The Stanley Parable is a story-based video game designed and written by developers Davey Wreden and William Pugh. In the game, the player guides a silent protagonist named Stanley alongside narration by British actor Kevan Brighting. As the story progresses, the player is confronted with diverging pathways. The player may contradict The Narrator's directions, which, if disobeyed, will be incorporated into the story. Depending on the choices made, the player will encounter different endings before the game resets to the beginning.
Runs well on modern hardware.

There once was a man named Stanley. He played the Stanley Parable! Had a fun time. Would buy on the dime. For an overall good time! For an actual review would definitely recommend this game if you love Meta Humor. However, would get it on sale or just buy the updated Ultra Deluxe Version that has more endings and updated gameplay.
Such a simple game that works so well because of the humour and wit of the dialogue. You will want to spend the time discovering all of the possible endings. 8/10
genuinely almost cried during the zending and the incorrect ending (when youre detached from stanleys body). other than that, the broom closet ending is my favorite
