A deviously clever, reactive adventure that second-guesses your every move. The branching story rewards curiosity, imagination, and encourages you to defy its wonderful narrator at every turn.   

The Stanley Parable

Adam Foster's Minerva comes close to the quality of Valve's official Episodes—so much so, Valve eventually hired Foster. This hefty campaign is highly polished.   

Minerva: Metastasis

A mod that does away with offensive weapons, leaving you with just a couple of secondary tools and Half-Life 2's iconic gravity gun. Tight puzzles are the order of the day in this brain-scratching quest.
