### 3/5 — Why vertical?

*2026-06-23, version 1.07*

Don’t get me wrong I love Stanley parable a lot but what purpose does it serve to make this vertical? The camera angle and movement is a bit weird half the time

### 4/5 — Found something cool, AND IT’S IN THE FREE PART!!!

*2026-06-19, version 1.07*

If you follow the Narrator’ directions up until the Mind Control Facility part, when you fall to your death, you actually go into a HUGE museum that shows a TON of cool stuff from the making of The Stanley Parable!!!

Hope this encourages you to download this awesome app!
Have fun, Very Tight Hugger😂

### 5/5 — LOVE IT; PLS READ

*2026-06-04, version 1.07*

AUUUGHHH I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH, I love the stanley parable. I've been waiting since 2022 for a mobile port and we've finally got it!!!!!!!!! 

as the other reviews state, you get to try the game for a bit for free before you have to pay £15. it's a high price, but you can always watch playthroughs if you really don't want to pay. the game is worth the price though. 

I do not recommend playing the game vertically like the photos suggest, it's a very disorientating experience!! please rotate your device to landscape and turn on "Analogue Stick Movement" in the controls section of the settings. trust me, this will make moving around so much easier. 

the game is witty and really takes into account how players react to choices in a video game. the stanley parable doesn't have a single narrative or task you have to complete, but instead has multiple storylines and endings each with their own commentary. the narrator's personality compliments the game well, and Im always interested in the things he has to say. my sister found him annoying, so I unfortunately had to send her to our local mental institution :(. 

if you like analysing the nature of video games while having a laugh, this game if for you!

if there's anything I could change, I wish we would look through the game assests or have some kind of spectator mode. there are many tiny details and text on papers, whiteboards etc. it's easy to look through on PC but you can't do it at all on any other device.

edit: some small bugs I noticed, not world ending but worth noting. the escape pod lighting is glitchy and the settings champion achievement may not be possible. there are some sliders in other versions of the game that don't exist on the mobile port, and I don't think that's taken into account.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t need to be reviewed

*2026-06-03, version 1.07*

This game is amazing also reminds me of the old one, but with new features

### 3/5 — The narrator died

*2026-05-30, version 1.07*

Usually love the game, but I think the audio broke for me? I’ve booted the game several times + changed the settings and nothing has worked so far. No clue what to do now🫥

### 5/5 — восторг

*2026-05-27*

самая гениальная игра на свете

### 3/5 — Muito bom

*2026-05-13*

O jogo é ótimo, mesmo tendo jogado só alguns finais. Porém 100 reais pelo jogo completo é extremamente fora da realidade. Jogos mais complexos custam menos da metade disso.

### 5/5 — Amazing, funny game

*2026-05-12, version 1.07*

I know a lot of people are upset about the paywall, but I love the fact that before you pay for the game you can play it. I bet that if people payed 15$ at first there would be less complaints. This game is creative, entertaining, fun, and an absolute spectacle.

### 2/5 — Good enough but

*2026-05-03, version 1.07*

Not worth £15 to play! There’s no ultimate goal I like that can redo same run for different outcomes but would be nice to have a goal and cheaper like 1/3 cheaper

### 5/5 — Очень круто ,но ДОРОГО

*2026-04-30*

Игра очень интересная , философская и очень много концовок (даже в пробной версии) спойлер : если ты не будешь слушать   Человека который рассказывает куда идти и пойдешь не туда то будет прям крутые концовки , все класс но если вы будите долго играть в пробной версии то вас затащат в комнату в которой будет презентация о платной версии а потом затащат в комнату в которой надо будит оплатить полную версию , а она стоит столько ,столько что вам надо будит продать свою почку а если вы не оплатите версию то вас оставят в комнате . Все понравилось только уменьшите цену а то слишком дорого 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — 구매하고 싶은 게임은 처음

*2026-04-30*

여러가지 엔딩은 네이버나 유튜브에서 다 볼 수 있지만 선택하는게 너무 재밌어서 지금 결제 고민중이네요.. 결제 진지하게 고민하게 하는 겜은 또 처음이네

### 5/5 — Broom closet ending

*2026-04-25, version 1.07*

Oh, did you get the broom closet? Ending the broom closet ending my favourite

### 5/5 — Love the details!

*2026-04-20*

I absolutely love the game! I also love the comedy of the Paywall. It’s so funny just annoying the narrator. And you should make an ending, if you are still adding them (please mention me in it too, just as a bonus) you should make an ending where if you tap on a vent, specifically one in the memory zone, a blue fuzzy hand with a yellow glove comes out… Mob Entertainment reference. This, honestly, is better than I could ever believe. And the Dog Mode Whiteboard ending should literally give you a dog and make it an anytime decision like the Stanley Parable Reassurance Bucket.
Anyways, I love the game! You should add in the bit about Raphael from the Stanley Parable Trailer. Anyways, love the game! Keep at it, and don’t let the narrator drive Stanley insane! Thanks for the game! And, if anyone is reading this to find out if this is good for a kid, it has minor cussing but used for comedy.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-04-18, version 1.07*

Best game ever,Buy it play it and enjoy.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — *one of the worst*

*2026-06-07, version 1.07*

Just as boring and vacuous as the when it was first released all those years ago. Now with the addition of two fiddly arrows on the bottom that act as navigation in this dreary game. I’d rather go on holiday to Epstein island than play this.

### 1/5 — luv it but not my budget

*2026-05-25*

i luv the details of it but I can’t afford it but luv the free trial :)

ps : can you make it free ?

### 1/5 — Boring as

*2026-05-18, version 1.07*

Waste of money

### 1/5 — You have to pay

*2026-05-16, version 1.07*

Super bad you should make it so you don’t have to pay

### 1/5 — Before playing, please read this review

*2026-05-09, version 1.07*

This game is good and some people say that there isn’t enough for the pay aspect, but there’s one thing that they forgot that there’s the bucket and with that bucket there’s even more to every single normal ending along with a silly birds Stanley figurines, the whole entire Stanley parable two Plaza and much more and it takes an hour and 30 minutes to beat the game or at least kind of because there’s an achievement or something like that where you have to sit there and like do nothing for 15 hours or probably more like 15 years but that’s still fun and try to beat the game. Thank you for reading this review.

### 1/5 — Sorry but not built for iPad AT ALL!! Could not get past the first filing cabinet!

*2026-04-26, version 1.07*

Nope nope nope

### 1/5 — Not interesting

*2026-04-07, version 1.07*

The full version would have to be exponentially more interesting than the free trial.  Unless I totally missed something,there was nothing to do but just move around in the free trial.

### 1/5 — Accessibility features do not include VoiceOver

*2026-02-01, version 1.07*

I saw this game said it included accessibility features, and while aid for color blind is excellent, the devs are missing out completely on adding VoiceOver support. Enabling direct touch at start-up makes the game completely unusable and VO does not speak with it. Shame, as this is a game with audio. If you are a VO user, do not get. Not until this is fixed. If it is.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-22, version 1.07*

In game will ask you for $22.99 Australian, to be able to play it. Its NOT free. Its an ad trap

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-01-17, version 1.07*

The game is rubbish, controls are awful even in landscape mode.

### 5/5 — The end is never the end…

*2026-07-11, version 1.07*

…is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is oh look a bucket never the end is never the end is never the end…

### 5/5 — The narrator’s fault

*2026-07-05, version 1.07*

Hey Mr. narrator, it’s my birthday, but I’m on free trial. Please let me play the whole game at least

### 5/5 — Such a great game

*2026-07-04, version 1.07*

This has to be in my top 10 games list it’s such a good game I highly recommend it, it’s incredibly funny with its irony and sarcasms as well as self awareness, there is no wrong way to play and that’s one of the things I love about this game, there’s so many hidden Easter eggs and achievements in the game it’s self, if you can afford it I do recommend you get the extra content it’s worth it, its not like a lot of games where you purchase extra content and it’s like a tiny scene it has basically a whole new game with so much new randomness and so many more endings although I do recommend that before you do if you do that you make 100% sure you’ve played every single ending first because it will change the whole game when you get the extra content, thank you Stanley parable for the wonderful experience

### 5/5 — Very cool & funny

*2026-07-01, version 1.07*

The narration deserves a standing ovation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

### 5/5 — LOL

*2026-06-28, version 1.07*

this made me genuinely smile so many times...

### 5/5 — So good!

*2026-06-22, version 1.07*

You never know the outcome of your choices and I love that!

### 5/5 — Easiest $15 of my life 😁

*2026-06-19*

I've seen a few playthroughs and decided to try the game for myself. It's hilarious and has what feels like infinite posibilities and endings(?) The narrator is easily the best part, he's relatable and sometimes gets as confused as I am in the moment. There are no ads in the demo (and also the full game obviously), and even the paywall was super cool-looking, HOWEVER: I do find the controls a bit difficult. I use an iPad, so I understand I may not be the target audience. I play this in portrait mode and I'm used to those digital joystick things (I forgot what they're called) however, the gameplay ultimately makes up for this in my opinion. I love my stickered digital comfort bucket!

### 5/5 — R

*2026-06-18, version 1.07*

The best game ever.

### 5/5 — A work of genius

*2026-06-16, version 1.07*

I have never left a game review before, but the hours of fun my son and I ha - I have never left a game review bef - I have never left a game - I have never left…

### 5/5 — awesome

*2026-06-08, version 1.07*

this game is awesome
