Stanley Parable always reminded me a little of Starship Titanic. Anyone remember that game? I remember it was like a funny Myst.

Starship Titanic was creative and humorous. The character personalities were very detailed and interesting too, that stands out the most to me. They all had depth despite being machines. The crew is usually unhelpful and sarcastic and sometimes outright hostile.

The puzzles were extremely cheap and annoying though. You pretty much required a guide for it. That’s why I can’t truly say it’s underrated.

It's interesting to see this after the discussion higher up about British humor, since Starship Titanic was written by Douglas Adams.
Yeah, that's why I asked that particular poster about how they would place Douglas Adams in their two lists :)
Sure do, Stevedave. The lead up was more fun than the game, though, IMHO. Especially the email updates.
