it didn't help. And he also found a very strange thing, the original hanging on the wall motionless clock, also began to move, as if to remind Stanley that time is passing by.

[Stanley knows that it will be over soon, someone will talk to him, someone will work with him, and it will come soon ]The narration stops abruptly. Without pictures, Zhao Lei can't imagine what happened to Stanley.

The game is over, and it's an end.

Zhao Lei realized that although the two outcomes he fought out were relatively simple, they were meaningful.

Just like the name of the game, the fable of Stanley itself is a parable that uses metaphorical stories to express meaningful truth and enlighten people.

Obviously, if the player always acts according to the narration, it only takes a few minutes to play a seemingly beautiful ”free ending”, but Zhao Lei is very skeptical about it. It's not so much a ”free ending”, but rather a ”cheating ending”, because Stanley just acts according to the narration, and doesn't explore the world at all A deeper mystery.

What do these two endings represent?

Because cowardly self closed, so perish in silence?

Or, following clear guidance, completing a journey and then achieving self deception?

Zhao Lei thought the game was very interesting and began to try different branch routes.

The game begins again.

This time, Zhao Lei thought of the button in the power control room.

When turning off the mental control device, he has two buttons in front of him, namely [off] and [on]. What if he chose to open it?
