There's a bold title for you.

You likely know that I'm talking about The Stanley Parable.

It's a single conceit of a game that makes you second guess both it and yourself constantly. Pretty clever stuff.

If you think you might play it at some point, don't watch the video. Instead, go buy it now, it's less than $10 in the Steam sale (and it's on consoles) and play it for an hour with no assumptions. Don't read reviews. Don't watch videos. Going in cold will give you an entirely unique experience.

That's it. Warning done.

The Stanley Parable Plays You

This is, in my humble opinion, the greatest game ever made. Including this session I have played both it and the original version that this expands for less than 4 hours combined. What makes it so good? Play it with no further knowledge, or watch this video and I'll expand my thesis.

I'm amazed. Didn't you say you were saving the rest of this game for a special occasion?

Luke Harrison

Does it matter if I get original or ultra deluxe?

Hidalgo Riveria

Did you ever end up finding the specific ending that you were looking for?

Played it got a lovely blend of wry smiles, frustration and a dose of addiction combined with the worry of having to switch off in the evening without a save option - aha ha ha ha, I am just a machine!

I grabbed the Ultra Deluxe. This game is stranger that I could ever imagine. And my wife continually scolds me for _not_ doing what I'm told. 4½ hours in; I've unlocked the bucket and the first sequel. This is the pick-a-path story from hell, and it's most amusing.

Now that I've played the game for the first time, I must decide whether I wish to obtain the _Welcome Back_ achievement alongside the _Super Go Outside_ achievement. Should I put the game down until 30 June 2036? Maybe pick it up again on the day of my 56th birthday? Y'know, I just might do that; but what does that mean for watching this video?

To anyone who hasn't played, play the demo first. It's a fantastic tongue in cheek demo that gives away nothing about the actual game. It has an amazing intro scene as well.
