Zhao Lei looked at the time, and it only took less than 10 minutes from the time he started the game to the time he passed the level.

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

Moreover, the operation of this game is also very simple, without any battles or any monsters. You only need to move the whole process, click on these two operations.

Combined with the various options in this game, it is obviously a puzzle game.

In other words, its fun lies in exploring different branches and achieving different endings.

After understanding this, Zhao Lei felt confident and roughly knew what he should do next.

He should try different options.

...

The game begins again.

Following the prompts, Stanley should walk out of the office and go to the conference room to find his colleagues. But Zhao Lei suddenly thought, what if he didn't go out? What if he closed the door?

He clicked on the office door and the door closed.

[Stanley cannot bear this pressure. What if he has to make a choice? What if he messed up within his responsibilities? No, this will not have a good result.]

[What you have to do now is wait, Stanley thought. Nothing can hurt me. Here, I am very happy, always happy...]

Zhao Lei was confused, what the hell?

Am I locked in the house?

He walked around and clicked on the door and wanted to go out, but to no avail. And he also discovered something very strange. The clock, which was originally hanging on the wall, began to move, as if reminding Stanley that time was passing bit by bit.

[Stanley knew that it was about to end soon. Someone would talk to him, someone would ask him to do things, and he would come...]

The narration came to an abrupt end. Without a picture, Zhao Lei had no idea what happened to Stanley.

The game is over, and it's also an ending.

Zhao Lei realized that although the two endings he played were relatively simple, they were meaningful.

Just like the name of this game, "Stanley's Fable", the fable itself uses metaphorical stories to express meaningful truths and give people inspiration.

Obviously, if the player keeps acting according to the instructions of the narrator, it only takes a few minutes to create a "free ending" that looks very beautiful, but Zhao Lei is very skeptical about this. Rather than saying that this is a "free ending", it is better to say that this is a "deception ending", because Stanley only acts according to what the narrator says and does not explore the deeper mysteries in this world at all.

What do these two endings represent?

Because of cowardice, self-enclosure, he perished in silence?

Or, follow the obvious guidance, complete a journey and then achieve self-deception?

Zhao Lei thought this 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 mind control device, there are two buttons in front of him, namely [OFF] and [ON]. What happens if he chooses to turn on?

This time, Zhao Lei was already familiar with the road and quickly followed the narrator's instructions to the final power control room.

[Stanley decided to let this machine no longer control other people's lives because he would completely eliminate these controls.]

Although the narrator frantically suggested that he would turn off the machine, Zhao Lei still pressed [ON].

[Oh, Stanley, you wouldn't have turned on this console? After they enslaved you for so many years, you want to control the machine yourself. Is this what you want? Control?]

The big screen in front of me became red, and the above shows: [Loading the mind control system…], and the background music also became nervous.

[Stanley, I praise your efforts, but you have to understand that the machine can do is limited. You should learn to let go, turn off the control system, and then leave. If you want my story to go off track, you still need to work harder.]

【I believe you will be interested in this:】

[Stanley suddenly realized that he had just started the self-destruct system of the emergency network. If the machine was started without passing a specific DNA identification, the nuclear bomb would detonate and blow up the entire facility.]

[So, when will it detonate? Well, I think about it. Two minutes!]

[Now this story has become interesting, right? Now it’s time for you to make a brilliant debut. Please interpret it as you wish. Unfortunately, you don’t have much time to enjoy it!]

Zhao Lei was confused and felt like he was completely fooled by the narrator.

He manipulated Stanley to search everywhere throughout the facility. There were many operable buttons outside. He clicked one by one, but it was useless and could not stop the countdown.

Even as he walked towards some doors that could escape, the door closed automatically.

If we follow the general game, there will definitely be a way to break the deadlock at this time, but Zhao Lei was extremely suspicious that although there were many buttons and switches in the room, no matter what he did, he could not stop the nuclear bomb from exploded, and all attempts were futile.

The narration continues.

[What, do you want to know where your colleagues are going? Well, let me tell you for the sake of my good mood.]

[I eliminated them, I turned off the machine, I gave you freedom. Of course, only this story, sometimes I just let you sit in the office forever, press the button alone, and then die.]

【There are a few more times, I let the office fall into the ground, swallow everyone inside, or burn the office.】

Zhao Lei ignored the narration. He was still wandering around the room, looking for any buttons that could solve the current situation.

But what the narrator said next shocked Zhao Lei.

【Oh, Stanley, what are you doing? Do you think there is a button in this room that can turn off this countdown?】

[Look at yourself, running around between the screen, pressing and pressing the things in this room, you must be thinking, these buttons with numbers! No, these buttons of different colors! Or this big red button! There must be something here to save me!]

[Why, Stanley? Do you think any problem in this game can be solved?]

[No, you are still alive just because I want to see you being powerless and dejected. This is not a challenge, it is a tragedy.]

The countdown ends.

With a violent explosion, everything became quiet.

Zhao Lei was shocked. Obviously, this was also an ending, but this ending made him feel even more surprising.

The most special thing is that this narrator seems to be mocking the player's behavior, just like talking to the player through the screen.

Obviously, all of this must have been designed by Chen Mo, but Zhao Lei still feels like interacting with the narrator.

Moreover, what the narrator said also implies a fact that the narrator has absolute control over the entire game. He can rewrite the entire story at will and control Stanley's life and death at will. All this depends entirely on his mood.
