Is Stanley Parable a horror game Reddit?

I hate scary games as said in the title. So is Stanley's Parable scary? If it is a gray area, what about the game is "scary"? Pop out scary?

Is Stanley Parable a horror game Reddit?

level 2

It has a few moments where it could really take cheap scare shots at you, but gladly it never does. It's very very funny though.

level 2

But at the same time, yes you should buy it if you enjoy story driven first person games.

level 1

The Stanley Parable is not a scary game; it's more of a narrative adventure. Some games try to be interactive movies; the Stanley Parable is more of an interactive novel. So don't expect any jump scares or zombies!

level 2

I thought the whole game that something was gonna pop out, it ruined the experience for me :-(.

level 1

Nothing scary, you'll be fine. I'd say it's more comedy than anything.

level 2

Ok, I enjoyed the hell out of the demo, and played a couple endings on the source mod.

Should I play the source mod or will it ruin the fun of the new game?

level 1

Do you consider Portal to be scary? It's a bit like that except you have a british guy's voice guide you through the silence.

level 2

No I loved Portal. I found the part in Infinite near the end where you climb the lighthouse to be scary.

At least in the original mod, absolutely nothing in the game was the slightest bit scary. Unless you have an weird irrational fear of charming narrators, go for it!

EDIT: This post inspired me to try the demo of the full game. Turns out the demo is a completely separate experience from the main game. Not sure I've seen that before. It's also ridiculous.

level 1

Its not scary. Its more of an intriguing game full of cliff hangers and decisions.

level 1

It can be a tad bit unsettling at times, but it's far from scary. It reminds me of Portal but without any portals or puzzles. It's got the same sense of humor and a very similar atmosphere.

level 1

The game is only as scary as existential topics like, "Does free will exist?" or "If we all die eventually, what's the point?" I actually just had to walk away from it because it "scared" me so bad by my own actions.

tl;dr: Play it!

Is Stanley Parable a horror game Reddit?

I saw it costed low in the store, seemed interesting, and was rated E10+, so I’m really interested in buying. But I’m a major crybaby when it comes to horror-type stuff. Would this game be too much for me to handle?

No it’s not even close to a horror game

level 1

No it’s not a horror,

More of a comedy that’s dark and twisted,

Check YouTuber out called Atrioc, he’s done a few video on it, you may have to dig a little into his content, and it may spoil the game if you watch too much,

But seriously it’s not a horror as you would imagine

level 1

It is at worst existential horror, as in it I makes you question reality. It is not the jump scare or gore based horror.

level 1

Some scary moments but nothing that would actually make it horror. The scariest thing I can think of is the fear of being alone (which is made up for by the narrator most times) and other small things.

level 2

“Stanley went round in circles for no reason. Perhaps he had gone insane.”

level 1

I didn’t find it to be a horror game. More like a mystery that you unravel a little more each time you play.

level 1

Imo it is a funny game, but idk if one ending could be horror, but I doubt it, go for it.

I played the game some years ago, if u really want to be safe maybe wait for someone that still remember everything.

level 1

It is not outright horror like residential evil. But it can be so dark (even with the intended comedy tone and setup) that it can be quite a bit of horror in the sense of reflecting on oneself....

But in my opinion, it is interesting.

level 1

It can feel unsettling but not in a horror or creepy way , which I know makes no sense unless you play it. It’s very smart, VERY weird game. Truly one of a kind, nothing has done what it does as well . It’s the Stanley parable, it has no definable tags

level 1

When google doesn't exist for you even though you're clearly online.

level 1

Definitely not horror.

If you find it interesting, just stop being here and go for it, because if there's a game that HUGELY benefits from going into it blind, that's The Stanley Parable.
