The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end.
Today we are updating with an important (if very rare) bugfix. There was an issue where *spoilers ahead* [spoiler]damage done by the parasite ability did not properly send life back into the crack system[/spoiler]. This [i]could[/i] be made into a spiral of fail (by a truly dedicated player) that might create an impossible to recover from resource situation. We have a fix, as well as an attempt to correct the problem in save files of affected players.
Special thanks to Jetz on the forums, who spent a lot of time isolating the problem and sent us incredibly useful save files and repro steps. The bug was rare enough that no one else has ever reported it, but Jetz pushed the system as far as it would go and uncovered the issue.
As always, we are super grateful to our awesome players. Thanks for checking out the game and hope you have enjoyed it!
