The Stanley Parable (2013) is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end.
Originally created as a Half-Life 2 mod and turned into a full game (using the
Portal 2 engine branch),
The Stanley Parable is a thought-provoking game created by Galactic Cafe that intentionally averts and subverts the very rules of storytelling most games abide by.
Creating a unique dynamic of trust, the player can choose to follow the in-game narrator or to go against him. No matter the choice (even some that exist outside the game world), the game has a response ready, weaving around the general idea of choice that the game sets forth to create.
A sequel and re-imagination of The Stanley Parable, called The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, which runs on Unity engine along with adding new content while keeping the content from the original 2013 version of the game, has been released on Steam.
