The Stanley Parable Launch Trailer

20% off during launch week!

The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand.

But as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. The game is not here to fight you; it is inviting you to dance.

He's what makes the game. Seriously. Every ending you feel differently about him, in some he's evil, in some he's nice, and there is one ending in particular where you feel really sad for him. You'll get used to him, and you'll get to love him. You'll learn he's just as trapped as Stanley... and yourself.

Just art in its purest form. I can't stress how much awesome this game is. It will be remembered for sure.

Stanley read this comment and was completely unmoved by its contents. In fact, he was beginning to feel as though he was wasting his time still reading it. As he continued reading, he thought of how the comment's attempt to read his mind and be witty was simply pathetic. Perhaps he would dislike it, or make a mean reply. But then Stanley realized that the comment was intended to waste his time.

Raphael would disapprove of this trailer

[Ward]

This game is so self aware, I'm surprised it hasn't turned sentient and turned on its creators.

[EterPuralis]

You could probably write an entire essay about that bloody elevator.

Congrats to Rafael for receiving the "Don't play for 5 years" achievement today.

[NH-tmog]

one of the best games i have ever experienced.
thank you developers.

Anyone else hear "Stanley stepped into the broom closet" at 1:20?

[ThMincraftian]

I just finished it. It is VERY replayable, because of how good it is. A movie is about 1-2 hours long, and I just spent about four playing this over. There are so many different endings, you'll keep playing. Trust me.

Just imagine somebody named Stanley playing this game

I think this game mocks gamers: sitting in a room, behind a computer, pushing the buttons the game makes you push, feeling what the game makes you feel.
Also the narrator says his life is nothing: he is just doing what he is told to do until he dies.

You need to make a sequle. The Raphale Parable, or The Norrator Parable!!!

[emmadawngarofalo]

this game is literally one of the most important pieces of entertainment that I have ever consumed in my life

[IoriPlaysVideos]

Gaming world need more games like this.

[ThatGuy-evko]

Can you guys please make another Stanley Parable game? It doesn't have to be a direct sequel, just in the same world. And with the Narrator returning pretty please!

[Snatch_Kid]

"Ah yes, 2013, the year the stanley parable released"

[EHAmos]

I played this game for the first time on LSD and it was the single most engaging thing I've ever done in my life, my mind was blown, I laughed a lot, and the narrator followed me out of the game for a few hours

[jackTabsCode]

God, this game deserves a movie. I can imagine it being FANTASTIC...
