Impressive Elden Ring Easter Egg Found In New Stanley Parable

screenrant.com:

While exploring The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, a player stumbled across a clever Dark Souls and Elden Ring Easter egg. TheUltra Deluxe version of The Stanley Parable is packed with extras that weren't included in the game's original 2013 release on PC. Players can access some of the new content via an E3-inspired show floor area, which introduces fresh explorable spaces, hilarious teases about a non-existent sequel, and a Reassurance Bucket.

To further fill out The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, developer Crows Crows Crows incorporated a bevy of Easter eggs for players to happen across while trying to escape Stanley's place of work. Some extras even involve Steam reviews of the 2013 iteration, complete with color commentary from the Narrator — who did not appreciate the negative critiques. Users who like to stop and read everything in the environment will also encounter references to The Last of Us, Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 (City), and FromSoftware's second Dark Souls outing. Interestingly, The Stanley Parable's more recent release boasts more than one nod to the latter franchise.

Twitter user and YouTuber Iron Pineapple has shared a screenshot of a Dark Souls/Elden Ring Easter egg featured in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. The reference comes in the form of a piece of Praise the Sun-like imagery, wherein a Dark Souls-style user message reads, "Praise the Jumping!" Apparently, the Easter egg can be found through an exploit in the jumping circle section. The post from Iron Pineapple appears as follows:

Just played through The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and they added this cool little Dark Souls/Elden Ring Easter egg. Pretty neat.
