We've missed the Thursday mark, but there's still time to snag some free games over on Epic's shelves. This week, the house of Sweeney are giving away The Stanley Parable and Watch Dogs. One is a sprawling, meta-textual comedy narrative about control and the nature of stories themselves. The other has a bloke with a neat cap. You've got until next Thursday to grab 'em…
The Stanley Parable’s narrator answers your (definitely real) release date concerns
Is that a tingling in my ears? Has Kevan Brighting's soothing voice returned to comfort my lobes? The Stanley Parable's narrator is back in a new trailer, and he's got some concerning news regarding the development of the upcoming Ultra Deluxe edition. Reluctantly, regrettably, and due to popular demand, it appears the labyrinthine adventure's second remake won't be launching as planned this year.
Indie developer Crows Crows Crows, whose founder William Pugh is one of the developers behind The Stanley Parable, has released a free browser-based MMO. It is described as "a mix between Journey, RuneScape and that time U2’s new album got auto-installed on everybody’s iPhones." The Club - a blocky 90s-Internet styled multi-player discothon whose name is surrounded by the animated GIF flames of a Geocities…
Feature: The creators rethinking art exhibitions in cyberspace
When was the last time you went to a museum?I still do, on occasion. Maybe not as much as when I was a hapless kid trailing around after grandparents, bothering the goldfish in the National Museum of Scotland’s lobby. Twenty years later, I can at least pretend to have more interest in the installations -- but I do miss the fish.Last year, I visited several…
Feature: We can utilise a zeitgeist as well as anyone else
If you’ve choosed-and-adventured through Bandersnatch, the recent Black Mirror thing on Netflix, and aren’t already a fan of experimental interactive fiction: I envy you. It means you’re able to play actually good examples of interactive fiction for the first time.Sure, Bandersnatch has funny lines, surprises and scene stealing performances from Will Poulter doing a “pretty much exactly how I, the writer, talk in real life”…
Splendid walk-o-laffer The Stanley Parable is being revisited and expanded again in an Ultra Deluxe edition. This will bring new endings, new choices, and I'm sure so very many new secrets. The main goal of Ultra Deluxe is to bring the game to consoles but hey, it'll come our way too so we all win. Have a peek at Stanley's anguish in the announcement trailer.
The Accounting+ trailer is the best thing you’ll watch today
Back in the day, when we first started RPS, a lot of my day was spent searching through GameTrailers (sniff, thanks GameTrailers) to find interesting-looking videos to write snark underneath. Now we force Dominic to do that, by means too criminal to describe, because there are only so many years you can do it for before you need to kill again. But I can't stop…
If you’ve not played The Temple of No before, it’s good, and you should try it. These are the words that the makers of The Temple of No told me to say about their Twine game. The update to the game is also very good. These are not the words that the makers of The Temple of No told me to say about their game.…

Rick & Morty & Crows & Crows & Crows: Accounting Released Free For Vive
What do you get if you lock Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland in virtual reality with the Dr. Langeskov gang at Crows Crows Crows for a few months? A few dozen slop buckets you couldn't pay me to go near. Also Accounting [official site], a virtual reality accounting simulator for HTC Vive. It's out now for free on Steam and... I'm not quite sure…
Accounting [official site] is the latest game from Crows Crows Crows, the studio directed by William Pugh, one of the brains behind the Stanley Parable. Made in partnership with Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland, it looks like precisely the sort of hilariously harrowing cartoon nightmare I'd hoped for when news that the two were working together on a Vive game reached us around this…
The Temple Of No Is A Free, Funny Game From Co-Creator Of The Stanley Parable
Cancel your evening plans, you have something better to do now, and it involves playing a charming free Twine game. The Temple of No [official site] is a fourth wall-breaking adventure about a woman, bloke or frog journeying forth to find a "map that sees all things that ever have been or will be (but in map form)". It's silly and short, written by The…

Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist review
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist is the new game from the new studio from William Pugh, co-developer of The Stanley Parable. It starts British comedian Simon Amstell, and could arguably be said to maybe possibly feature a grappling hook. It's free, and out now, and here's whether it's worth your precious, precious time.
A little while back William Pugh (who partnered with Davey Wreden on The Stanley Parable), Dominik Johann, Jack de Quidt and Sean O'Dowd formed a studio called Crows Crows Crows and began teasing their first game [official site countdown thinger] via an ARG. For those of you (and by "you" I secretly mean "us") who have been intrigued by the Crows Crows Crows emails but…
A couple of days ago William Pugh - one half of the team that brought us The Stanley Parable - teased a new development team, and a new game to be announced soon. It seems he's not going to be making it easy for anyone, as it's kicking off with an ARG. About Crows.
The co-creator of splendid Adult Swim cartoon Rick and Morty (also the voice of their words and belches) Justin Roiland is planning some sort of virtual reality game thing for HTC Vive, working with folks including one of the Stanley Parable chaps. It's a bit of a mystery for now but he's a funny chap and Stanley's pal William Pugh is too, so that's nice.…
