How the Stanley Parable became a cult phenomenon 🔴
The Stanley Parable first released as a Half-Life 2 mod in 2011, and received about 64,000 downloads in its first month of launch. Today, we're exploring how solo dev Davey Wreden expanded his Half-Life 2 mod into the cult phenomenon it is today, relying on Kevan Brighting's voice acting, William Pugh's level design, social media and more to bring the success of the standalone game in 2013 and the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe in 2022.
