The Stanley Parable

I could just not believe my eyes when nobody talked about this. This mod might not be about gunplay like HL2, but instead is like a happier version of Dear Esther.

You play as a man named Stanley, who worked for a large company where he was employee 427. Others might have found this job soul crushingly boring, however Stanley loved his job, until one day, when the most peculiar thing happened, he had been at work for nearly an hour, until he had noticed, that nobody else had shown up for work.

The rest you will have to find out in this Epic Saga of Stanley

Looks very very interesting and promising, although I do not get how it is going to play out.

Think I had this in my download que at some point, but took it out before it finished. I’m gonna go ahead and correct that mistake.

Trust me, well worth your time to download

I played it today. Awesome game. I waited so long for a game with multiple endings and this game does a good job at it.

The story is pretty neat, but the level design is terrible.

It deserves a remake like Dear Esther did.

Stanley was fat and stupid, and really really ugly.

He probably only got his job through some sort of family connection, or drug money.

Also.

Stanley is addicted to drugs, and hookers.

wat the hell are you talking about.

Play the mod.

You have disapointed me.

:hmph:

This game goes beyond being a game.

Downloading it now. Sounds interesting.

I deliberately did everything the narrator told me not to do…

…Stanley sure is rebellious!

Downloading, will take about 40 min, because my internet sucks ass.

It’s kind of short, albeit it has multiple endings. Not bad.

Saw all 6 endings, was FANTASTIC. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

Except few glitches. Like you can trap yourself in several occasions by closing doors that the narrator has opened.

Also, it’s sometimes very vague, but it’s the beauty of it. Nice job devs!

This reminds me of a Dr Seuss book, except if Dr Seuss was evil.

Gonna try this thing out.

This was awesome, and I am overjoyed by there being a thread about it.

My favorite part was the nuclear detonation sequence when he tells you EXACTLY what you are doing. I loved it because it was true. “YES I AM TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT SO SHUT UP REFSPIRNAHAOTHJATRGH boom

My favorite part in the Stanley Parable was (spoilers in the black) [COLOR=‘Black’]when you go to the elevator and the narrator says that you are so bad at following directions that’s why everyone probably disappeared.

Game was rather short, though.
