Spoiler. What's with the elevator?

[cavifax]

Hi, i have a question, whats with the elevator that you can foud opening the doors in front of the boss' secretary desk? I've tried pushing both direction buttons and waiting for many minutes and nothing happens. What i'm doing wrong? It's the elevator just decoration or some unfinished thing?

I think the elevator is a troll. If you listen carefully you can hear voices under the music.

Yeah, i hear something like "Stanley" hmm hm hmm and some words i can't understand

I think the narrator sings "The Stanley Parable"

go in the elevator, listen to the music, pause the game, restart the game, Elevator ending ...lol

[SWFanatic]

The point is the most awesome elevator music you'll ever find.

Seconded

[Surprise]

when I were inside the elevator I heard the Narrator hummed something like "three two"

[cavifax]

The narrator sings something like "stanley" as i remember.

Here's the song on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZldeQ6JSJo

[Surprise]

The Narrator definitely utters some numbers while singing

He's simply counting off the beats in the measures. Nothing special.

It'd be nice to have it lead to another ending.

[Luciel RavenCraft]

The elevator is definetly something , I just wish that I knew what. Perhaps it's just a decoy to something else, or another item simply meant to mess with your mind. In any case, surely someone will discover something, but with how individual each session of this game is, results may be hard to duplicate.

Actually, the thing that puzzles me in that room is the Time magazine with the clock set at 1:50... I can't help but wonder if I should let the game sit until the office clocks read that... or the backwards clock in room 417...

I've let the elevator go for about 10 minutes... the song and the Narrator humming along with it just seems to loop endlessly. I don't think it goes anywhere... but there are all those elevators in the escape pod ending... and running up the staircases showed that every level of the office itself had the same desk numbers and layout... maybe we're not actually exiting the elevator at the same level, but it just has the same appearance... maybe if we let it climb up high enough, the narrator would be with us for the escape pod...

That would be a good theory but, if you erase the elevator doors (type bind "r" ent_remove) it stays at the office.

Also, I got bored and tried to ent_remove the buttons from the inside, and I removed the following entities:
func_button
glow
dockloadingdoor
func_teleporter <--- Means that there is a triggered teleportation sequence hidden in there somewhere. Could possibly take you to another floor if you press the button at the right moment. Or if you press the right combination of buttons.
