Anyway, I am still yet to play this wonderful game due to... computer and money reasons

To emulate the experience just hit your head against a brick wall while listening to a "The best of Stephen Fry" CD until it feels good. I assure you it is magical.

The staircase ending (YOU KNOW THE ONE) made me very sad.

Apparently the original ending theme was the narrator forcing you to pitch yourself off the staircase until you died repeatedly, but it upset the testers too much.

Also you should all watch The Stanley Parable - Rapheal.

I hope that was a legit message that they got. Great example of Missed-The-Point-Completely. You could tell that at some points while reading the message, the narrator was having trouble keeping a straight face.

Going through the message again, though, I'm pretty sure it was a fictional person. Oh well.

I enjoyed this for the $10 I spent. I probably played 4 hours and rushed through as much as I could, but I imagine I still missed something. Not terribly motivated to go back and dissect it for other endings, but it was a fun experiment to play the game. Got plenty of lulz too, especially out of the "developer" ending.

I hope it was real. In the credits, they thank Raphael. : )

Uh, I've got a slightly spoilerish question.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is my mic not working correctly or is there just no way to get past the voice receiver in the boss office?

I've played this 2 hours and I really love it. I'll probably play it a lot more too.

I checked my mic settings for that, too, but never got past it. Personally, I figured that it just didn't work. Besides, isn't the Stanley Parable a Source game? I thought it was, and I'd never heard of any Source games using voice recognition.

They could've coded it in, wouldn't have been that hard, especially for 5 words. Thanks for the answer.

Major (relatively speaking) spoiler analysis:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I only got that door after a long chain of rejecting the narrator. I mean, it went on forever. Basically right door, right walkway, blue door blue door blue door, something something, and you're back at the fork. Then you go to the left, end up in the office and get the voice recorder.

I think of it as the "The narrator is an asshole director" ending, because it's all about how you won't experience the thing he wants to show you and when you finally agree to it, he requires you to do something that is completely out of the scope of the game and your abilities, and throws a hissy fit when you clearly can't do it.

Oh, there's multiple ways to get there? I already figured out the walkway thing, just didn't get around to exploring it further.

Wait, actually. If you ALWAYS reject the Narrator, don't you end up without a Narrator and then fade to black? My favorite ending so far. Maybe I didn't go deep enough
