"The Stanley Parable" is a new kind of experience that's difficult to put into words. In his search for answers, Stanley begins a journey of experience, after which nothing will ever be the same again. At least until one fateful morning, when his computer screen has no instructions for him and, to make matters worse, it turns out that all his colleagues have disappeared. He would never even think of questioning an order or letting his work slide. Always at the same time, he receives the work instructions for the rest of the day via his computer. Every morning Stanley sits punctually in his tiny office. The fact that "The Stanley Parable" ultimately has far more questions than answers to offer will eventually prove to be one of its greatest strengths. On the one hand, questions like "What is reality?" or "How much control do I have over my own life? On the other hand, the title functions not least as a satire on the tricks game developers use to transport their audience into virtual worlds. In return, it presupposes the willingness of the players to engage with the medium of video games on a purely intellectual level. It completely dispenses with any form of playful challenge. In 2013, the US developer Galactic Cafe released the tentative title "The Stanley Parable".
