The game is not here to fight you it is inviting you to dance.īased on the award-winning 2011 Source mod of the same name, The Stanley Parable returns with new content, new ideas, a fresh coat of visual paint, and the stunning voicework of Kevan Brighting. This world was not made for you to understand.īut as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. The game will end, the game will never end.

You will have a choice, you will have no choice. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. Where so many games that aspire to be more than games end up less than any form of art, Stanley Parable strives, and then succeeds.Īstoundingly labyrinthine onion-like layers of narrative tangents the player can embark on in what feels like the unholy interactive offspring of Inception, Being John Malkovich and Portal. It's this bouncing between serious tone and irreverence that makes The Stanley Parable so special. It's the fact that it does so while simultaneously managing to be a wildly entertaining, hilarious, and surprising experience. It's not the fact that The Stanley Parable makes you think about the nature of choice in games that makes it extraordinary.

Let us give you our shame, for you to carry it around instead. It’s time to fix this, to unburden our shame. We’ve carried that shame around with us for years, a burden weighing on every moment of every day. We knew it were lying and we did it anyway. We told them it didn't need more content, that it was fine just the way it was, that it already had the perfect number of endings. When The Stanley Parable came out, a lot of people asked us for more endings and more content.
