- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Collector's Edition - 28 March 2024
Remember the good old days when the Collector’s Edition of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe was announced? When there were 48 lazy hours until pre-orders opened and we danced carefree in the moonlight of possibility? Well, as with all things, time has killed those days of innocence stone dead. Now we are in the harsh and unforgiving present moment in which The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Collector’s Edition is no longer an optimistic glow on the edge of the horizon, but a harsh and unyielding fact of life, available for purchase now until stocks run out. Let’s be brave and look unflinching into the cold hard reality of what physical goods we have to offer! The special cover art for our Collector’s Edition box was made by Faith Oztürk, and depicts a player using the illegal “noclip” technique to escape the confines of Stanley’s Office. As you can see, there is nothing out in the void…
- It's an honour just to be nominated! - 23 December 2022
We've been nominated for a Steam Award for Outstanding Story-Rich Game! We've been watching a lot of Christmas Movies recently and if they've taught us one thing it's that all we've got to do is BELIEVE and we'll achieve our dreams. So I'm doing my part (believing) now you do your part (voting for our dreams/game) and we should have it in the bag! I am already preparing our acceptance speech so please don't let us down! Remember, we are up against Spiderman and God of War. I've not played either of these games yet but I hear from people that they are fairly popular so remember to vote as many times as you are allowed (it is probably just once, but I have not read the fine print as I've been pretty busy "just believing"). In other news you've all been very patient so I'm happy to announce that early next year we'll be releasing a patch with additional language support and a few small pie…
- The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe can now (sort of) play itself with its new auto-walk toggle - 20 July 2022
With the games release schedule starting to ease up a bit, I've finally found some time to really dig into The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe . I've enjoyed revisiting this meta first-person puzzler, but sometimes I can only manage small chunks before its endlessly repeating corridors start to feel like they're bearing down on me a bit. Thankfully, its latest quality of life update might just be the thing I need. As well as introducing a swathe of new accessibility features, its auto-walk function now has a toggle option - and as developers Crows Crows Crows have noted on Twitter , this means that "so long as you're in a straight corridor it allows the game to play itself!" Magic. Read more

- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe launch trailer is not here - 27 April 2022
It's 4/27, which means Employee 427 is back on the clock. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has arrived, and Stanley stans are no doubt excited to explore the "expanded reimaging" of 2013's brilliant comedy adventure. I'd honestly just skip my glowing review and go buy the thing (which is 33% off for the next week for owners of the original) so you can dive back into the familiar adventures of Stanley which eventually become quite unfamiliar thanks to several hours of Ultra and Deluxe bits that have been added...

- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe review - 27 April 2022
I've never given much thought to the "skip dialogue" button in a videogame, but after playing The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe I can't stop thinking about it. The button (it's a physical button in the game world, so you have to be standing in a specific place to use it) is just one of several new features you can take for a spin in the "expanded reimagining" of 2013's The Stanley Parable. Once again, stepping into Stanley's shoes turns the act of playing a game into a hilarious, surprising, and at times deeply thoughtful examination of games and game development, players and player choice, and yes, even the consequences of pushing a button...
