About The Stanley Parable
The Stanley Parable is a first-person exploration game in which you play as Stanley—or do not. You may follow a story or stray from it, make choices or find that you have none, and reach an ending or continue without one. As contradictions unsettle the rules of how games work, you explore a world that is not meant to be understood.
As you explore, meaning may begin to emerge from the paradoxes, and you may start to feel that you have power within them. The game does not oppose you; it invites you to dance.
A return to Stanley
The Stanley Parable is based on the 2011 Source mod of the same name. This version adds new content and ideas, refreshes the visuals and features voicework by Kevan Brighting.
