Every time I play the game I have to wait for 2 minutes for the game to figure out again that the servers are offline.

Game won't start

From the ashes of depravity rises the phoenix of quality.
How else to describe the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe?
Such a revolutionary step forward in the lineage of one of the most beloved video game properties of all time!
The additions and changes made to this expansion will surely resonate in the annals of the history of all media ever made.
It is perhaps true to say that no mistakes are forever etched in stone, for the stone into which stone the Stanley Parable was carved has itself been transmuted, offering a message of hope to those who have ever erred in their judgement.
You are not beyond redemption.
You may change, and you may become more, so much more than you ever were before.
If there is any message to be taken from the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, it is this...
What a fortune, a privilege, a joy it is to have had such an experience, it leaves me hopeful that as a community - as a world there is time for us to become our greatest selves, as great as we could dream in our wildest, most ambitious visions for a brighter future.

I think I had a solid 50/50 on whether I solved the puzzles as intended or by sequence breaking the game.

Played 2 matches, in both of them an aimbotter joined mid way through the game and ruined the match. If you go to the mods menu, one of them is an aimbot. what is the point of playing this game then.

A short adventure made to deliver a just as short message, which would be fine, but the game just straight up tells the message instead of letting the player come to that conclusion.
The universe is presented in two ways, the player character's introspection which is way too on the nose to be good, and the notes which get worse and worse the more you think about them.
This short adventure tries to be an artsy game without the nuance and thoughtful crafting to achieve that goal in any meaningful way.

I need more of this

Truth be told: this is not a game.
This is something like a virtual story teller or something.
But ohhh god this is awesome for what it is and if you have 6 minutes to spare (who hasn't really?), try this, it's worth it.
