The Stanley Parable Endings Guide Walkthrough

The Stanley Parable, an often-times hilarious Half-Life 2 mod turned full release has been greenlit on Steam and here we’ll show you how to unlock each secret ending. Arbitrary choice is the name of the game — your unnamed protagonist follows a mysterious narrator’s instructions to the end of the story. Doing what you’re told isn’t the goal. It only leads to an unsatisfying conclusion. Instead, you’ll need to make many choices, in different orders, to find special and awesome endings. Learn more about the parable below. Table of Contents

In gameplay terms, you’ll often reach a point of divergence in which you’re given an option. Different options will lead to a different ending! New endings are cool, so you’ll want to do different things! It’s a game! This is your first convergence point. To get this specific ending you’ll need to follow the narrator’s instructions, to the letter. Which means take the left door. Proving that you’re totally okay with following orders in the videodrome and that you have no interest in rocking the boat, keep traveling the preordained path. Be sure to stop and relax at the scenic broom closet for some amusing dialog! Another Choice! Well, you want freedom, right? So go up the stairs. And fast! Or slow. Just be sure to GO UP THE STAIRS if you want to be free! You made it to the boss’ office! To continue, you’ll need to use the secret code on the keypad behind the desk. The code you should never know. 2845. Here’s a toughie. Walk forward to the Ominously named Mind Control Facility, or run to freedom’s loving bosom. Thankfully, if you want the normal ending, you have no choice and therefore Forward is the correct (possibly ironic?) option. Here it is! The final Choice! Hit the OFF switch to finally free yourself of this madness. And here, at the end of all things, Stanley has broken the tether that controls him. So do what the narrator says and step forward! You even get an achievement! Now shut the game down and feel content in your accomplishment. If you’re an order-follower but a begrudging one, when at the boss’s office, hurry up and input “2845” on the console before the narrator is able to tell you what the code is. I’ll do everything you say, but I do it at my pace, dammit. Freedom may not be delicious, and it certainly isn’t free, but.. well, I’m sure someone will edit something profound here. Surely. Well, you could get back on track, but that maintenance elevator looks interesting. Go to the elevator and push the button to get ending 5. [Fall to Stanley’s death here to get an alternate ending.] Go ahead and travel through the RED door. I think the narrator’s being perfectly reasonable, don’t you? A twist! You’re teleported out, but keep at it. Go through the blue door again. Again you’ll be teleported but don’t go into that red door! Turn around on the spot and head into the blue door behind you, you’ll be happy you did. The objective of this ending is to go out the window. In the first room after leaving your office, you’ll see two windows, one overlapping with a cubicle. There are two chairs on it, go for the RIGHT-most one and attempt to ram yourself into it until you find yourself standing on it. At this point you’ll want to CROUCH to get ontop of the computer monitor and from there you’ll want to proceed into the white light of the window. Go into the light, Stanley. What you’ll want to do this time is take a few steps into the office, then immediately back out. If done properly, you should be able to beat the double doors and be trapped outside the office. Now you’ll want to head back to YOUR office, so retrace your steps. It’s here, at the phone where you make your stand. Pull out the plug! You’ll be no patsy to the narrator’s telephone trickery! What you’ll want to do is find a screen, click it and then restart. The first two screens can be found in before the two doors, while the third is found in the room before the boss’s office. The fourth is again found before the two doors, and the last is in Stanley’s very own office! How ominous? Let’s get serious! After about an hour, or two hours, another button will appear which is the puppy game the narrator mentioned earlier! So now you’ve got two buttons to quickly alternate pressing. There’s really no “tape rock to mouse” option for this one, you’re actually going to have to sit there and click for four hours. Find your center, breath and repeat. The button is your totem and tyranny is freedom. If you want to know the future, imagine a finger pressing a red button. Forever. [Credit for this find goes to Hetsuv on Youtube.]
