Title: The Stanley Parable
Post by: Masterpiece on 11 Oct 2013, 14:48

The Stanley Parable Demo (http://www.stanleyparable.com/) has been released on Steam, and it's been pretty awesome.
But I'll spoiler everything if I start talking about it, so I advise, press the link, get the demo, maybe try the original mod, and GET EXCITED.

And once you've finished the demo, you can answer this question:

How long did it take you to realize that the writing at the beginning was not a cutscene, but just a piece of the wall?

Wasn't this originally a Half-Life 2 mod or am I missing something?  I keep seeing this being lauded as something new and wonderful when it's pretty old.

The mod was free originally but this is an entirely new release and they're asking money for it. I played the demo as well, it gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect, all things considered.

When the demo began my hand was already on the mouse and moved slightly, so I figured that out immediately by pure coincidence. :-D

Cire27, it's a remake by the original creator. Just click on the link in my original post, and it'll expl- wait no it won't, but you'll get the idea.
I love their website.

I laughed out loud at the "Please muse about your mistakes" part

I wouldn't exactly call it a remake. From what I've read about it, the mod was just an appetiser. This release is the main course.

Heh.

It took me a moment, but I was braiding my hair while I was waiting on it.

And then after a few seconds I was all "...wait a minute."

Right? I felt exactly the same way! And now I'm excited for the main game, since it looks as though their writing and level design got infinitely better.

Meh, I'm not. I mean, this demo wasn't even representative of what the Stanley Parable is!  :parrot:
