The Stanley Parable [HL2 Mod]

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


I played it, it was great. Lots of choices, lots of really creepy moods to it. Not the best level design, but some really grade-A voice acting and storyline. It reminds me alot of Dear Esther.

I too saw this mod and played it. it was great! a New innovative way to play that I had previously yet to see in a mod. Id say an 8-9/10 only because of the lack of incredibly good, loper-quality mapping.

I loved it. You shouldn't have broken the lighting in the HL2 map though.

I played this mod like, the day it came out I believe. I saw MaxofS2D post a playthrough and thought it was interesting. This is one of my favorite SP mods now. I have to say that I disagree with you on the mapping aspect. Even though it was unintentional of the creator to have dull mapping, I think it helps emphasize the boring aspect of Stanley's life.

Played all six endings. Good story. Good voice acting.

What a terrible mod. Why are people praising this as good? I don't get it, but it would seem because Notch (creator of Minecraft) suggested it it actually managed to get 18000+ downloads. I liked the voice acting but the rest was terrible.

2/10.

I hope this is a troll, or you're just reviewing based on how the maps look.

No trolling here. I liked the voice acting, I must admit I didn't play through all the endings, I quit when I managed to trigger two narrations.

You need to play out all possibilities in order to "get" the story :P

It sounds like you didn't download the fixed version.

I want to help make the remake. So badly. God I loved this mod. I loved how

The female narrator continues talking when you go to the main menu when she tells you to press esc and click 'quit' I know all the narration does this and It's because it's a sound file and not a scene, but it felt so... blood-rushing I suppose.

I'd love to work on a remake as well. At least it doesn't have to be Dear Esther quality. :P
