The Stanley Parable - Raphael Trailer

[@jackklover6537]

Imagine if typing "raphael" into the game put you in a completely white room and a recording of the narrator saying "stanley" on a loop.

*''I had no free will in the game''* Not like that was the point of the game of anything

[@shtuffs]

You do have free will There are many cases where what the player did was not planned from the start: The Escape Pod Ending The Confusion Ending The Not Real Stanley Ending

[@-AlexMakesThings-]

@@shtuffs oh thats fine, no hate meh fam

[@ethanlivemere1162]

@@shtuffs Actually, I don't think it was supposed to be sarcasm. The point of the game is that you have no real free will, even when you think you have "outsmarted the game". Think of what the female narrator says in the museum ending: "When every path you can walk has been laid out for you in advance, death becomes meaningless, making life the same." Or what the Narrator says in the apartment ending: "In this reality he can be nothing but an observer." Sure, you have choice over which ending you go for, but in the end it's all predetermined. Every choice you make just leads to another scripted voiceline. That's not free choice.

We're always saying that

[@INTPTT]

Saying that the narrator talks too much in The Stanley Parable is like saying that there's too much crafting in Minecraft, or too many puzzles in Portal.

[@saunga1]

Or too much shooting in Call of Duty, or too much violence in Mortal Kombat.

I am really late to the party of the Stanley Parable, but I should say it - I fricking love this game. The people behind it are so creative and inspiring, I was both laughing and crying at the Narrator's words, and the story is just so simple, yet every step that I took as Stanley was incredible. Thanks for making this game.

[@ethanlivemere1162]

I would too, but I think it would take a REALLY advanced AI to actually pull this off, since there's no way to program "the ability to do literally everything" into a game without AI-generated content.

Did Raphael just... do whatever the narrator said? Never took the door on the right? Never went downstairs instead of up? Cause his complaints make more sense if that's the case.

I'm looking forward to Raphael's 2nd email and the narrator's 2nd response. "Hey, it's me Raphael again, I played the deluxe version of your game. It looks like you didn't listen to my insightful commentary which I thought you did when I said 'your game is on a good path I think', so I'm gonna donate a few more of my intellectual and emotional high class and extremely valuable insight that I normally only give to companies I am on a contract with but in your case I'm gonna make an exception because I feel sorry for you so this one is totally for free... ...bla bla bla bla bla... Good luck and best regards -Raphael "

[@peachymiku6432]

The funny thing is, they asked Raphael if they could use his quotes and he said yes! So really, he should have seen this coming!

[@BetaJackMaxis]

I knew that they weren't gonna let him get away with that sexist comment! You know you're good when you respond to a critic and make the critic look like an ass instead of yourself, because that almost never happens.

[@thedragonofdismashq]

U mAd 😡

[@Very-Uncorrect]

I like to pretend that Raphael is partially responsible for the existence of the skip button ending and epilogue, he wanted a more emotional game so the devs commited murder on all positive feelings

[@peachymiku6432]

I could see that being the start. The reviews were actual reviews based on the original game, just changed the names. Man, that Skip Button ending made me cry at one point.

[@aaandag9688]

I think the raphael thing in the console is supposed to make fun of this. Hence why the Narrator is always saying Stanley.

[@otaccats]

I transcribed Raphael's email, here it comes: "I just played your game, and I'd like to say it was the most annoying thing I ever played. It had its cool moments but overall the experience was only of annoyance. The problem is; that it does not touch the heart of people. It's a very emotionless game. Did you ask any girls to try out your game? I ask because they are blissfully less logical than us guys. I am very logical myself, but also very emotional, so, it was easy for me to find the game annoying. What happened is that your game frustrated me. I felt like I was being taken into someone else's hallways, doors and plans, to deliver me an experience that didn't touch me. AND WORST OF ALL; I had absolutely no free will in the game, no way to change anything, no impact, no power, I accomplished nothing. People play games because of what they can do inside them, and your game is very good at letting them know they can't do anything. Other things I didn't like, were the amount of Narrator dialogue too much, and that 'Stanley' is repeated all the time by the Narrator. Overall... Your game is on a good path! I think. Good luck with it and best regards, - Raphael"
