I played the original version which was just a half life mod earlier this year. And just a few minutes ago finished the new one...I think. It's a little tough to keep track of all the endings and how you got there.
I don't want to say any more for fear of spoiling it. It is totally trippy. I might revisit it on shrooms sometime.
Note: There is almost no gameplay besides walking around. The fun is in the mindfuck and choices you make.

It has piqued my interest, but I am kind of getting tired of paying $10-$15 for these indie games on Steam that take like three hours to beat. There are some extremely interesting games available though.
Check out "Gone Home" for another walking around game where you don't see much action. It's actually probably one of my favorite games ever.

If you own Half Life 2 you should definately download the old, free version of Stanley's Parable which is a HL2 mod.
The general concept is the same and it's still really cool, it's just not as polished.

I have the new HD remix release of it. I think I paid 7 to 10 bucks on steam for it. Its well built enough to be worth it IMO. It is a pretty short game overall and I wish they had lengethened it more, but there are TONS of variations on endings and paths and stuff.
IMO Worth it if 10 bucks isnt a big deal to spend. If it is then you might want to wait for a steam sale or something.

I played this game a few days ago and really loved it. This is a the "meta" game genre (if there was ever such a thing) at its finest. There's so much more than a single punchline too (as can be the bane of self-aware video games) because of the breadth, depth and sheer entertainment.
Sure you can see most of what you want to see in about 2-3 hours but this was an absolute delight. Anyways, AAA stuff is usually 15 ish hours long so you're getting about the same time:dollar ratio if that's something you care about.
Anyhow, the demo is its own game so try that first if you're unsure and you wont be wasting your time/money regardless. Watch the trailers too, they are pretty hilarious.

So, I bought the game for $11. I played for an hour and had a bunch of fun but accidentally wiped my progress. I think it's pretty worth it.

I dont think you can accidentally wipe your progress??? The game restarts itself and ends so quick its not like you need a save game to go back to where you were?
