The Stanley Parable is game about a man named Stanley who lives his life pressing buttons on a computer. However, when all his co-workers are gone, he has to explore the office building to find out what's going on and why this is happening. Even though the game itself has no true ending, it's still entertaining in every way shape and form. The narrative dialog is very intriguing and at sometimes funny. Although sometimes in narrative dialog, I find myself ranting about things he says.
Quick Examples
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. "Didn't I impress apon you how important it was to be like Stanley?"
Stanley's job is pushing buttons on a screen all day and taking orders from almost everyone. Pretty sure there's a reason why the player doesn't wanna be Stanley, even though he IS the main character.
2. "OK, fine, you're not gonna do it? But you know what? It's pretty humiliating to bring you this far only for you to suddenly decide you have better things to do!"
This thing has no voice modification system. It's obvious why I didn't do it.

Besides some negative dialog, the game is the most insane piece of gaming I've come across so far. This game has many endings, which made me wonder what kind of life Stanley has been living.
Theory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stanley was created by narrator for his own purposes. Those purposes are unknown. Could be to torture a soul for no reason, or because he was bored. Either way, the truth is, this whole time there was no boss, no co-worker, no wife, no kids, no nothing. Stanley lives in a universe created by the narrator and lives in endless limbo.
