Holy shit what

EDIT:

'The Beginner's Guide is a narrative video game for Mac and PC. It tells the story of a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand." - From the website description. Anyway I loved Stanley Parable so I'm pretty excited for something new.

EDIT 2: Screenshots over at Polygon.

Wow.

 

[Vincent4756]

Well this is an awesome surprise!

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Awesome

 

[Woffls]

Goodness me.

 

[Aaron D.]

Looks like I'll be playing a new game in 2 days.

[dark_inferno]

This time with Gameplay?

 

[banefirelord]

HOLY SHIT

 

[-griffy-]

Surely they mean October 1, 2016. Surely the game doesn't launch in a matter of days.

 

[gai_shain]

sweet cant wait!

 

[Jonm1010]

Love Stanley Parable so this is an incredible surprise.

It was only about a month ago I was wondering what the creator(s) of Stanley Parable were up to.

 

[PAULINK]

Will buy full price

[Ferrio]

Frog fractions 2?

 

[Beeblebrox]

I almost wrote a post saying how it'd be nice if we had more info but... this is actually great. I love The Stanley Parable, and I believe Davey will surprise and amaze me again, so it's great to just dive into his next game without knowing anything Bring on October the 1st!

 

[Aaron D.]

This time with Gameplay?

Don't do this.

 

[Kouriozan]

Nice surprise!

 

[-griffy-]

Nah, obviously a typo. It's unpossible for a game to be announced and released in the same week. This is 2015! That doesn't happen!

 

[K.Sabot]

So many unanswered questions...

Like distribution method, price etc. No steam page atm, maybe there won't be one? Also no Galactic Cafe

 

[DashReindeer]

Holy crap. Thursday is gonna be a great day.

 

[funkystudent]

Ohh. Cant wait.

Also for whatever reason the first thing that popped into my head was "I wonder if it will turn out to be Frog Fractions 2"

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

This is an interesting release strategy.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Ooooh.

I should play SP again

Spoiler

and again and again and again

 

[ashecitism]

Out of nowhere!

Frog Fractions 2?

 

[Aaron D.]

Nah, obviously a typo. It's unpossible for a game to be announced and released in the same week. This is 2015! That doesn't happen!

Maybe it's a new trend or something.

Fallout 4 reveal and launch date made many squee in joy.

"New game by Stanley Parable's @HelloCakebread, just announced: http://www.thebeginnersgui.de/ I've played it and lemme tell you, it is *wild*."

"Davey is one of my fav writers in videogames. I found the new game to be very funny, but I bet it will be quite controversial. Exciting!"

hmm controversial. I'm pretty excited!

 

[Trace]

Damn.

That's one hell of a release strategy.

 

[Zia]

Was wondering if him and Will would continue to work together. : (

Regardless, very excited. TSP is a special thing.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Wonder how much this one will cost. I enjoyed The Stanley Parable, but it didn't feel it was worth the price tag.

This time with Gameplay?

 

[burritosenior]

Well, Stanley was phenomenal, so I can't not get this I suppose.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Just stop it, PC indies. I can't keep up.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Bought at a high price, Stanley Parable was phenomenal

 

[Fractal]

Interesting... but it's quite risky to pretty much announce and release the game at the same time, especially for an indie dev.

Still, enjoyed Stanley, so I'll give it a go eventually.

 

[BiggNife]

This time with Gameplay?

But yeah, I'm really curious to see what this is. Stanley Parable was pretty great.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I see it the other way around. Especially that is good for an indie dev to release it close after the announcement as there is no marketing campaign.

 

[Whide]

Holy shit, buying this.

 

[Tregard]

RKO Outta nowhere.

You know I gotta buy this.

 

[UnluckyKate]

This time with Gameplay?

 

[Karl_Dilkington7]

Loved Stanley Parable! Day one for me.

 

[Hedge]

Oh my god, that I did not expect.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Aww yeah, I'm down for this! Stanley's Parable was really, really good

 

[petethepanda]

Yeeesssssssss.

 

[Lingitiz]

The ultimate stealth launch. Gonna check this out. Stanley is amazing.

 

[OniBarubary]

What.

What.

Give this to me.

 

[LiK]

oh wow, what a nice surprise. altho i'll wait for reviews anyway.

 

[aeolist]

a bunch of people i pay attention to are saying that this one's something special

can't wait

 

[ebullientprism]

Please put Stanley Parable on sale when this releases. I kinda missed it till now.

 

[llehuty]

Oh, I like this reveal, since this is the type of game that is better when you get into it blind.
