The Stanley Parable: completed!
The Stanley Parable is an odd narrative game, where you are effectively given instructions by the narrator. As an office worker, you suddenly realise that everyone else has disappeared, and it feels that the point of the game is to understand why. If it were a traditional game, that would be the case. The game is most fun, or rather funny, when not following instructions.

I don't think at framework they are racists or transphobes or xenophobes or fascists in general.
I think it's just a living example of the parable of the Nazi bar. They might not believe in it, but that does not change that they are going in that direction.
I wonder how the work culture will be influenced by this. Will people leave and will they hire more white supremacists as a replacement?

I wrote a short story, a sort of parable, and you can read it first if you subscribe (for free) to my ghost. I'll release it to subscribers later today. I am titling it "To Sea."

The parable of the Emperor's New Clothes, but the Emperor is the one from Warhammer 40,000.

You approach a wide river on your journey. To get to the other side you must build a raft. After many attempts and false starts you at last are able to cross the river. Once you reach the other side, you continue on your journey, but the raft is heavy, no longer useful, and so you leave the raft behind, that others may use it to cross the river. This is the parable of the raft.
