The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

[h2]Peak comedy[/h2] I pressed the button. Then I pressed another. Then the game called me out for pressing buttons. [b] 10/10 would disobey the narrator again [/b] Ultra Deluxe adds more endings, more confusion, and a bucket. [b]Yes[/b]. The bucket deserves its own mention. This isn’t a game. It’s an existential comedy wrapped in office carpets and passive-aggressive narration.

I have been looking forward to playing this one since the original The Stanley Parable (TSP) has such a reputation. Well, I cannot say my mind is blown, but I still have a really good time. The mechanics are actually rather simple: it is a walking simulator + choose your own adventure. For those curious, you can find the whole flowchart [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thestanleyparable/images/3/3b/StanleyParableUDEndingspng.png] here [/url] (spoiler alert!). In the following, I will delve into the details of the gameplay and its structure, while avoiding spoilers on the contents as much as possible. The basic structure (and endings) of this game is almost identical to the one of the original TSP; it has a few branching choice (e.g. choosing between two doors, going upstairs or downstairs), leading to around 20 different endings. TSP Ultra Deluxe adds a few entirely new paths and allows you to revisit most endings in TSP with a new twist, bringing the total number of endings to...

[h1]This is the review. This is not the review. This is the review again.[/h1] Stanley decided to write a Steam review. He opened the editor, placed his fingers on the keyboard, and began typing. "This game is brilliant," he wrote. Then he paused. Was that too obvious? Too expected? The Narrator certainly thought so. So he deleted the sentence. And tried again. "This game is a metaphor for—" No. No, that’s pretentious. "This game has a bucket." [b]Yes. Now we're getting somewhere.[/b] But suddenly, Stanley realized… he was no longer writing the review. The review was writing itself. In fact, [i]he didn’t remember launching the game at all.[/i] And yet here he was — describing doors, pressing buttons, questioning his own free will. [b]Was this part of the game? Was this the ending? Was this the beginning of the ending? Or the ending of the beginning of the review of the bucket about the game that reviews itself reviewing Stanley reviewing the game?[/b] He tried to exi...

My hyperfixation did NOT let go of me on this one Lmao tho I literally love this game. I replayed it an unholy amount of times

Just to let everyone know i also have 30 hours of playtime on stanley parable on my ps5 ik what im talking about which is why I just grinded and beat every level again and I have to say that this game exceeds my expectations every time it finds a way to change your perception in life and it sure as hell has for me im not tryna be corny and shi but this game is amazing and the narrator has me cracking up all the time with his humour, this game perfectly ties mystery and comedy and with a little bit of horror as well I mean its not scary but it had me at the edge of my seat when something was about to happen. The only flaw about this game is that after you finish everything it gets a little bit repetitive which is fine but yea and also (no offence to the narrator) but when he talks he rambles on a bit and I often find myself waiting a bit but the good definitely out weighs the bad overall 10/10 reccomended this to all my friends.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is the best visual novel on Steam (I got the self suicide ending)

This is a story of a user. He was at his bedroom, doing a awesome review for a game that he found on social media and decided to play it to experience the game by himself. The review was so astonishing that his friends totally agreed with him, and that made him proud. Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a game that totally made him immersed and curious about the plot's progression, and he said that the game is a total-worth it to play, even if Steam said that he only played 3 hours. Stunned by his own review, the user agreed to publish the review and spend the rest of his life on his gaming chair.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is not simply a re-release of the original 2013 cult classic—it’s a cleverly self-aware expansion that interrogates the nature of sequels, remakes, and player agency all over again. Developed by Crows Crows Crows alongside original creator Davey Wreden, Ultra Deluxe maintains the core essence of the original game while injecting it with a surprising amount of new content, meta-commentary, and subversion. The result is a game that feels both familiar and disorienting, as it draws players back into a surreal narrative labyrinth that constantly deconstructs itself and the medium at large. At the heart of the experience remains the simple premise: you are Stanley, an office worker whose monotonous life is interrupted when his computer screen goes blank and everyone else in the building seemingly disappears. From there, you're guided—sometimes antagonistically, sometimes pleadingly—by a narrator voiced by the ever-brilliant Kevan Brighting. His dry...
