The Stanley Parable is an experimental narrative-driven first person game. It is an exploration of choice, freedom, storytelling and reality, all examined through the lens of what it means to play a video game.

You will make a choice that does not matter

You will follow a story that has no end

You will play a game you cannot win

...it's actually best if you don't know anything about it before you play it :D

TSP does not actually require Half Life 2 on PC, only the Source SDK which should download automatically when you start the game. On Mac, HL2 is required.

I'm very proud to announce the Stanley Parable Helpful Development Showcase! The TSPHDS is our way of connecting you to the development of The Stanley Parable by giving you a small look at
what's been going on behind the scenes. Each week we'll give you a tiny peek into what it takes to make a game like The Stanley Parable, the creative challenges we come up against in the course of
development, and how to not judge yourself as a person for the quality of choices you've made in your own life. These are just a few of the topics we'll cover in this incredibly useful blog
series.

Already the first three episodes have gone live:

All further installments will be at our blog, Galactic Cafe. We intend to keep posting these until the launch of the Stanley Parable: HD Remix, or until I burn out, whichever comes first! Thank you everyone for continuing to support the game, I hope this can be an
expression of our massive gratitude toward our fanbase!

No, you only need Source SDK IF you are on PC. Mac users also need HL2.

This is an exceptional mod. Beautiful narration.

Lowest Rated (6 agree) 4/10

it seems that i am the only one who doesn't like this map, (it's not a mod). I played both endings, and also did take the right door in the middle of the map, and again both options that are given there. So, i played it fully through. When i first read a lot of comments and reviews about this single small map i was really interested to see what people where talking about. What was it that made them all give this map a rating of nines and tens (9/10). But ones i played it i thought i missed something…
