Hello guys, I’ve noticed a lot of people here are hungry for more games like the Stanley Parable. After playing the O.G. game and the Deluxe edition I’ve found myself wanting more of this. More of these meta, narrator led, weird humour games! I started work on my called Do Not Press The Button (To Delete The Multiverse). You can check it on Steam here and follow the development.

I’m really open to ideas and suggestions of stuff you maybe miss in The Stanley Parable or mechanics you would like to see or even wacky characters! (So I can shamelessly steal them, nah j.k. I will ask your permission to include your ideas)

Awesome! Will definitely check it out. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s a nice collection of tips for indie game devs: https://develop.games

(I realize this reads as a bot comment, lol, but that’s a genuine tip, and that website isn’t even monetised as far as I know).

Gotta be careful with approaching it from this angle. Setting out to do something like this ain’t the best way to achieve it.

Yeah, I agree. It’s a tight rope. I’m trying to bring on enough original ideas so people can enjoy it without thinking about The Stanley Parable constantly. Hoping it will work out. I have a demo that is meant to demonstrate the spirit of the game too :))

I wouldn’t even care if it came off as just more Stanley Parable as long as the ideas are new.

“I want to press the button - an essay” - actually funny stuff! I didn’t expect to chuckle, but I did several times. Wishlisted to keep an eye on it!

Thank you, wait to see the ridiculous essay people have sent (I’m thinking of putting them somewhere in the game)!
