The Mystery of Employee 234

[cerebro]

While i played a little further into the game today I considered the developers clue to more endings... "Up". I linked this to the elevator in the bosses office, and while that certainly must lead nowhere (or does it?) I couldnt help but ponder what the whole "2, 3, 4..." in the elevator music. It was the narrator saying it aswelll, could it just have been him numbering dance moves as he boogied to the groovy tune? I did not want to believe that, it had to be more complicated, there had to be some meaning to this sequence of numbers. I first tried using 234 on the keypad in the bosses office but no sequence was to any avail. I then tried to do it in the mind control facility, again there was nothing, neither before or after the detonation began. But then I thought harder, and I realised that 234 was one of the employee numbers in the game, so I went back to the monitor room and looked for 234's screen. I was greeted with something I dont know what to think about and luckily nabbed 2 screenshots of the monitor; I will post them below.

The screenshots are awful quality as you can see, but the screen which should have "234" written on it does not bear this number but instead some other weird symbols. I would urge fellow players seeking the hidden endings in this game to hop on and decifer the symbols which are much clearer when seen in the actual game.

Update: Managed a closer look at the 234 monitor... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=723370834

Finally something new. For now I have no idea what this means, but we'll delve into it, I'm sure.

Hopefully :D

it is so awesome that after all this time people are still finding new secrets in the game

But guys, couldn't this actually be a clue to a hidden ending? Does the answer lay within the confines of employee 234's office?

yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Or there's another clue leading to the ending. The question is, how do we get to office 234? Where is it?

No idea, I havent really had time to launch the game back up and look around yet, maybe you could give it a try? Besides that I think you can find lower office numbers during the confusion ending storyline.

There is a better picture of it. I thought it might be a refference to the pokemon missingno, but it is different. For what its worth the wiki does not have much info on this: http://thestanleyparable.wikia.com/wiki/Employee_234
although they do have more info on 432.
I'd be interested if someone could find the office

Know I'm necroing this but we need to still solve this mystery.
If we can find just about where the Employees that are in the 200's I'm pretty sure we can locate 234's office.

We shouldn't only look for his office, maybe other mentions of him, such as papers or even INTERNAL refrnces to Employee 234.
My friend "That One Guy Who Mains Medic" Has an idea of looking through the Hammer World Editor to look for any mention of 234.
