- New Game Announcement: Wanderstop - 8 June 2024
Hi all, this is Davey, the writer and originator of The Stanley Parable. I'm making this post to let you know that I've just announced a new game that I've been working on for a number of years, called Wanderstop. Wanderstop is a narrative-centric cozy game about managing a tea shop and going through difficult changes. It's certainly a departure for me, a style of game I've never really worked on before, but I'm pretty dang happy with what we've managed to create. Our announcement trailer does a pretty decent job of capturing the narrative tone and the gameplay that you can expect: The game will be out later this year. If you'd like to wishlist it on Steam, here's a link. Thanks everyone!!
- People are horny for Stanley Parable's narrator now, I guess - 11 April 2023
Step aside Ghost , there's a new videogame character sending the internet into a horny frenzy. I'm not quite sure why or how this has happened, but The Stanley Parable's narrator has been receiving some rather favourable attention across TikTok and Steam reviews lately. By favourable, I mean people being down atrocious for this transcendental being... Read more.
- This cursed mod replaces The Stanley Parable's narrator with TikTok's female text-to-speech voice - 26 July 2022
In a classic case of the PC gaming community asking whether it could, instead of whether it should, a modder has created a mod for The Stanley Parable that replaces the game's iconic narrator (brilliantly voiced by Kevan Brighting), with Tiktok's female text-to-speech voice... Read more.
- This Stanley Parable demake sends the metatextual pencil-pusher back to Quake - 29 April 2022
When Stanley approached a pair of two open doors, he took the door on his left. Except, instead of walking through the door, Stanley kicked up his legs and bunny-hopped through the office, building up ludicrous speed and whizzing past meta-textual videogame commentary as he blew down door after door with a rocket launcher...

- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is coming in April - 30 March 2022
It's been quite the wait, but The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe now has an official release date, and it's coming out soon. The expanded edition of the groundbreaking 2013 indie game will launch April 27 on Steam, and it'll be adding a wealth of new content to Stanley's introspective adventure. The Stanley Parable is a game that in ages past was somewhat derisively called a 'walking simulator,' but it's a rather biting and stark look at the fundamental ideas of game design and the relationships players form with game worlds and mechanics. Playing the game involves interrogating your own inclination to either follow the directions the game provides or attempt to break the rules, and The Stanley Parable's dryly funny narrator remarks on each decision you make. As we've reported , the 'Ultra Deluxe' edition of the Stanley Parable will include new content, meaning new adventures for Stanley…

- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will mess with your mind in new ways this April - 30 March 2022
It's been nearly ten years since The Stanley Parable stuck a fork into our brains and twirled it around like a bowl of spaghetti. The first-person adventure, a seemingly simple story of an employee dutifully following an offscreen narrator's instructions, quickly branched off into absurd, baffling, hilarious, and sometimes disturbing pathways as it explored the nature of choice and free will in video games...

- The Stanley Parable's expanded Ultra Deluxe edition finally arrives in April - 30 March 2022
Several years later than planned, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe finally has a release date: April 27th. It's an "expanded re-imagining" of the surprising and funny and first-person explorer about an office worker who ends up on a surreal adventure probing strange depths and crashing through the fourth wall. Now, his adventure will be even bigger. The devs claim that "the script for the new content is longer than the script for the original game." Read more
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will be out early 2022, for real this time - 2 December 2021
During the Game Awards in 2018, an expanded version of entirely serious office-life drama The Stanley Parable was announced with a release date of 2019. As that year drew to a close, the release was pushed back to 2020 , "probably before summer, but it sort of depends on the specifics of how development goes". That didn't work out either. News of its delay to 2021 was delivered via borrowed delay announcements from other games . By this point, nobody was taking the date seriously... Read more.

- So who's meeting up at this year's Crows Developer Conference? - 14 April 2021
Crows Crows Crows, the folks working on The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe , have revived their ridiculous browser MMO replacement for the Game Developers Conference and it's just as surreal as before. Oh, is it your first time at CDC? Don't worry, it's just like every other conference. You walk around trying to make small talk with people you probably don't know and everything that comes out of your mouth sounds like a bad Mad Libs sheet. Read more
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is delayed until next year - 19 August 2020
Looks like we’ll be waiting a little longer to roam the new trippy corridors of Stanley’s office building, because The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has been delayed again. It was originally expected in 2019, then this year , and now we won’t be seeing it until at least 2021. The co-developers at Crows Crows Crows revealed the bad news on Twitter by, uh, borrowing some corporate ‘our game has been delayed’ images and slapping their own info over the top. (more…)
- The Stanley Parable and Watch Dogs are this week's Epic Games Store freebies - 21 March 2020
We’ve missed the Thursday mark, but there’s still time to snag some free games over on Epic’s shelves. This week, the house of Sweeney are giving away The Stanley Parable and Watch Dogs . One is a sprawling, meta-textual comedy narrative about control and the nature of stories themselves. The other has a bloke with a neat cap.

- The Stanley Parable Responds to Your Letters and Emails - 28 November 2019
Lots of people have been reaching out about an update on The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, so we asked The Narrator to respond to a few of the letters and emails we've received. If the above video is broken in Steam you can watch it on YouTube here.
- The Stanley Parable's narrator answers your (definitely real) release date concerns - 27 November 2019
Is that a tingling in my ears? Has Kevan Brighting’s soothing voice returned to comfort my lobes? The Stanley Parable ‘s narrator is back in a new trailer, and he’s got some concerning news regarding the development of the upcoming Ultra Deluxe edition. Reluctantly, regrettably, and due to popular demand, it appears the labyrinthine adventure’s second remake won’t be launching as planned this year. (more…)
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe's release date announcement is a journey - 27 November 2019
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe , which promises to torment Stanley with new choices and endings, was originally due out this year, but with 2019's end fast approaching, the game is running out of time. In the most Stanley Parable way possible, developer Crows Crows Crows has announced that we're going to have to wait a bit longer.  News of a delay is usually greeted with understanding because nobody wants a rushed game, but I've not seen a developer put quite such a creative or positive spin on it, but then The Stanley Parable is pretty weird. It's milking it more than a little bit, but I could listen to the narrator respond to letters all day.  Despite the narrator's protestations, however, it sounds like things haven't been going as smoothly as the developer might have hoped, so the release date is being pushed back until next year, hopefully…
- One of the devs behind The Stanley Parable made a free MMO - 9 August 2019
Indie developer Crows Crows Crows, whose founder William Pugh is one of the developers behind The Stanley Parable , has released a free browser-based MMO. It is described as “a mix between Journey, RuneScape and that time U2 s new album got auto-installed on everybody s iPhones.” The Club – a blocky 90s-Internet styled multi-player discothon whose name is surrounded by the animated GIF flames of a Geocities fan page, and whose club tracks sound like a DJ set by David Lynch – is a mission-less, non-competitive, online music listening game. It is hell. It is perfect. (more…)
