“The Cake Is A Lie” is a genuinely brilliant piece of environmental storytelling in video games and I will never forgive you people for what you did to it

slow-riot-deactivated20200720

Alright I’ve gotten asked to clarify this post a couple of times now and what I mean by “it’s a brilliant piece of environmental storytelling” is that the place where you see “The Cake Is A Lie” first written is an entirely optional section of the game. You can only find it if you look in the right spot and figure out what to do. It’s not a necessary part of the plot, but it can clue you in on what is happening-that glados is lying to you and manipulating you-way before it ever actually happens. If you manage to find the ratman den that “the cake is a lie” is scrawled across the walls of, then you have made that discovery well before glados ever mentions a cake, meaning that if you were willing to explore, then you as a player can start to put together the larger pieces of the story without ever explicitly being told. It was a really effective way of letting the story happen to you rather than you being told what is happening and that interactivity is an advantage that video games have over movies and books and I think Valve handled it perfectly. Now if only they would make a game sometime this decade…

The Ratman lair in the first game, while being optional, is fairly hard to miss (it’s held open by a bunch of cubes and you need those cubes to drop on turrets! So unlike some very Easter Egg areas, it’s intuitive to find).

The feeling of first encountering that room is indescribable. The idea that another test subject before you has ended up in the supposedly “accidental” turret testing course - how long ago, and where are they now? How run-down and dilapidated everything looks. The grimy stacks of empty cans, empty water containers, scrawlings on the walls. The focus on GlaDOS as the other entity as opposed to just a random AI, one of many. You suddenly feel incredibly alone in a way you didn’t before - alone and aware of it - because you realise you don’t have the faintest clue of what the facility outside of your neat little test chambers actually looks like.

It’s… chilling, and it’s brilliant.
