How many articles appear on the internet every day? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? The next set of letters would easily be lost in this abyss, but by a happy accident you noticed it anyway. You may be thinking, “What? The Parable of Stanley.” Or “Wow, this is a remake of the same game.” In any case, an interesting adventure awaits you!
Great, you’re there!
Usually the first step is updating the reader. You know, to tell what kind of game we want to discuss, where it comes from and what is remarkable. But you know what The Stanley Parable is without me? Or not?
Usually the meeting room is full of lifeWell, The Stanley Parable is a mod that came out in 2011. The Stanley Parable is also a standalone game that caused a furore in 2013. And now, after another nine years, it’s time for a remake The Parable of Stanley: Ultra Deluxe. The project moved to a new engine, got nicer and got, ahem, new content.
What’s so special about Stanley’s likeness? Everybody. As one reviewer wrote, “The Stanley Parable contains all the games in the world.” She was Skyrim, she was Persona 3, she was everything.
This is because someone of infinite talent has managed to cover so many subjects. You have dealt with issues of free will and choice. Understand the relationship between the creator and his audience. Get to the heart of video games. Laughed at the bustling jokes about the pain in the stomach. Or they were sad when it turned out that your share just meekly pushed the buttons the developer had in mind.
Museum of Achievement The Parable of StanleyAs a result, The Stanley Parable has received numerous awards, high marks on sites such as Metacritic, and massive audience love. This is one of the best indie games of all time. Considering that it was originally developed by one person, this is impressive. Do you now understand how legendary this game is? So we can continue.

Nice, you’re still reading!
What is the game about then? Imagine that every day you are busy with routine and endless meaningless work. Your job is to receive strange instructions and follow them mindlessly. It seems like a fairy tale, no life!
dramatic momentUnfortunately, one day you were out of assignments and then you completely noticed that all your colleagues seemed to have evaporated. Where did they go? Why has the work stopped? How to be now? Have to figure it out.
Luckily, even if there isn’t a soul around, you still won’t be left alone. Along with you is the voice of a kind storyteller who sincerely tries to help and gives sensible instructions. Are there two doors away? The voice tells you which way to go. Did you go up the stairs? Go upstairs and don’t even look at the lower floors. Found a few buttons? The narrator knows which button to press.
The voice takes care of you and leads you straight to happiness. He bravely breaks the veil of secrecy, gives the necessary answers, proposes passwords, warns of ominous forks where something terrible awaits. In general, everything will be fine if you listen to the voice. In the end, you even destroy the nightmarish machine that controls thoughts. Oops, sorry for the spoiler, I’ll cross it out now.
Where are you going?But you’re not like that, are you? Do you follow someone’s orders? You have an unyielding spirit of rebellion within you, ready to break down systems and fight for freedom.
You will certainly do the opposite. Does the narrator tell you to turn left? Let’s go right! Does the voice go up? Let’s run down! The mysterious manipulator was hardly ready for such an unpredictable rebellion – let him surrender, because you can not outsmart.
However, can you make decisions like flipping a coin? Or, in general, standing like a pillar and not moving, denying responsibility? Maybe even close in the pantry and sitting there? There are many options, try them all.
Now it’s not going according to planAs you already understood, The Stanley Parable is a story about you, the storyteller and choices. At the same time, nothing interferes with the story: there are no enemies on the way, the character can not even jump, you can only interact with a meager number of objects. However, it is precisely this simplicity that such a game needs.
It’s all about genius. Lots of games like cool Doki Doki Literature Club or Popular Inscryption tried to flirt with you, but no one even came close to the level of The Stanley Parable. Painfully talented dialogues are written and the narrator’s incomparable voice actors only add to the charm – his voice is added for a reason, even in dota 2.
The narrator has skillfully dramatized, nosed, mocked, parodied, and an astonishing amount of jokes. It was worth lingering in the back room or trying to take down the feat by pulling the handles on the closed doors, as the voice gave out such pearls that the stomach ached with laughter. However, there were plenty of sad moments when goosebumps of despair began to run across the skin. Or episodes where it got really creepy.
It was a shameOverall, there are plenty of reasons to love the original, but it’s not easy to put into words. The Stanley Parable is a must try for yourself. are you doing it? Rate the game? Do you believe she’s good enough to make time? Well, nice.
Serious? Are you still reading? Cool!
With the main game everything is clear (seemingly), but what has been added to Ultra Deluxe? Well, besides that, there are a lot of opportunities: the hero will ride the elevator, be able to jump 35 times and read the developers’ gratitude for buying the reissue.
vitalThink this isn’t enough for the high-profile name Ultra Deluxe? Okay, let’s add the ability to rewind the narrator’s lines, because sometimes it gets tired. And a huge hole that you can fall into, ahem, almost endlessly. And the button with your name – imagine you’re Jim before you press it.
Still not enough? Okay, here’s a bucket for you. Do not rush to conclusions, this is an unusual bucket – you still need to make sure that you are generally worth touching it. More than once it will save lives, give inner peace and point the right way. Overall a miracle, not a bucket.
Well, is there enough new content now?
Don’t even think about arguing with this statement!I know, I know you won’t be fooled. Do you feel The Stanley Parable can’t add nonsense as new content? Do you think the Storyteller has come up with a trick? And there it is.
However, it is better to get to the heart of the truth yourself. So do not click on the “spoiler” under any circumstances! Seriously, you don’t need it. Just scroll down the article, okay?

Thank you for being there!
You clicked on the spoiler, didn’t you? Well, there’s no going back. You found out that Ultra Delux is an unusual re-release. Calling it a full-fledged sequel still won’t work, but the Narrator still did a great job of impressing you.
You can’t skip new contentAt the same time, during the passage you meet content that … It is difficult to find words. Coming out of the loop? For example, the order in which time rewinds is so sincere that you appreciate every word the narrator says. Loving the moment. Appreciate what you have now. There are many wonderful people around us, whose presence we have long considered normal. However, it is worth being alone as a lump rises to the throat.
But don’t think Ultra Delux is loading. The narrator has not lost his charisma and continues to make rousing jokes. In addition, a bucket appeared in the game – you will definitely love it, something wonderful.
The magnitude of the bucket is indescribableIn short, and without new spoilers, the reissue exceeds expectations. The Stanley Parable remains a unique game, and it’s unlikely we’ll ever see one like it again.
You didn’t immediately jump to conclusions when you opened the article, did you? No you are not. You certainly didn’t scroll through the material, but carefully read it in its entirety, clicked the “Links” option in the survey, and decided to play The Stanley Parable on your own. This will get you plus a hundred on the respect scale, congratulations!
