The concept of ignoring the narrator is similar, but I feel where the themes of the stanley parable revolved around the illusion of choice in video games, this has plot threads with cosmic horror elements or entitlement of some gamedevs and some players.

Ah. I hear ya.

It's really not a good sign that the game description gives away the big twist, or that the whole meta thing has been done dozens and dozens of times by recent games

I've seen reviews from people who think that the judas ending is the only ending. Being upfront that most of the game's content is in the meta aspect of the game is kinda necessary.
