Similarly, there has been speculation that Coda would represent Davey at a point in time after releasing The Stanley Parable, which he has publicly stated was a period of deep depression for him (as stated both in his blog and on a lecture).The word is derived from the Latin cauda, which means tail.
The first interpretation to surface, regarding Coda's name, is usually that of it being an Italian word, which is used in music notation to represent the trailing part of a composition.Because Davey turns out to be an unreliable narrator, we do not even know if he is telling the truth in the first place about even meeting Coda. In Escape, all of the statues we see in the different game variations are of women, possibly representing Coda. The female voice in Escape from Whisper is the only voice we hear coming from the games themselves, suggesting this may be Coda's voice. While Davey refers to Coda as a "he", throughout the games there are female pronouns used - and sometimes apparently when referring to the relationship between both of them. Throughout the narration, Davey mentions that Coda's games eventually began expressing themes of sadness, loneliness and reclusion, which leads Davey to presume Coda was facing problems related to depression, isolation and anxiety, increasingly pressuring him to seek to help his friend in some way. In the final parts of this game, Coda says, by means of messages written on the walls, that he does not want to talk to Davey anymore because of Davey's intrusion into the games and their private nature.įanmade artistic conception of Coda. In June 2011, after Davey had spent a significant time trying to contact Coda and understand some of the concepts in those games, Coda sends him a new game called Tower, which Davey perceives as very cold and dark. At some point, Davey had access to 15 games made by Coda between 20. They regularly talked online and Coda would send more games for Davey to play, sometimes returning from long periods of isolation and inactivity. Coda showed Davey other games he had developed and the two became friends. According to Davey, the two met in 2009 during a game jam in Sacramento, California.
