“The most spoiler-free and coordinated launch possible”
It’s best to go into theStanley Parablecompletely blind, butthisStanley Parable: Ultra Deluxewebsitehelps clue you into the vibe the game is going for, without spoiling anything.
That’s sort of the intent of the entire page, actually. In a very cheeky way, studio Crows Crows Crows provides the gist of what you expect, while providing soft “guidelines” of what constitutes a spoiler. As the site puts it, in the case of an early launch: “we expect you all to abide by the honor code and wait patiently until all other platforms and store fronts have caught up. This way, we can all hit ‘Play’ at the same time. Here at the The ‘The Stanley Parable: Ultra DeluxeRelease Preparedness’ Initiative we play fair.”
Everything from how they came up with the pricing for theUltra Deluxeversion, to spoiler guides, to spoilers in general (with a madlibs chart), to streaming is touched on. I don’t want to spoil much more, but suffice to say it’s a very similar feel in terms of how the Aperture company rolls from thePortaluniverse. There’s even an “honor system” certificate at the end so you can pat yourself on the back!
As for impressions on the game itself, expect those in the near future from our staff.
