Guys, this is truly fascinating. You must play it. It's a free MOD for the Source engine. So if you have Steam all you need is the "Source SDK 2007" from the tools section in Steam (which is free) and you can play it. Truly brilliant game design. It's an experimental narrative-driven first person game surrounding the philosophies of choice. I don't even want to say anymore lest I give it away but if you love good writing you should play it. Also, there are multiple...paths you can take. I won't say anymore, but the writing is genius and the voice acting/narrating is very well done. PLAY IT.

The Stanley Parable

There are installation instructions included if you can't figure it out. It should be simple enough, though.

Sounds neat!  I lead a pretty hectic life at grad school these days, but I will definitely check this out . . . probably some time after this upcoming week, since I'm a TA this year and have some early responsibilites to attend to first.  I've bookmarked it so I don't forget.

Nice find!  Just played through this a few times!  Pretty neat!  Though, I kind of don't see the point of it in hindsight...  I wish it was longer with a bigger climax I guess.  Hopefully it gets expanded eventually.
