Step apart Ghost (opens in new tab), there is a new videogame character sending the web right into a attractive frenzy. I am not fairly positive why or how this has occurred, however The Stanley Parable’s narrator has been receiving some fairly beneficial consideration throughout TikTok and Steam evaluations currently. By beneficial, I imply individuals being down atrocious for this transcendental being.
It appears to be a mix of individuals thirsting after the narrator’s voice—supplied by the great Kevan Brighting—and delivery him with Stanley, the sport’s protagonist. The previous is the one taking on most of my TikTok For You Web page, although.
