Now that it’s been more than 10 years since the original mod, it’s almost weird to return to The Stanley Parable. Especially for me, since back then I enthusiastically proposed to translate that mod into Russian and was among the first to hear that a full commercial version of it was planned. And now we have a new version of the game, which, in spirit of the original, is well aware that it’s a new version of an old game that was a mod. It’s really awesome. But I wonder how I would’ve felt about it without the prior connections.
Oh and to get it out of the way, I’m absolutely not connected to this release of the game. Not that I’d want to translate anything into Russian anymore, but even so, this time it’s a professional translation made by professionals, and not some Ukrainian jerk.
