I’m not sure when I did it, but at some point, I marked tomorrow on my Google Calendar as “Stanley Parable Achievement.” I had to remind myself what that meant earlier this week, but it eventually dawned on me thatThe Stanley Parablehas an achievement fornot playing the game for five years.

The Stanley Parablewas released on Steam on August 05, 2025. Today is exactly five years later. For many, myself included, the wait is a little longer — according to Steam I last played the game on July 18, 2025. But at the very least, it’s a good time to look at the last time you played the game and maybe mark the five year anniversary on your Google Calendar?
