Some things i noticed, HEY GRAN PC! Check this out!
As River Song would say: Spoilers!

So i found the escape pod ending online, and as i went up, i noticed something bazar, idk if anyone noticed this yet so i'm posting it, check this out, i took a pic of every room in the window every floor on the way up, take a look:

last, top floor of the escape pod thing

Now with that much you can just assume that the developers just recycled the same room to make it appear detailed, but two notes about the stanley parable:
1. NEVER take ANYTHING for granted.
2. EVERYTHING is delibrite. EVERYTHING that seems "odd"... anything that seems "reused" like that always means something.
(off topic for a minute: wtf my computer just knocked, where did that come from only steam is open, 2 knocks as if someone were knocking at a door, if anyone can explain that in the comments, please do)
anyway back on track, so what is that? that room? i took this picture from the room that you walk into right from your office (by the window that you can walk through to get that ending, also where the phone tends to ring sometimes)
http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/matthew10a/2013-12-25_00046_zps70828f3b.jpg
BOOM! Your looking through from the other side of the white window! Which could possibly be where the narrator is (if he "is" somewhere) also while i'm already going, i got the whiteboard ending today and i took some pics, check out my favorate ones:

Ever cheat with sv_cheats 1? you get taken to the "serious room" for a "stern talking to", the narrator mencions taking notes on tables, well here they are, they were droped here, so that means the narrator had to have walked through here, meaning the narrator was a real person, at first i thought that they came from room 429
http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/matthew10a/2013-12-25_00025_zpse7d215ae.jpg
but then i noticed they were all around the file cabnet.

One more thing noone has ecnolaged, when you follow the narrarators story, and get to the screen room and turn them all on, when there showing all the employee numbers, all of them are displayed accept for a few that say fired, one where the number is blank, one that says pirate, and one, and this one really caught my attencion, where Employee 234 should be, there is some kind of picture but i can't make it out, it may be the mind control room (with the big red buttons and the stupid door) wit hfull lighting, i just cant tell. It may be a clue ;)

Thats about it, please comment with any comments you may need to comment with!

Oh and another thing, what about when your in the sensory deprivation chamber in the demo, the narrorator keeps bringing up things that never happened (the catwalk, the elevator) i just wana know what thats about.
SrPilha Dec 25, 2013 @ 6:24pm 
yo, spoilers.

Also, those are well documented secrets (see the appropriate thread), but it's still a very nice find on your own. :)

And since you noticed you're looking through the window into the space where you get right after you leave Stanley's office, have you tried jumping out of that window? you should :).

About the demo: what do you mean those things never happened? Don't you remember them?
NebbyOtt Dec 25, 2013 @ 6:43pm 
ya i've done every known ending,

I seriously take my hat off to anyone who does the 'Art' ending. 4 hours of hitting buttons to save puppies and babies doesn't sound like much fun to be honest.
NebbyOtt Dec 25, 2013 @ 8:51pm 
"you heartless basterd"

In all honesty, i didn't do that one, and i never will.

Whoever does the 'art' ending should be officially be given the title of Martyr. At least one person had to do it so we could see what it was. At least one player had to sit there for four hours. If I knew who the first person to complete the Art ending was I would have Papa Johns deliver them a pizza. I would praise them for eternity. Or at least four hours.

Also I'm trying my hardest to be snarky here, but in all seriousness Yin Yang, since you do enjoy the game and are earnestly looking for secrets, remember that the developers have a sense of humor where they make the narrator crazy at some points. The cat-walk doesn't really hint at anything, or at least I don't think so. I think it's just there because the demo is supposed to be an example of the game and at the end he starts becoming unstable and frantic.

There ARE secrets in the demo though!
NebbyOtt Dec 25, 2013 @ 10:45pm 
Well yeah i know about the secret emotion booth in the back, are there more?
BubsyErotica Dec 25, 2013 @ 11:06pm 
Have you tried throwing the cup up into the rafters rather than putting it in the bin? It's pretty much just extra dialog but it's fun.

Also i think the "end" of the confusion ending is not the end, where the narrator refuses to restart the game and the loud beepy sound restarts it, (which has not been explained, by the way, i will not stop playing the stanely parable untill i find an answer for everything, then i'll stop for only 5 years and THATS IT) anyway, after the confusion ending is suposidly over, if you go down the right door, and look into one of the windows into what looks like a group room, you see the Adventure Line™ (™?) crashing into some filing cabnets.

under normal playing sercomstances, that is not there. (i take screenshots of everything, to review you later) Don't forget what the confusion ending bored said!
http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/matthew10a/2013-12-22_00018_zps639c8e15.jpg
THE NARRATOR FORGETS ABOUT PREVIOUS RESTARTS!
AND jump ahead, you find the line again and start following it! I know theres a way to actuly do this! so, ok, i've tryed "attempting to do the story" but i wasn't "prevented" at all i made it all the way to outside and "won", I also tryed doing the confusion ending twice, and thats when i found out that that does absolutly nothing, i took a break to watch the doctor who christmas thing, (i don't like the new one's... face... or his hair.)anyway, thats that, anyone got any info, please say so.

^Read that without revieling spoilers^
NebbyOtt Dec 25, 2013 @ 11:29pm 
WAIT i just found something else! in the confusion ending, when you enter that weird wooden building, theres a sign in there, facing the wall, FROM THE DEMO.
http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/matthew10a/2013-12-25_00094_zpsad0d7958.jpg

Hold on a second, i just had an interesting thought, what if theres a clue on the Stanley Parable, is on there store page on steam? i know how it sounds, but if i were a dev, and we were packing as many secrets in a game as possable, i would do something like that.
NebbyOtt Dec 25, 2013 @ 11:44pm 
For example, heres something, http://store.steampowered.com/app/221910/?snr=1_7_15__13 this is one of the screenshots from the screenshot gallery, do you see this in the game?
NebbyOtt Dec 26, 2013 @ 12:23am 
"BAM! This probibly means nothing for the story but it defenatly means alot for what the room is! " Actuly it could, could show that the 2 games are connected. (yes i consider the demo a seprate game"
BubsyErotica Dec 26, 2013 @ 12:29am 
I think what you have right now is an entire school of red herrings. The devs said they created the demo like that so that they didn't have to show any of the actual game, and so that people could have fun and play the free demo. It was part marketing, part fun. Of course they would be connected storyline wise, but other than that? A lot of the things in this game are just for fun and don't lead anywhere, because that's part of the humor and flavor of the game.

Also, you can in fact find the yellow line again, but it doesn't lead anywhere. After the confusion ending resets itself, that part is over.
