I really liked the demo. There's nothing on the market quite like the Stanley Parable (excepting the HL2 mod).
For anyone on the fence because the article didn't mention this, the demo is not a part of the full game, but rather a 20-30 minute trek through [i]more[/i] content, to show you how the game feels to play.

aka no spoilers go play it
Programmed by ex-fp mod Gran PC.
Is this just a remake of the original mod or something new?

Everything is new in terms of content. Based on the original concept.

Ready to go!
[I]It is now to do, or [B]not[/B] to do...[/I]

The original can be considered the proof of concept.

the prophecy is complete
That was enjoyable, seems like a more complete and fleshed out version of the HL2 one.

He's still a mod in my heart.
Not gonna tell me what it's about? I'm not gonna play it.
I like how the demo addresses me as a human being playing the demo and not a player.

I don't know if anyone knows what it is about.

are you [b]scared[/b] of the stanley parable?!
It froze when I tried to quit. I'm not sure whether it was coincidence or if they were trying to make a point that I'm not in control...

No. I have no fucking idea what the hell it's even about, and I'm not about to clean off some harddrive space for a game I have no idea what the hell even is.
well, since its a source engine mod
i'll give it a try

Because it's that difficult to remove a game you probably haven't played in the last year to try something new...
well you're missing out then.
There's a little homage to us if you type facepunch while ingame. Not in console, just type out facepunch
as I've said before
This game is the perfect model of what horror games [I]need [/I]to be
imagine, if you will, amnesia, with the disorientation of the Stanley Parable
At first I was intrigued, then it felt like more and more control was being taken from me and I didn't like it.
[sp]When it took me back to the start and said "think about all your mistakes" I said to myself that I would run ahead past the waiting room, then skip trying to go the the voting buttons and allsorts, and then suddenly it changed completely.[/sp]

You sound like the sort of guy to never try new things unless you know exactly what will happen.
Thats also known as being a drag.
I thought the demo was terrible, it didn't actually show me what the game was about.
I'm guess I'll have to wait before I spend money on it.
The demo failed at making me interested in the game. It had okay humor but most of the time was spent running around listening to the guy ramble on.
The art direction was also pretty shit imo.
Would be interested if they took a Portal approach with the story though

The game is about narration, and whether you should go along with it or not. That seemed pretty clear to me.

You could always just try out the original stanley parable
The Stanley Parable is a must buy for me, and the demo was awesome

Not to me. I've never played a game like it so that could be a reason. I wish it was explained more.
