![]() If players stand in a broom closet for long enough, the narrator will end up confusingly asking Stanley why they're still standing in the broom closet. The kind of meta-commentary that the game provides can however be explained by a pretty easy-to-find easter egg that really doesn't spoil too much of the experience. For those who haven't played The Stanley Parable, this moment is fairly critical in how players experience the game, so it's difficult to talk about without spoiling it. Players who have already completed The Stanley Parable might be able to imagine how the first decisive moment in the game could be messed with to play with fans' expectations. ![]() Needless to say, both of these developers are fairly comfortable writing meta-commentary. Pugh and his studio Crows Crows Crows developed and published Accounting+, a VR game that had players continuously dive further into virtual reality through in-game VR helmets. ![]() Wreden released The Beginner's Guide in 2015, which told the story of game development by literally walking the player through a series of half-developed games. Pugh and Wreden often commentate on the nature of games as games, especially in their work since The Stanley Parable. Given that Pugh and Wreden are both involved with the remake, it's almost certain that Ultra Deluxe will feature some jokes specifically for fans of the original game. However, it's also entirely possible that the development team behind this remake, Crows Crows Crows, will lean into the meta-commentary to mess with fans who've played the original. It's already been confirmed that The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will have more endings than the previous game, which implies that there are going to be new paths through the office.
