The Stanley Parable

When I launch the game I just get a blank screen with the sound of an office in the background and the computer becomes completely unresponsive and I have to do a hard reset.
Someone suggested getting the source SDKs and I've installed them but that didn't help. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?

EDIT: Setting the launch option to -windowed solved the problem and I was able to make it fullscreen once I was in the game.

Managed to get all the achievements except the Commitment one. The Unachievable achievement is not. I think I'm pretty mcuh done with this game now, but it was fun.

Gone through and gotten 5 different endings so far. Had a look online and there's around 15 different endings to get

Is the demo lifted from the actual game or is it different?

It's different.

Having a go at this. My mind is full of ****. I've had a game of minecraft and portal in there!

Glanza · 20 Oct 2013 at 19:54

Got all the achievements I think you can get currently.

Only two I haven't got is the unobtainable one and commitment

Sounds daft but after playing it I did step back and think, 'What the **** am I doing in my current job?'. So yeah, will be having a think next week

In that case lets get this to david cameron.

I have started making some short videos to show some of the ending in this game

They contain spoilers so I will just put a link to my channel and put it into a spoiler box

Wish someone could manipulate my emotions to make me enjoy work everyday :cool:

I love this game, it's just fantastic.

I've found a load of endings but I'm sure there are plenty more to find.

Its not really a game IMO, just a time filler, the equivalent of watching a silly TV show for a bit of light entertainment. I got tired of it quite fast and wished there had been a bit more of an objective, other than just finding endings, to keep it interesting.
Nevertheless, it was original, amusing and cheap. So no buyers remorse

You can get the unobtainable one. I got it.

Thanks, just tried it and really enjoyed it, glad I bought the full game now. Will give it a go later.

To everyone that says 'I've played for 2 hours and completed everything I can do' - You haven't.

Played for an hour, went through couple of "endings" but this repetition is so off putting, especially once I have been through the insanity-dream part. I don't see why this game was well received. Regret spending £8

I've played nearly 10 hours, and I've nearly seen everything.

I'm not going to do the baby thing for four hours though!

I'm pretty sure there are some hidden things that nobody has yet to find. An update came out for it a few days ago, but nobody knows that for.

I hope so. There are a number of places where I think there could be more story threads...

The bosses lift, what if you could make it go somewhere?
When the room with two doors has lots of doors, a path which does go somewhere if you take the correct route?
Managing to stop the countdown
The glitched escape pod ending
Actually being able to complete the confusion ending as per schedule.
If you hear it's raining outside and jump out of the window will the ending change.
Listening to the recorded message could somehow cause a chain of bad things

I'm sure there are many more possibilities
