Runtime: 53 Minutes
Rob and Dave take a look back at The Stanley Parable, originally released as a Half-Life 2 mod in August of 2011. We talk at length about its creation, and its evolution from a mod to a full-blown game. We'll also look at how opinion of the game changed over time, comparing reviews from the mod, to the 2013 release, and all the way through its 2022 release. Finally, you'll be able to listen to Dave gush about the game, as we take another trip down Memory Card Lane.
