As we all know, The Stanley Parable isn't exactly a game that plays things conventionally. From the moment that you begin playing, you know you're encountering something special as the constant narration of every single thing you do is both utterly charming and completely disarming.

You have no idea if you are leading the events, or if the game is completely manipulating you at every step of the way, and yet it turns out that his brain whisking experience was actually even more surprising for those who got their hands on advanced copies of The Stanley Parable Demonstration.

It turns out that this demo was actually tailored to the few outlets that received them, making for personalized surprises when the narrator introduced both Danny and Ross by name when the demonstration was played on the GameGrumps YouTube channel, as well as throwing in lines familiar to fans of the series' in-jokes.

It's incredibly rare to see developers go to such lengths but it was mind blowing nonetheless to see these hidden winks and nods sprinkled throughout the exclusive play session.
