The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is an expanded re-imagining of the critically acclaimed, award winning indie game The Stanley Parable from 2013. Everything that was in the original Stanley Parable is here, preserved just like it was back in 2013. But The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe also dramatically expands the world of the original game with new content, new choices, and new secrets to uncover. The labyrinth has just gotten bigger. In addition, the game has been visually upgraded to reflect modern technology while faithfully preserving the tone of the original game. Accessibility features have also been added to the game, including localization of in-world text, colorblind options, and content warnings. And just as before, the impeccable voicework of Kevan Brighting will accompany you every step of the way. In The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, everything you remember has been recreated, yet it's different somehow. We've been here before, haven't we? Is Stanley still the same as he was back then? Or is it you who has changed?

존재하지 않는 문. 사라진 기록. 그리고 돌아오지 못한 사람들. 눈을 뜨니 낯선 모텔 방. 문은 잠겨 있고, 창문은 열리지 않고, 휴대폰엔 신호가 없다. 방 안 곳곳에 흩어진 단서와 아이템을 조합해 탈출구를 찾아야 한다. Room Zero는 텍스트와 아이템 조합 중심의 미니멀한 방탈출 어드벤처입니다. 화려한 그래픽 대신 정적과 텍스트, 그리고 서늘한 이미지로 긴장감을 쌓아 올립니다. - EP.01 — 404호: 사라진 객실 - EP.02 — 심야 병동: 존재하지 않는 병동 - EP.03 — 폐쇄구역: 기록되지 않은 사람들 EP.03에서는 친구와 함께하는 2인 협동 모드도 즐길 수 있습니다. 방 코드 하나로 초대해 각자 다른 단서를 모으고, 대화로 맞춰가며 함께 탈출구를 찾아보세요. 한 번 시작하면 멈추기 힘든 몰입감 있는 스토리와 퍼즐을 경험해보세요. 진행 상황은 기기에 자동 저장되어 언제든 이어서 플레이할 수 있습니다.
