I would be careful about using The Stanley Parable for that specific purpose, because it is one of the easiest targets for "mindless waste of time" classification. Don't get me wrong, I totally like it, but the whole "game" can be described as "do a bunch of actions, pick some different doors every time, and then restart it all over again, except it might be slightly different, but you are still just choosing which doors to walk through, while listening to some voice". Note: I didn't "beat" the game (assuming there is some actual ending), but I spent a good couple of hours on it.
