Has anyone played this mod? It is intriguing, and the narration is incredible. What endings did you get?
I did the "Story" Ending where you follow the rules. And then I did the one where you ignore everything he says. But after the City 17 escapade, I fell down the crack and back into the office, where I went through everything, except I went downstairs, and he blacked out the game on me.

It is just an odd gem of a mod I found. What did you guys think of it?

I haven't played it because I don't have Half-Life 2 on steam, but I watched a video with all the endings and I can say this. The Stanley Parable explores the relationship between the player and the story told in games through the very thing that makes our medium unique; interactivity.

It is a wonderful exploration of absurdism and existentalism that could only have been told in a game because of how personal it is in regards to the player and the narrator. It also helps when the narrator has a superb voice.

For anyone who's interested but doesn't want to download it (Hint: You really should) I'll embed the video. Enjoy.

Do you own any Valve Games? You just need a Source Engine game like TF2, Portals or Left4Deads to play it. And I'm not watching that video, I ain't spoiling the other endings for me.

It's really good, but it's completely ruined if it is spoiled for you. Got all the different endings, all of them were really unique and interesting in their own way.
