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. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand.
But as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. The game is not here to fight you; it is inviting you to dance.
Based on the award-winning 2011 Source mod of the same name, The Stanley Parable returns with new content, new ideas, a fresh coat of visual paint, and the stunning voicework of Kevan Brighting.

I'm going to be 100% to say if you find this thread lacking information, its because you don't want to give information to people after you've played this game. Its one of those games where the less you know, the better.There is a demo on steam located here > http://store.steampowered.com/app/221910 (under where you buy it) and it has no spoilers in it, it is just a short intro to how the game works.
The narrator has the most sexy voice, the achievements are confusing ("Achievement: This is an achievement" And "Go outside: Don't play The Stanley Parable for five years" And the best one IMO "8888888888888888: 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888") in the best of ways.
If you really want a example as to what to expect from this game then there is this
I should mention its one of those games you will want to stop and look at everything. I mean everything. LOOK AT THE CRACKS IN THE WALL(There may be something there).
I only got the closet ending so far, gonna play it non stop later today, but it just seems to have an endless amount of choices I just don't know if I'll be able to try them all today.
EDIT :
DO NOT READ IF YOU HATE BEING SPOILED
He just made me play minecraft and portal, oh god this game is too much
i downloaded and installed the game, just one problem.. when i run the game this is what happens. no menu buttons, no move around control, nothing. I would love some help please. ive tried changing my resolution even treid re-installing it. (fixed now) the amount of detail in this game is unbelievable. I definitely enjoyed the
Already gone through 3 endings or so, the Confusion Ending was my first one, where you go through the right door instead of the left one, then following the instructions, then the regular ending doing everything the narrator says, and then finally the ending where you go downstairs instead of to your boss' office.
Really enjoying this game so far, I didn't expect much but it was really intense when I went down those stairs, you guys have to try that out.
edit: just completed all endings and side-endings, blah blah, did all the easter eggs and stuff. Game was really fun, I just wish there were more outcomes and possibilities to it, because I completed it quite quickly. The only one that I haven't completed nor do I wish to ever complete is the 4 hour real ending.. god help anyone who has actually done that. My favorite is close between the real ending where you follow everything he says and the crazy ending where you go downstairs. The escape pod is pretty cool as well.
Hilarious game. So many decisions on what to do as well.

SPOILER
There's a scene in the game where you have to press a button repeatedly to save a baby from getting burned in a fire; it's not fair because it's inevitable death anyway. Highlight of the game for me.

HOWEVER
turns out if you save the baby for a total of 4 hours straight, you get a really special ending
