http://www.galactic-cafe.com/the-stanley-parable-hd-remix/

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bB4AR5Crb54

Quote:
TSP:HDR will be released as a standalone title for Windows and hopefully OSX some time between now and when it's released.


Also a special version is coming to the iphone: http://www.galactic-cafe.com/the-stanley-parable-mobile-edition/

It's not a direct port, so it will be worth playing that as well! Smile

Quote:
TSP:Mobile is what The Stanley Parable would be if it had been designed for iPhone. It is the original game reimagined for the mobile, connected platform. While all the original content remains in some form, each ending and the story at large has been redesigned to speak to how the iPhone has shaped our culture and the games we play. Also there will be hooker jokes.


The mod was awesome.. give it a try if you haven't! http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-stanley-parable

Quote:
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

...it's actually best if you don't know anything about it before you play it Very Happy


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

The less you know the better... You will find it more surprising.

But Ok. The mod was like this:

There's a narrator saying eg Stanley went through the red door.
But in front of you are a red door a green door and say a ladder.

Depending on where you choose to go the narrator will continue the story differently acknowledging your decision in a humorous way.

As you can understand there are many paths and many endings depending on where you go, the order in which you go to places, etc.

It's very funny and also pretty clever in the way it shows you how your choices change (or not) the outcome.

There's no other gameplay. Just walking and maybe flipping a switch.

Demo: http://store.steampowered.com/app/221910/

The content is exclusive to the demo (won't be in the main game) and it's absolutely hilarious Laughing

This makes it a must download and play!!

I couldn't agree more, that must be the most unique demo that I've ever played, such a brilliant way to involve the player Laughing

It's the first time that I see some developers putting so much effort into a demo Very Happy

I can't even begin to describe how awesome that was. Now THAT was an effective demo! It's actually made me want to buy the full game now, I was sat giggling like a loon while playing it Very Happy

 Spoiler:
 


Has anyone actually waited the 20 minutes at the start? Laughing

~edit~

Oh and it seems the Mobile version has been cancelled Sad Turns out the team making it were less than committed and one of them was even actively avoiding working with the creator, which eventually devolved into the creator no longer enjoying the idea of the game and its development and the developers no longer wanting to work on it.

I'm trying to read as little as possible about this, but it sounds like it's right up my alley Very Happy

Am very curious Very Happy

Grabbing the demo now, hoping it's Rift-compatible

For a neat easter egg, enter "facepunch" at any time. Just type it on the keyboard.

If this isn't going to be too expensive, I'll buy it for sure.

It's very.. uh, what's the word? self-indulgent no question about that. Which is why I love it. Very Happy

BTW the full game (if the mod is an indication) is a bit different. The tone is absolutely the same, but it explores "choice". There were already moments like that in the demo (will you wait for your number?) but the mod was way more focused on that aspect if I remember well and I expect the HD remix to be as well.

Oh I know the demo content is unique to the demo, I've been reading up on the original and I *think* after playing the demo I've got a handle on how it feels. Definitely interested the hell out of me Very Happy

It's glorious! I can't even begin to describe it, and am afraid to tell anything because of spoilers. You get into a very close, weird relationship with the narrator.

I believe you, the launch trailer alone made even more curious than I already was after finishing the demo Razz

I bet the mod has been overhauled to the point that it's almost unrecognizable, which is great.
