EU release played via Steam on a Fujitsu Lifebook A532.

After the success of Portal 2's whitty, character driven dialogue and at the height of the "walking sim" craze, it's kind of amazing more games like The Stanley Parable aren't around. The power of the narrator's irony-dripping voice coupled with the Winchester House-style of a maze-like office building was fairly entertaining and managed to keep that level of laughable insanity pretty much for the entirety of its play time. It gets a little tiresome once you're certain you've discovered all the little secrets and endings (an in-game check list might have been appropriate since finding those things was the sole driver of the gameplay) but for a 2-3 hour experience this was addicting.
