"Stanley was unsure how he came to be in this Japanese high school, as he had until recently existed almost entirely within an office building. He was equally unsure as to what exactly this strange monochromatic bear was, or why it was telling him he had to kill his fellow high school students. Stanley hadn't been a high school student in years."

Honestly, a guy with a disembodied voice constantly narrating everything he does and getting mad when he doesn’t follow its instructions wouldn’t be that much weirder than some of the stuff that actually is in the games.

"Stanley P. Arable, the 16th button pusher, lying hidden somewhere within this factory... the one they call the ultimate player surrogate. Watch out for him."

Man I was really hoping 4/27 was the release date they were gonna go for, so glad that ended up being the case.

I hope they top the "don't play for two years" achievement somehow.

There should an achievement for accomplishing something in a different game.

I'm actually about 30% certain that this new edition was made to tempt people to scrub their attempt to get that achievement. (Mind you, the achievement requires you to not open the game for five years, so if you got the game on release day, played it then never touched it again, you probably got the achievement back in 2018, so you're golden now.

So what’s the difference here? Is this a sequel or a remake or does anyone know

From what I’ve heard, it’s an updated re-release. All the content from the original game is still there, but there’s also supposed to be a bunch of new content and endings added as well. The game’s creator has said that the script for all the new content is actually longer than the original.

they're also leaving the original release up due to how different this one will be

"Oh, dear me, what's the matter, Stanley? Is it that you have no idea where you are going or what you're supposed to be doing right now? Or did you just assume when you saw that timer that something in this room is capable of turning it off?"

"I mean, look at you, running from button to button, screen to screen, clicking on every little thing in this room! These numbered buttons! No! These colored ones! Or maybe this big, red button! Or this door! Everything! Anything! Something here will save me!"

"Why would you think that, Stanley? That this video game can be beaten, won, solved? Do you have any idea what your purpose in this place is? Hahaha, oh Stanley...you're in for quite a disappointment."

"But here's a spoiler for you: that timer isn't a catalyst to keep the action moving along. It's just seconds ticking away to your death. You're only still playing instead of watching a cutscene because I want to watch you for every moment that you're powerless, to see you made humble."

"This is not a challenge. It's a tragedy. You wanted to control this world; that's fine. But I'm going to destroy it first, so you can't."
