The Stanley Parable: UD

I have played The Stanley Parable since I was younger, it was one of the most best worst games I’ve ever played, but I feel as if this mobile port is missing a few things. For example, if you jump down the catwalk (iykyk) it doesn’t seem to have that narrator line saying “You guys were bragging about how you found this glitch on (social media app), yes good job” or something like that. You guys seem to deliberately remove it as the caption plays for it for a split second. Why? Can you not say (social media blue bird app) or be rude on a mobile game? Another problem, you can’t climb chairs. I don’t know if this is actually a bug or this “bug” is just exclusive to the free trial of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. It would really be of upmost importance if you to clarify on that. And, thank you. Not just for your service, but for taking the time to read my review. Also, that fee I have to pay is a real bummer. Please remove it and I will improve my review to 5 stars. Unless it’s new content?

Let’s be honest, I am in love with this port but there are glaring issues or things that I want in the future update. Here’s a couple of graphical and visual bugs I found: the bucket ending after unplugging the phone has a problem with the scroll text of the credits, let’s say that they stop in one point or get stuck while the normal ending’s scroll text ends abruptly; when you walk forward and back from the boss’s office door and finally arrived at the escape pod with the bucket there’s a graphical bug that flickers with black boxes on the ground - I have the photo of it but I can’t put in this review. Lastly and this is a preference that I wish for a future update: make an option to choose from performance mode or graphic mode, this means less anti-aliasing and better texture quality across the board; let’s be honest, our phones can handle better graphics, I know that it is possible to make this port look better! Now, I hope this helps with the feedback. Please don’t take it personally, I just want this app to be loved and appreciated more. Thank you and have a gorgeous day.

FYI: This game has a free trial where you can play a couple endings before you have to face a $15 paywall (or you can pay right away, but then how will you experience that sweet, sweet free-trial-ending new content?). But that’s cheaper than what I spent to get the game on Steam, and definitely cheaper than what my BF spent to order me the Collector’s Edition after a particularly bad day… I’m definitely the target demographic for this game, but I highly recommend playing it for yourself! You can now even get a taste of the actual game itself to decide if it’s right for you first (though the Demo for the 2013 edition has its own little spark too). I completed the entire game on PC besides the 10 year achievement (obviously), and from what I’ve played on this port so far, it seems to hold up. If you want to have your own Stanley Parable on the phone you’re carrying around all the time anyways, this is a great option. Don’t know how I’m gonna spend another Tuesday on this game, though…
