I got all the endings.
My favourite was the one where he got splatted on the floor.
Just me?
Oh, well, just remember, it's not real. Except the narrator.
I'm talking to you, Elon Musk.
I know your secret.

I could listen to this narrator telling a story an hour long about how a sandwich fell face down and it would be entertaining.

Great game but disappointed Galactic Cafe didn't offer an upgrade path / DLC for those who already put their $$ down on this game years ago, I don't see the point of paying full price for Deluxe for the same game with added areas.

This is a game where you play as a man named Stanley. But it is also a game where you won't play as a man named Stanley. There's might be a game here, or not. I don't know. Go see for yourself.
By now I think you should realise that the mysteries and the comedy is what define this game. This is pretty much the kind of game I would make.
The price is a bit high for what I would pay for though, but as far as the game goes, I like the jokes and witty commentary that are in this game. The narrator is funny and very trollable.
By the way, to anyone reading this, what is your favourite ending? Mine is theb room closet ending!1 XD

As a child,I watched many lets plays on this game, I had practically every ending memorized, recently I bought the game, this may be the best purchase I've ever made in my life, I've never experienced a game within the vicinity of the intro cut scene in term of greatness. the level of thought and care put in to this game is incomprehensible. every single thing in this game is amazing, the amount of character Stanley and the narrator have without being seen/heard is incredible, you could be wandering around, walk into the broom closet and the game has more than 5 lines of dialogue just for that. this game has so much story to it to, while at the same time not having any, every story is not true and the other will contradict it, you don't know what to believe and that is beautiful. i would recommend this game very very strongly.
