About

Welcome to The Paper Parable. You will play as Mario, and you will not play as Mario. Your choices will matter, and your choices will be meaningless. You will solve the mystery of Princess Peach's disappearance, and you will be forever left in the dark. The Paper Parable is a fully custom remix of The Stanley Parable, with more than a double-handful of fully unique endings. Knowledge of The Stanley Parable is not necessary for playing this game.
