Because that's a meta game joke about games that also gets quite dark at times? :D

It's a fun lead-in to meta jokes about gaming if the audience playing it already has some experience with gaming tropes. I wouldn't underestimate kids, because my 6-year old nephew was able to make sense of Opus Magnum's first set of puzzles (he's pretty damn smart), but The Stanley Parable's clearly aiming for a sort of cultural riffing that might not gel with a kid's expectations. It's a narrative without much in the way of play, puzzling, or NPCs.

Depending on the age of your child I'd recommend Blackwood Crossing if they are pre-teens. It's an interesting game with a strong and easy to follow narrative.

If you like the vaporwave aesthetic and don't mind a bit of meme humor, Broken Reality is a good one.

Memory of a broken dimension is another. That game is excellent. No violence in it at all.

Memory Of A Broken Dimension has no violence in it, because that game was never released !
Or did I miss something ?
It also looks like the game will never be finished.
Are you recommending to buy "early access" of a dead game ? Or pirate an early version of the game ?

I'm recommending to get it for free, as they were giving it away for free. Whether that is a demo or whatever, I dunno.
I played the demo for it years ago.

This thread inspired me to re-install Proteus. Quite a lovely experience, even if it's not ticking all the boxes of the original request. There's a really nice level of detail in the world in terms of nature, which you can just sit and admire (somewhat literally -- I think it's the only game I've played which has a "sit down" key).

DayZ had a "sit down" key (which it inherited from ArmA II). I used to sit down by a campfire, cook some food, and watch the sun set.

You could have gone outside for real.
