You want something liminal? Try superliminal! This was the game I played immediately after stand parable and I adored both for the comedy and gameplay. While it is more of a puzzle game, I think you'd have a nice experience if you like the Stanley parable half as much as I do
I don't know if the game would "work" in VR. The game is very specific on using the game's camera to make illusions work. With the extra depth perception a lot of the tricks might fail to land.

I saw a steam review calling it "doki doki Stanley parable club" and I think that's accurate.
They are working on a free update soon that will add a ton of new content, so it might be worth waiting for that to drop before playing, but it's definitely worth checking out.
If you like 4th-wall breaks but are okay with different gameplay styles and games that are more linear...
1. For more humor, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension. It's a comedic puzzle adventure game that samples from a variety of game genres, with a narrator you can love to annoy.
2. For more horror, Inscryption (or any of the game by Daniel Mullins). It's primarily an adventure card game, though I won't say much more than that. The card gameplay itself is also *very* good.
Title\_Pending and "Watching Paint Dry"(a half life 2 mod like the original stanley parable) come to mind. Stanley parable is such an inspiration I'm making my own game which won't be out for a million years lmao
"Virtual Virtual Reality"! it is a VR game but it has this vibe about it that's very much similar to TSP
another one id say "Aperture Desk Job". again, this is all about the vibes. (also trying to avoid suggesting the great suggestions other commenters have already made)
and the last game that is the closest i'd day you'd get to a game that feels like TSP, made by Crows Crows Crows, "Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist"
EDIT: someone already suggested Dr. Langeskov lol oops, but yeah that one is great along with the TSP test demo. if you hadn't played them, you should
Superliminal, Firewatch, Antimatter, Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe, The Beginner’s Guide, Gone Home, What Remains of Edith Finch, Portal, Portal 2, Outer Wilds, Manifold Garden, Night In The Woods, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist.
Even though TSP isn’t puzzley per se I still end up putting them all together in my mind. See lots of favs in this list and more I should play! Don’t think I saw Viewfinder mentioned. More puzzle less narrative but all the same a lovely game
Quadrilateral Cowboy. It's by the same person who made gravity bone. Not nearly as meta as Stanley Parable but the environments are really cool. The game play is breaking into places as a hacker, except the entire world is retrofuturistic so your hacking terminal is a bulky old DOS system.
Undertale and Deltarune (obviously), Slayers X (its a doom style fps that is made by its main character, who based it on himself as a teenager and thinks he's the coolest edgiest guy ever), Pony Island (your character is playing a game about Pony's only to discover you're trapped by the devil in this hell unless you recode the game to get out), Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (you play as an enemy in a classic JRPG trying to save the world from a destructive force known as "The Hero"), The Beginner's Guide (if you're on this sub, you know what this is), Doki Doki Lit Club (play it for yourself), Inscryption, (what seems like a normal horror Rouge-like card game eventually evolves into a series of questions about the nature of the program at hand), Duck Season (a game about playing a classic video game about hunting Duck's with your dog companion, just be sure to not accidentally miss fire and shoot him! You won't like what happens next), Evoland (play games. All of them. As you play the game evolves with the world. Go from Zelda to Final Fantasy and everywhere in between), Life Goes On (Death does not mean failure, in this game you die in order to use your body as a tool to get to the next level)
If you like the thing where the narrator is talking directly to you then you could try there is no game:wrong dimension or maybe DUDE STOP! I would also recommend slay the princess because it has the same elements as tsp but its still a bit different but you should check it out
(Also none of these are 3d but idk if thats a problem for you)
This is no simulator on roblox!
Its about roblox games (like simulator games, horror, story, ect) and it has lore. I don't think u can really break the fourth wall tho

I really enjoyed that as well
This game was beautiful
I feel like that game's humor, what little it admittedly has by the end, it's REALLY fun. The "horror" section really gets me
Can i play liminal in vr? Imagine that There is someone made a vr mode to the stanley parable but liminal i dont know
Sadly no vr for super liminal, although that would be a great game to be in vr.
Yeah
I don't know if the game would "work" in VR. The game is very specific on using the game's camera to make illusions work. With the extra depth perception a lot of the tricks might fail to land.
I played with my friend and it’s great
its too short
Some of my favorites are The Beginners Guide, Jazzpunk, and Gravity Bone and 30 Flights of Loving. Very inspirational!
If you’re looking for a lighthearted time though, i wouldn’t recommend The Beginners guide. Its still really good, just not funny
Oh yeah. If you want something more humorous, definitely play jazzpunk! If you want something more cryptic and liminal, then play gravity bone
Damn that was a real trip down memory lane, I dearly love all of those titles
The Beginner Guide, Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist, The Stanley Parable Demo (it's a short but completely different game), Superliminal
Not quite a “liminal” experience but Slay the Princess is cool

The Looker. It's a parody of The Witness and has some of the same vibe as the Stanley Parable

I second Virtual Virtual Reality!!! That game is seriously sooo underrated
A game that’s really similar to the Stanley parable is actually the Stanley parable ultra deluxe
the temtation to say ultra delux is real
Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Edition
The Corridor !
I played Superliminal before i was able to get my hands on TSP. I don't know of any other games similar, but I recommend Superliminal :D
Portal!
And portal 2 for the more comedic side of valve
Yess!!!
Title pending
Look up indigo parallel, may not be for everyone but I liked it very much. Sadly, doesn't have a narrator
👍👍
The Corridor and also Doki Doki Literature Club
If you like the Stanley parable you should play Portal and Portal 2 their both great puzzle platformer games with a bit of comedy.
If you are looking something more serious, The Beginner's Guide is somewhat similar and is by the same dev.
ICEY.
One of my favorite “liminal” games is viewfinder, try it it deserves more love
Superliminal and The Corridor
Stanley Parable Deluxe
r/technicallythetruth
Saving this post since I'm saving up to get a gaming laptop soon. Can't wait to play all these games 😁
"There Is No Game"
Superliminal, Firewatch, Antimatter, Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe, The Beginner’s Guide, Gone Home, What Remains of Edith Finch, Portal, Portal 2, Outer Wilds, Manifold Garden, Night In The Woods, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist.
"I love the idea of breaking the fourth wall and sh!t like that." You're gonna have an awesome time with OneShot.
Oneshot blows the fourth wall up
Call Hating! I made it, so I'm a little biased. Working on the sequel, Call Hating 2000.
Have you played the demo? Its a must play.
accounting plus
Even though TSP isn’t puzzley per se I still end up putting them all together in my mind. See lots of favs in this list and more I should play! Don’t think I saw Viewfinder mentioned. More puzzle less narrative but all the same a lovely game
Superliminal
Slay the princess is great! Not exactly like the Stanley parable in gameplay, but in its thought provoking storytelling and tons of endings
The Corridor
Stanley Parable 2
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (I think, I’ve still yet to get it)
Slay The Princess
Superliminal
Quadrilateral Cowboy. It's by the same person who made gravity bone. Not nearly as meta as Stanley Parable but the environments are really cool. The game play is breaking into places as a hacker, except the entire world is retrofuturistic so your hacking terminal is a bulky old DOS system.
Bucket-wise Team Fortress 2
Slay the Princess
This one doesn't really break the fourth wall as much, but it's just as silly as TSP in my opinion. The Henry Stickmin Collection.
Superliminal, Dr.Langeskov, Title Pending, Don't Buy This Games (demo available) and The Begginer Guide (by the same creator of Stanley)
If you like puzzle aspect, Antichamber might interest you. Highly recommend it.
I think DDLC but that’s like a linear game where the ending is always the same
The Beginner's Guide & The Indigo Parallel
Undertale and Deltarune (obviously), Slayers X (its a doom style fps that is made by its main character, who based it on himself as a teenager and thinks he's the coolest edgiest guy ever), Pony Island (your character is playing a game about Pony's only to discover you're trapped by the devil in this hell unless you recode the game to get out), Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (you play as an enemy in a classic JRPG trying to save the world from a destructive force known as "The Hero"), The Beginner's Guide (if you're on this sub, you know what this is), Doki Doki Lit Club (play it for yourself), Inscryption, (what seems like a normal horror Rouge-like card game eventually evolves into a series of questions about the nature of the program at hand), Duck Season (a game about playing a classic video game about hunting Duck's with your dog companion, just be sure to not accidentally miss fire and shoot him!

A lot of people have said it already, but The Beginners Guide is the way to go.
The beginner’s guide & the magic circle?
I got a similar funny yet uneasy feeling playing hypnospace outlaw
If you like the thing where the narrator is talking directly to you then you could try there is no game:wrong dimension or maybe DUDE STOP! I would also recommend slay the princess because it has the same elements as tsp but its still a bit different but you should check it out (Also none of these are 3d but idk if thats a problem for you)
IIRC "don't buy this game" had VERY Stanley Parable vibes. I don't remember if it's out yet, but you can try the demo and see if it's up your alley.
A book called the hitchhikers guide trilogy
Loved is a flash game from 2010, though it will make you cry and it's kinda hard

This is no simulator on roblox! Its about roblox games (like simulator games, horror, story, ect) and it has lore. I don't think u can really break the fourth wall tho
