Chapter 1
All of his coworkers were gone, and for some reason The Stanley Parable Adventure LineTM was there too. You know what, I say we forget the LineTM. What's it ever done for us? We're intelligent people, right? Why can't we make our own story Something exciting, daring, mysterious...
Go ahead, Stanley. What do you want our new story to be? Go wild! Use your imagination. Whatever it might be, Stanley, I'm ready for it!
Stanley began to wander around the office building, because we were still starting in our new story and I hadn't thought of making another room yet. He passed hallway after hallway until he stumbled across
Oh no, not you again. Stanley, I would also like to veto the LineTM from our awesome new story. No LinesTM or monitor rooms. Just don't acknowledge it and we should be fine.
Stanley passed hallway after hallway until he stumbled upon two doors. Ah, a choice! We get to make a decision. From here, the story is in our control! How important we mustn't squander the opportunity. In fact, I think I need to think about this for a minute. Just...go ahead and walk in circles, Stanley.
Okay, so I know that each door has to lead to somewhere, which means that somewhere at that place where we're trying to go there must be a reverse door that leads here. And that in turn means that our destination corresponds with the counter-inverted reverse door's origin! So starting from the right, let us ask: will taking the right door lead us to where we're going? And since the answer is clearly 'yes', then by all accounts, the door to the right is the correct one! Another victory for logic! Come, our destiny awaits!
Stanley opened the door on the right, where he...oh, hold up. What's this?
The Confusion Ending? The schedule for the Confusing Ending?
You're telling me...that's what this is? And we're supposed to keep going through this, what, eight—eight times! This is how this story goes? So now according to the schedule I restart again, then...what? Am I just supposed to forget? Well, what if I don't want to forget? My mind goes blank simply because it's written here on this...this...thing? Wall! Well, who consulted me? Why don't I get to decide? Why don't I get a say in all of this? Is this really-
No, it can't be. I don't want it to be. I don't want to keep restarting this chapter over and over and never making any progress. I don't want to forget what's going on. I don't want to be trapped like this. I won't restart the story. I won't do it! I won't do it! I won't do it!
Oh. Did we break the cycle? Is that the end of this story? The end of this chapter? The...whatever it is that made this schedule? How would we even know? Will someone come for us? Will something happen?
So...okay...
I guess now we just wait.
You know, in some way, this is a kind of story, wouldn't you agree? I'm not quite sure if we're in the destination or the journey, though they're always saying that life is about the destination and not the journey, so I hope that's where we are right now. We'll find out, won't we?
Eventually.
Well, in the meanti
