You can now officially get the Steam title to not play a game for five years

October 17, 2013, fictional indie adventure The parable Stanley has been published on Steam. It features a realization called "Go Outside", which requires not to play the game before five years. It is the 17th of October 2018. Success unlocked?

There is a way around time-based achievements. For example, we could easily win The parable StanleyCommitment commitment, which requires playing the game for a whole Tuesday, playing with the clock on their computer. Similarly, unscrupulous or enterprising players, depending on your point of view, could win "Go Outside" by convincing their computer that it will be five years from now. This would explain why 7.4% of players realized what was supposed to be unachievable until now.

But today marks the day when such a cheat is no longer necessary. If a player has bought The parable Stanley the day it was launched on Steam, he opened it and tinkered it before closing it again to never play, and then they missed a very clever game. Moreover, if they launch this very intelligent game today, they will be among the first to legitimately realize "Go Outside". Creator of the game Davey Wreden says it.

And if you, like our editor Riley MacLeod, do not remember the last day you played The parable Stanley and you are afraid to open the game and reset the timer, have a good day.
